Hi Ryan! Yes, you should be able to log in. I’ve seen that error before, though I’m not sure what causes it to show up. Normally if you restart the browser and try again, it will work on the second shot. Sorry about that!

Should I be able to log into the JuliaBox link now (Aug 21)? After I log in with LinkedIn I receive a “request to the redirect_uri_path but there’s no session state found”. Just want to make sure that my company’s internet policies aren’t getting in the way. :)
