Confirm password to continue takes me to a 404 Error

[aknight]

V7.2.1

 

When in /admin when I am prompted for "Confirm password to continue" I enter the password, click Confirm Password and my 404 page loads.

 

This just started today, was working fine.

it's strange that it just occurs all of a sudden - have you made any recent changes?

 

one thing to try, though it may not necessarily help if you're being redirected to a 404 page, would be the hook posted below by jclarke - it removes the need to enter the password when you get this Confirm Password nonsense.

Thank you Brian, I added the hook to /includes/hooks but still get the Confirm Password. Just for fun I then tried IE rather than Chrome. I still get the Confirm Password but I get past it without a 404.

 

I am good for now, thanks again!

the form will still appear for a split second, but the hook should automatically forward you on the intended page... it doesn't necessarily work automatically on all pages, but should in setup -> general settings and a few others.

 

it's a ridiculously annoying feature.

I too have a similar intermittent issue with 7.2.2

 

If I use Chrome it often fails to login to admin - Firefox never fails.

 

And why do I have to keep inputting the password every time I change page?
