The issue with creating new jboss dev accounts has been fixed and I've raised https://issues.jboss.org/browse/KEYCLOAK-5248 for this issue.

Thanks

Matt

Hi Thomas, how do I do that? I pressed sign up in the top right corner and filled all that in... Then I did 'log in' but it never seemed to show I had logged in

Hello Matt,

you need to create a JBoss jira account.

Cheers,
Thomas

I've been trying to raise a jira ticket. I've gone to https://issues.jboss.org/browse/KEYCLOAK , signed up, and logged in but I can't create issues. The Create button isn't visible.

Do I need to do something else?

Thanks

Matt

Looks like a bug. Could you please create JIRA for this?

Thanks,
Marek

I can't see anywhere that clears it. I'm not sure how long client notes live, but I assume longer than the current authentication attempt, because once it's set, I can see that it stays true for all my "prompt=login" authentication attempts after that.
