Postman macOS login redirect issue (stuck after browser auth) | Postman | Page 1

Hi, I’m having an issue logging into Postman on macOS.

When I try to log in via the Postman desktop app, it redirects me to the browser for authentication. After selecting my account and completing the login, it redirects back to the app, but I’m still not logged in (see Screenshot 1). I also cannot access any workspaces.

Additionally, when I click “Check for Updates…”, it shows an error (see Screenshot 2).

I’ve already tried downgrading to Version 11, but the issue still persists. Interestingly, Postman works fine on another Mac with the same account.

Does anyone know what might be causing this or how to fix it?
Thanks in advance for your help!

Version Info:
• Version: 12.5.6
• UI Version: 12.5.6-ui-260410-0231
• Desktop Platform Version: 12.5.6 (12.5.6)

Can you go to https://go.postman.co and sign out from the web version?

#

Are you doing this on a work or private network?

Thanks for your reply giveheart

I’m using a private network (home WiFi) and not connected to any VPN. I’ve tried sign out from https://go.postman.co/ and sign in again, but the issue still persisted.

Finally, I found solution to resolve the issue by clearing the local app data:
rm -rf ~/Library/Application\ Support/Postman
After that, postman worked normally again!
