Description

Despite being logged in on other wikis and the autologin working most of the time, today I was unable to login to sourceswiki (wikisource.org). When I wasn't logged in automatically, I manually navigated to Special:UserLogin and entered my username and password. When I tried to submit the form, I was told

There seems to be a problem with your login session; this action has been canceled as a precaution against session hijacking. Please resubmit the form.

this occurred despite repeated attempts to resubmit the form, both with and without "Keep me logged in" enabled.

Are you still locked out? Does clearing cookies help? Might be T258121: Logging in to a wiki sometimes fails with 'sessionfailure' error (coinciding with SameSite rollout).

Yes, still locked out, despite having logged in again on other wikis.
