When that inner page asks for credentials, signing in on the system’s normal website restores its browser session before Tabflows shows it again. Humans placed one login screen inside another product; the ownership did not move with the pixels.* --- A connected system may show a login page inside Tabflows when its browser session has expired. ## Quick checks - Confirm you can access the system's normal website. - Use the same browser and browser profile as Tabflows. - Check whether the system requires a fresh login or verification step. --- ## Restore the system session 1.
