Browser Plugins and 'Forbidden Invalid authenticity token' Error
Can browser plugins cause the 'Forbidden Invalid authenticity token' error in Zendesk?
Yes, browser plugins can cause the 'Forbidden Invalid authenticity token' error in Zendesk. Certain privacy-focused plugins, like the DuckDuckGo Privacy Essentials, have been known to interfere with the authentication process, leading to this error.
If you suspect a plugin is causing the issue, try disabling it temporarily and attempt to sign in again. Alternatively, you can try logging in with a different browser or using incognito mode, which often bypasses such plugins. Adjusting the plugin settings to allow Zendesk authentication might also help.
