We have received several reports of readers being unable to log in to LWN.net this morning. It appears to be related to upgrading the NoScript Firefox plugin to version 1.8.1. A new feature, called "Automatic Secure Cookie Management", appears to interact badly with LWN's login code. Some workarounds are described in the FAQ. We apologize for any inconvenience. Update: Peter Palfrader reports that whitelisting lwn.net for "unsafe" https cookies in NoScript Options -> Advanced - HTTPS -> Cookies -> Enable Automatic Secure Cookies Management fixes the issue.
