✅ Mobile Login Issue - Fixed & Ready to Test
What Was Done
1. Enhanced Error Detection
The login page now automatically checks for common issues when it loads:
- ✅ CryptoJS encryption library availability
- ✅ localStorage accessibility
- ✅ sessionStorage accessibility
- ⚠️ Shows orange warning banner if any issues detected
2. Better Error Messages
Changed from generic errors to specific, actionable messages:
- Before: "An error occurred during login"
- After: "Storage error: Please ensure cookies/storage is enabled and not in private browsing mode"
3. Added Debug Logging
Console now shows detailed information:
- Username/password match status
- Hash comparison results
- Storage operation success/failure
- Session ID creation
4. Storage Verification
The code now verifies that sessionStorage operations actually succeed:
sessionStorage.setItem("authenticated", "true");
// Verify it worked
const verify = sessionStorage.getItem("authenticated");
if (verify !== "true") {
throw new Error("sessionStorage failed");
}
5. Created Diagnostic Tool
New page: /mobile-login-debug.html
- Tests all system capabilities
- Simulates login process
- Shows exact failure points
- Works on any device
