FYI: I had to clear my lemmy.world cookies in order to be able to successfully log back in.
(This was with Firefox)
(Edit: I also shift-clicked reload, which somebody pointed out does clean the cache for that page, so I also cleaned the cache).
Likewise, on Liftoff I had to delete my account and re-login
I had to do the same with chrome. The past week was not enough, so I had to choose to clear all time.
The same thing was required with Vanadium. In the past, issues with the site only required clearing the cache. However, this one requires clearing the cache and cookies.
Clearing cache and cookies alone didn't work for me, the login button just wasn't working after I typed the password in. I ended up doing a password reset, opening the reset link in a private/incognito browser window and choosing a new password, and then my new password worked to log me in with my normal browser window.
I didn't actually clean the cache, only the cookies.
Unless the force reload (i.e. pressing shift + clicking the reload icon) cleans the cache.
I actually tried the most minimal clearing possible (because having to re-login for all the other things in other pages and tabs on the browser is a PITA) and so only cleaned the cookies from the lemmy.world domain and then did a shift-reload of the lemmy.world page only.
Yeah, I think shift + refresh button clears the cache for that page. At least that's my experience with web development
