@Flipboard is there a whitelist on which servers it can login to? I can't get it to use my private instance, it doesn't even try to load the login screen. It just immediately says "We are unable to login to this mastodon instance. Please check that the provided hostname is correct."

@sam @Flipboard Hi Sam, an engineer, will look into a solution. I'll follow up with you as soon as I know more.

@FlipboardCS @sam @Flipboard Hi Sam, we received a generic error from your server, not sure why. We've seen this from a few servers large and small. I tried now and got past that screen to the username/password login. Can you try again?

@greg @FlipboardCS @Flipboard I tried again today on a different device and it seemed to work. You should be doing the OAuth2 login through the browser with a protocol handler for the redirect URI or Chrome Custom Tabs callback API to capture the session key, instead of using an embedded webkit view.

Things like 2FA with a hardware security key don't work in embedded web views, and using the browser also lets the user use their existing login session to authorize your app.
