Authentication problems

Sign-in and session issues.

  • Google sign-in loops back to the login screen — check that your system clock is accurate; OAuth token exchange fails on a significantly skewed clock.
  • Session expired unexpectedly — sign out and back in; sessions are refreshed automatically under normal use.

How it works

What you see

  • What to check for common situations: sign-in, commands, installs, PATH, connections, usage limits, payments, previews and builds.
  • What PawOS already checks for you, and what to gather before trying again.

What PawOS does

  • PawOS reports problems in the task view, Work Records, connection status and check results.
  • For commands, installs, builds and tests it shows the real output.

Permissions

  • Never bypass permission questions or run unsafe commands to get past a problem.
  • If a plan, connection permission, local permission or administrator approval is missing, retrying won’t help until that changes.

Records

  • Useful details: the task, what it was doing, the command and its result, file paths, check results, and a screenshot if something looks wrong.

Good to know

  • Some fixes happen outside PawOS — in a service’s dashboard, your system settings or your account.
