[SOLVED] OAuth missing scope error

I am using appwrite cloud, and signing up/ signing in like this

TypeScript

                "github",
                "http://localhost:3000/success.html", // Callback URL for success
                "http://localhost:3000/failure.html", // Callback URL for failure
                []
            );```

And when I do `account.get()` on the success page, it returns this error:
```sdk.js:381     GET https://cloud.appwrite.io/v1/account 401```
```AppwriteException: User (role: guests) missing scope (account)
    at e.Client.<anonymous> ```

also, the user gets added but the no. of registered users remain 0

TL;DR

The user was experiencing an OAuth missing scope error. The solution was to enable all cookies in Chrome settings. There was also confusion about the usage stats, which are being rewritten for clarity. Another user reported a similar issue and the suggestion was made to enable third-party cookies or edit the hosts file for local development. The original user was using Appwrite cloud and encountered an error when attempting to sign up/sign in using GitHub. The error indicated that the user was missing the account scope. The number of registered users also remained at zero. No solution was provided for these additional issues.

You most likely have a 3rd party cookie problem.

You can try searching the internet for how to enable 3rd party cookies.

Otherwise, the easiest thing to do for local development is to edit your hosts file to point app.cloud.appwrite.io to localhost and then use that for your app

I enabled all cookies, and it worked

thanks Steven

Also, could you tell me why registered users are zero (screenshot attached)

How'd you do that and in what browser?

The usage stats are a little confusing. We're rewriting it to be clearer

In chrome, Settings > Cookies and other site data > Allow all cookies
