New install - cannot login with Devolutions account
On a fresh Windows MSI install of v2026.2.0.0 of Powershell Universal, when attempting to login with my Devolutions account it redirects to this URL: http://localhost:60370/rdm-auth-loopback
And fails with "localhost can't currently handle this request. HTTP ERROR 500".
I can complete the setup by creating the local admin user and running unlicensed, but I'd like to have access to the full feature set.

Disregard, looks like I just needed to verify my Devolutions account and I was able to proceed. Thanks for the quick reply.

@mczajkowski Can you do me a favor and look in the PSU log file? It would be in %ProgramData%\PowerShellUniversal\Logs\Service. There should be the error that produced that 500 in the log.
For 2026.2.1, we've put in some additional error handling to better surface things like this that may go wrong.
