which website are you trying to authorise?

Indiegala.com

I recently redownloaded chrome, not sure if that's the reason, but I've tried restarting my pc, and such.

humble just posted they fall back to old key redeem system because steam doesn't support oauth anymore. gala uses the same stuff, maybe that is already not working and gala just missed to update it.

Only other browser i have is internet explorer, and I can't login to the site with internet explorer because when enterting the CAPTCHA the verfiy or confirm button is greyed out for some reason.

>.> stupid problems lol

IG (just like Humble Bundle) doesn't give you keys. They require you to login to your account, and then they auto claim to your account.

So for now, there's no way for me to claim the games I bought :(

Have to wait until they solve the problem -_-

Alright, so that's the issue. Thanks, let's hope they'll fix it soon :)

Same here... So, trying other browser instead chrome don't work?

Got the same problem, waiting for a solution too.

If Steam has disabled this kind of auth. system, I doubt using other browsers will work.

same problem here, just bought the every monday bundle and cant activate the games, Invalid client_id

I tried logging into GROPEES to chat which needs to link to steam also (not to buy anything just to chat about the IG monday error)

this lead to this terrible error in STEAM, its not in IG or groupees its STEAM
"Invalid client_id when trying to login to Steam through a website "

even when trying to just login to groupees this error pops up as it needs steam,
so now I cant use the Monday bundle and I cant even log in to groupees to talk

anyone know whats up??

I mean this seems truly a VALVE steam issue, not IG or Groupees

elp? kinda freaked since I cant login to anything other than my standard steam account!

Steam removed the OAuth system, or basically the system that let's you login and auto-redeem games on websites and such.

Steam will most likely say they removed it to counter fraud / phishing. In the past there has been numerous cases where people would send you to a site that looks like a Steam login, only for it really to be an easy way to steal your password.
