Can`t login, still "Authenticating..:" without effect

[sathishp123]

Moving localhost to first line didn't solve the login issue. Useless piece of software! We can't even login.

@jefft Can you please help?

Yes I had the same issue took me 2 hours to figure out. 

Finally got it. 

Step by step to fix the issue of getting stuck with the Authenticating message: 

Step 1: right Click on finder and click "go to folder"

Step 2: copy paste /private/etc/hosts and click "go"

Step 3: copy "hosts" folder to your deskop

Step 4: Open the folder and Delete all the content in the "hosts" file and past the below: 

##
# Host Database
#
# localhost is used to configure the loopback interface
# when the system is booting. Do not change this entry.
##
127.0.0.1 localhost
255.255.255.255 broadcasthost
::1 localhost
fe80::1%lo0 localhost

Step 5: Safe the folder and copy it Back to the orginal place: /private/etc/hosts and click "Replace"

Step 6: reopen Quick it will work

MY SOLUTION:

I had the same problem, stuck on Authenticating. Tried everything with GoPro support but could not get it to work.

At the end, they said my graphics drivers needing upgrading. I found that hard to believe since my Lenovo Yoga is only 6 months old.

In my case, it was working one day and then suddenly got stuck on Authenticating the next day.

Between these two days I remembered Forticlient did an automatic update.

After UNINSTALLING Forticlient, Quik Desktop is now Authenticating and working fine.
