iPhone 16 w/IOS 18 -can’t log into some apps

I’ve seen it with 2 apps so far -American Airlines & Yahoo Fantasy—the issue is when selecting Log In on each app-it then opens up the safari webpage to log in -at that point I’m unable to type anywhere, no keyboard opens up , nothing.


It appears that this issue happens with apps that kick you to a safari website to log in vs apps which you sign in on the actual app if that makes sense.

iPhone 16 w/IOS 18 -can’t log into some apps


One million thank you's sir!!!!

I have been plagued with this anomaly for 9 days now. I have posted on Apple Developer and Microsoft forums and called Microsoft tech support about this horrible issue. I could not install the Microsoft Authenticator or login to anything related to Microsoft on my new iPhone 16 Pro running iOS 18.


Your suggestion/tip below worked like a charm!!!! THANK YOU!


To elaborate a little, as to my specific experience;


Settings > General > scroll down to VPN & Device Management [select]. > VPN [select]. > simply turning off VPN Status will auto reconnect and turn VPN back on. > Select ExpressVPN Lightway [CLICK ON the blue I ] > TURN OFF Connect on demand.


BAM...after 8 days of sheer frustration my Microsoft Authenticator installed perfectly. Prior to this fix I had cleared my browser cache, uninstalled all Microsoft Apps including the Authenticator and Edge. Always upon reinstalling the Authenticator when trying to login I kept getting "Too Many Requests" !!!!


The above solution worked perfectly! thanks for the tip Lawrence! Credit where credit is due.
