Pinterest says "Session mismatch — try connecting again"
Pinterest finished in a different browser, a different tab or more than 10 minutes later than the one you started in. Start again in one browser.
Session mismatch — try connecting again shows when Pinterest sends you back to EverySqueeze in a browser that didn't start the connection. Nothing was connected and nothing changed. It is not caused by the Chrome extension.
Why it happens
When you press Connect Pinterest, the browser you pressed it in remembers the request for 10 minutes. The answer from Pinterest has to come back to that same browser within that time. It doesn't when:
- you approved on Pinterest more than 10 minutes after pressing Connect Pinterest;
- Pinterest opened in another browser or app (on a phone, the Pinterest app or the browser built into another app) and sent you back to a different browser;
- you pressed Connect Pinterest again in another tab and then approved the first one;
- the browser blocks cookies for everysqueeze.com, or it is a Private tab that was closed in between.
What to do
- Use a computer if you can, in the browser where you're signed in to EverySqueeze (not a Private tab).
- Open Settings → Accounts & platforms and press Connect Pinterest once.
- Approve on Pinterest in the tab that opens, right away.
- You land back in Settings with Pinterest connected. Then set up your boards: see Pinterest boards.
On a phone, start from the EverySqueeze app's Settings and finish in the same place it opens; if Pinterest jumps to its own app, finish on a computer instead.
