Subject: Re: [skypeenglish] Skype sign-in focus problem finally identified,
workaround available

I submitted first through Skype itself and then also through the feedback
portal on the Skype website. I did not use the Feedback Hub, both because
that looks like it's more for Windows ingeneral and because I am using an
offline Windows account on this computer.

Now and then over the last few months, I received reports from
people who suddenly got signed out of Skype and could not sign back
in. Invariably, the ultimate complaint was that Tab, Shift+Tab, and
pretty much every key on
the keyboard appeared to do nothing. Here I present some details and
sort of a workaround to the problem.

First, why are people being signed out?

I believe when you switch between two different clients on a single
machine, specifically between the Microsoft Store client and the
Desktop client, you are automatically signed out and must sign in
again. There may also be
cases where changing between Skype versions will cause this, though
that's a guess.

Why does the keyboard stop working?

When the sign-in screen first appears, it works fine. However, if
you mistype a password and sign-in fails, the next screen does not
work. Though I have not determined fully the reason for this, JAWS
becomes confused as to
what is in focus. There appear to be several subcases of this issue;
namely, first screen appearance, after Tab has been used in this
screen one or more times, after Alt+Tab has been used, and possibly
a fourth case after Tab
has been used subsequent to Alt+Tab. It looks possible (though
tricky) to script for this problem, but the problem absolutely
should be fixed in Skype itself and will be far more reliable when
fixed there.

Unfortunately, the only workaround I currently know is to shut down
Skype, such as with Ctrl+Q, bring it up again, and type very
carefully. :-) This works because the first sign-in screen to appear
works properly.

I just submitted via Feedback in Skype itself the following entry:

URGENT: Screen readers can't use the sign-in screen after the first
failed login attempt because they become confused on location of
focus. Steps to reproduce: Sign out, try sign-in with wrong
password, try to sign in again.
Workaround: Unload Skype with Ctrl+Q, relaunch, and make no mistakes
on first attempt.

Here's what  I did.


1. signed into my skype account on different computer, running 8.66. After a few minutes it automatically updated to 8.67, and still worked.


I left it running. Came back to this one and un-installed 8.67.

3. then downloaded the setup from skype.com

4. ran the setup, of course it acted like it was brand new. It stopped at first with nothing as it was before.  The sign in window then opened with account options. This         time it had an additional option to sign in with My MS account. I didn't choose that but instead moved to the armadillo409 accunt o unt. This time it indeead sign in and went through typicall options. Here's a funny thing. The version I'm on right now is version8.67.0.97. The version on the other computer is: 8.67.0.99,

That's honestly the sort of thing that would happen if the password is wrong or changed. Assuming the email address associated with the account still reaches you, you might try a password reset. I don't know why this issue

I just updated to 8.67.0.99 without incident, but mine signs in automatically. Let me know if this one resolves itself; I wonder if it's something like a busy Microsoft server that caused your sign-in to fail temporarily.
