Can't Sign In After April 2, 2019

Hello,

I cannot sign in to Blogger using my gmail account after April 2, 2019 - being redirected to the homepage all the time. I believe it's related to the shutdown of Google+. I can view my blog but cannot go to Blogger to edit it. I was able to sign in before April 2. I do use Google+ in the About Me section of my blog but that should be an easy change after I login to Blogger. Any ideas how to sign in to Blogger after the Google+ shutdown?

Thank you.

Hi,
i had a similar problem last night -> endless loop after i skipped "profile change" screen.

My solution for this problem was to load again this "profile change" page -> enter my "Display Name" -> click "Continue to Blogger" .
It only works if you've used your Google+ profile so far, or if you haven't yet chosen a Display Name for your Blogger profile.

If you are currently not logged in to any of Google's services, you can do it here first: https://accounts.google.com/ServiceLogin

Please everyone, provide the following details, so I can report this to Blogger:
1. What is your blog URL?
2. Were you using a Google+ profile?
3. Are you trying to sign in as an administrator or as an author of the blog?
4. What troubleshooting steps have you tried? Have you tried a different browser, Incognito window, disabling extensions?
5. What happens exactly when you sign in to Blogger
6. Are you having trouble signing in to any other Google products like Gmail, Drive or YouTube?

Thanks for providing more information.

I was having the same problem.  I was able to get around it and change my google + profile on the main page of my blog by clicking the little edit pencil shown on my profile on my blog's page.  Once I reverted to a regular profile, I was able to login to blogger the normal way.  I hope that helps!

Hi Peggy,
 
First method: I did what you mentioned. “Try signing out of Google completely or using an Incognito or Private Browsing window to sign in”
I signed out of google, used incognito to login into blogspot.com, the following page came.

 
I clicked “sign in”  in above page and entered my gmail credentials which took me to the following page.
You suggested-  “Also once you sign in to Blogger, make sure you click your current blog name at top left to see all your blogs”.  Here in above page when I click my name (H SYMBOL) on top right, as usual that “sign out” or “add account” option comes. When I click on top left “Blogger”, the same page repeats.
 
Second method: “If that does not work, enter your blogspot.com URL here:  http://www.blogger.com/forgot.g” But, this takes me to account recovery page which I don’t want to do as I have active account whose id  and  password I am aware of.
 
The following is my blog which I accessed by directly entering the url – “http://hemi-innout.blogspot.com/”.  However, I could only see as a viewer and there are no provision to view it and edit as author. (I am the only owner of the blog, it is not a shared account.)
IS THERE ANY OTHER WAY OUT TO ACCESS MY BLOGS AS AUTHOR?
Hema Latha: from the screenshots you posted for First Method" you are signed into a Google account with a Blogger account that has no blogs.
 
Please try the second method again:
If that does not work, enter your blogspot.com URL here:  http://www.blogger.com/forgot.g” 
 
Note the email address that the recovery message is sent to. That is the email you need to use to sign in to Blogger. (Check to see if the Blogger email is being forwarded from a different email address too)

Hello:

Since the Catalina update, the looping problem has now started on my computers, and I can't comment or sign into my blog.

Thank you for any help.

Hi Peggy,
I did as you said “Please try the second method again:
If that does not work, enter your blogspot.com URL here:  http://www.blogger.com/forgot.g” 
” I clicked the above URL, which lead me to the following page.
There I entered my blog’s URL and said look up. It lead to this.
Then it said, Account recovery, asking for my mail id and password, then I entered my gmail details ( I have only one gmail account). Then I received a mail as below.

Now, even after this, I do not see any difference. When I go to blogger after entering gmail or vice versa, it say the same –“create new blog”.
Hema Latha: after entering your blog URL, did you receive the account recovery email at the expected Gmail address?  If so, check the email's headers to make sure it's wasn't forwarded from one of your other email accounts.

If you did not receive the Blogger account recovery email, you need to find which Gmail account received it, then sign in with that email.

Hi,
Yes I have received a account recovery mail. checked its header, it came from google only and not from any of my other emails. Even after that also, nothing changed in regards to blogs.
Hema Latha: can you find the email from Blogger after submimtting http://www.blogger.com/forgot.g? That is what would confirm you are signing in to the correct account.
