Issue
Some customers have reported blank login screens when trying to access their Trimble account; usually when trying to log in to SketchUp.
This can produce a page that looks like this:
Email/password fields cannot be seen on the right hand side of the Trimble login page.Cause
This is caused by ad blocking software or plugins preventing Google content loading.
Blocks have been known to be caused by:
- Ad blocking browser plugins
- VPN filters
- DNS filters
- Firewall settings
- PiHole (network ad blockers)
There may be other ad blocking methods which cause the same issues.
Resolution
Disable any filters that are being applied. It may be possible to allow Google based domains only - but this is not guaranteed to work.
Please note: this is an issue with the user's machine or network setup - not a software fault. If this problem is present, it is also likely to cause breaks in other websites and online content.
