How To Troubleshoot Ancestry Login Issues On Safari?

It should be easy and convenient to access your family history, however occasionally Safari users have trouble logging in to Ancestry. These problems could be brought on by security preferences, cached data, out-of-date software, or browser settings. 
The good news is that the majority of these issues are easily resolved. This is a comprehensive guide on how to fix Safari's Ancestry login problems.

1. Verify Internet Connection

Ensuring you have a reliable and powerful internet connection is the first step. Timeouts or repeated errors may result from the login procedure being interrupted by weak or unreliable Wi-Fi. If necessary, try restarting your router or moving to a different network.

2. Keep Safari Updated

One of the most frequent causes of login issues is an out-of-date browser. Upgrades for macOS include upgrades for Safari.

⦁   Select System Preferences > Software Update from the Apple Menu.
⦁   To maintain Safari's compatibility with Ancestry's platform, install any available upgrades.

3. Clear Cache, Cookies, and History
Cached and stored cookies can occasionally affect the ability to log in.  To update Safari:

⦁   Navigate to Preferences > Privacy in Safari.
⦁   Choose Manage Website Data > Delete Everything.
⦁   Try logging in again after restarting Safari.

This guarantees that your browsing session will begin clean.

4. Adjust Privacy Settings

Ancestry login may be blocked by Safari's privacy settings.  To correct this:

⦁   Navigate to Preferences > Privacy in Safari.
⦁   Turn off the "Prevent cross-site tracking" option.
⦁   Make sure cookies are permitted.

This will remove any needless limitations from Ancestry's login mechanism.

5. Disable Extensions Temporarily

Login scripts can occasionally be blocked by ad-blockers or privacy plugins.  Turn them off by:

⦁   Navigating to Preferences > Extensions in Safari
⦁   Disabling every extension
⦁   Reentering Ancestry's login

To find the problematic extension, re-enable each one individually if the login process is successful.

6. Reset Saved Login Credentials

Login problems may arise if Safari AutoFill has stored incorrect login information.  To correct this:
⦁   Navigate to Preferences > Passwords in Safari.
⦁   Update your login details and locate Ancestry in the list.

7. Use Private Browsing Mode

Private browsing creates a new session with no cookies or saved information.

⦁   Select New Private Window from the File menu.
⦁   Visit ancestry and attempt to log in.

If this resolves the problem, it is likely connected to cookies or cached data in your primary browser window.

8. Try a Different Browser

If Safari still doesn't work, try Chrome or Firefox instead.  This makes it easier to determine if the problem is account-related or unique to Safari.

9. Contact Ancestry Support

It's time to get in touch with Ancestry Support if you have attempted every step and are still unable to log in. Give specifics like the version of macOS and Safari you are using, as well as any problem messages you may be encountering.

Final Thoughts

Although Safari is a dependable and safe browser, its stringent privacy settings may cause issues with Ancestry and other login pages. The majority of login problems may be promptly fixed by updating Safari, cleaning the cache, modifying settings, and turning off incompatible extensions.
