@ronrozenberg You need to get the cookies out of the Edge browser. You can do it directly from that browser or you can install an add-on such as User-Agent Switcher and Manager for Chrome. When installed, you have to use it to change the browser to Edge and export the cookies. You can do it manually or through another add-on like Cookie-Editor for Chrome.

[ronrozenberg]

Hey, the cookies were extracted from Edge.

[ronrozenberg]

I did extract the cookies from Edge

[cande1gut]

Could be that you are not correctly loading the cookies.

[ronrozenberg]

Well I set up an environment variable (windows) pointing out to the cookies file. Tried to change it, once signed in, once not, once through chrome but still the same error each time.

[WangYijun-OUC]

did u fix that？I still got that problem.

[ronrozenberg]

Nope.

[acheong08]

It won't work from Chrome. Cookies should come from Edge.

[ronrozenberg]

But the cookies are from Edge........

[acheong08]

Hmm that's strange. I have no idea on this one

[acheong08]

Are you signed in to multiple Microsoft accounts?

[acheong08]

Try clearing your cookies and logging in again

[ronrozenberg]

I will try again later and if it doesn't work I will try on a windows vm to see if my computer is the problem

You need to specify your cookie_path in Chatbot such as bot = Chatbot(cookie_path='./cookies.json')

[ronrozenberg]

Thanks that fixed it :D

Same issue for me. I login with Edge again and export a new cookie setting, then copy to the COOKIE_FILE, and it works. All the reasons is cookie information expire, you have to update it manually. Hope it workds for U.

I am having this issue as well, but seemingly at random: I will get the EdgeGPT.NotAllowedToAccess: Sorry, you need to login first to access this service. error, sometimes several times in a row, but then it will work about 1/3 of the time (without making any changes to the cookie file). Any idea what could be causing this? Sorry, I am a very amateur programmer without a lot of experience

[cameronj86]

It seems redundant, but definitely make sure you are logged into your MS acct when you grab the cookie info.

I have a user-agent switcher extension from prior to trick Bing into thinking I was using a Chrome browser when I was using the website instead of the CLI, and didn't force a log-in, so it was easy to overlook.
