Q: URL to log in to the main Church website?

Hello All,

A while back, I had saved a bookmark for a URL which would take me to the Church main website (churchofjesuschrist.org) and prompt me to log in if I wasn't already logged in.
Things have changed a lot with the SSO login procedures and that URL doesn't work, and I can't figure out one which does.

Can any one give me a URL which will do the following:
1) If I am not logged in, take me to the login page, then take me to the main churchofjesuschrist.org page
2) If I am already logged in, it would go directly to churchofjesuschrist.org

I know I can use something like directory.churchofjesuschrist.org and it will take me to the login page, but it drops me to the directory and I want the equivalent for the main page.

Thanks! - Steven

I got the URL by signing out, then inspecting the "Sign In" link in the My Account menu (using the browser inspector).

Unfortunately, if you are already logged in, that will still take you to the login screen, and worse, it will log you out in the process. Sorry, I don't know the correct answer.
So we can better help you, please edit your Profile to include your general location.

For me, in an already signed-in state, it did take me to the sign-in screen briefly, but then redirected me back to the Church home page – and I was still signed in (for example, I tried accessing Notes and I didn't need to sign in again).

Yeah, it's working for me now both in Firefox and Chrome. Weird.

That worked for me in both browsers. I see that that's the URL from the "Dashboard" selection on the home page drop-down menu.

It must not love you.

What happens if you log in, click on the person icon at the right of the menu, and then choose Dashboard?

I was getting a blank page going that route, too. I finally cleared my cookies for the Church website again and it started working.
