Error on registration: "Unknown auth stage type"

[ghost]

Hi all.

I'm getting an error when registering a new user. This happens with both the riot.im web-based registration page, and also the Riot desktop app (Windows 10). I choose to use my custom server in the process, enter a username and password and then submit. On submission, I get to a page that has a link to 'Start Authentication'. When clicking this link I get the error, which is as follows:

{"errcode":"M_UNKNOWN","error":"Unknown auth stage type"}

I have registration open, but with Captcha disabled.

If I use the Android app, I can register without problem. The issue only exists when using either the web-based riot.im or the Riot desktop application.

Any help is much appreciated.

Looks like you ran into element-hq/element-web#3621 which is an issue with Riot. The fix hasn't made it into a release yet, but if you're comfortable with building the app yourself then building the develop branch is your best bet to fix the issue.

Thank you for letting me know. If it's in development then I'll wait for it to be released, since it's not a big deal for the very small setup I have.
