Fordpass not logging in
So i went to bring up Fordpass, it asked me to login, I enter my creds, sorry, not recognized! WTF? So I go online to fordpass, and logged in just fine. Went back to the app, still can't log in and it is redirected TO Login.Ford.com, via the browser.
Catch this, try to go to login.ford.com via Firefox,
Wait, what? How can it be on my phone, yet not on the webs? Even tried to update the app, no good.

The resource you are looking for has been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable.

Try changing your Internet connection - if on wifi, disable it so you are on cellular data only, and if on cellular connect to an available wifi to rule out ISP issues like DNS hijacking and routing.
If on Android, try clearing app cache and app data.
When I have seen apps behave similarly, it is because they are holding on to an internet endpoint behind some sort of proxy, and that endpoint is no longer available (think of a bunch of app servers in a pool or region of servers that are down. Contacting the resource pool by name should have the WAF or load balancer direct the request to a different endpoint, but your client just keeps trying to go back to a previous static endpoint value).

Weird. My password works on my computer, but not on the app so wound up having to reset the password, now it connects. It's not like I was typing it in differently, it worked on PC, but not phone.
