    Hey ​@ht1993, thanks for reaching out and sorry for the trouble!

    Since the plugin loads its start screen but nothing happens when you click login, a couple of things are worth checking:

    • An alternate browser or incognito window with extensions disabled, in case something's blocking the login popup. Our supported browsers are Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge. And it's worth confirming pop-ups and third-party cookies are allowed for figma.com.
    • A different internet connection (Wi-Fi or mobile hotspot). Corporate networks sometimes block the domain a plugin needs to reach for login even though the plugin itself loads fine. The plugin's Community page lists the specific domains it needs, if you want to check with your IT team.
    • Testing in both the Figma desktop app and a browser tab, if you haven't already, to see if it's specific to one.

     

    Since this plugin is built and maintained by Linear rather than by us, if none of that gets you unstuck, their team is best placed to look into the login flow itself. You'll find their support contact (Support: support@linear.app) and their social links on the plugin's Community page: https://www.figma.com/files/787077236908093158/resources/community/plugin/1221187540287746170?q_id=d65eb024-907f-46a2-8722-43f1d1c046f3

     

    Let me know how those checks go!
