It sounds like you’re having trouble logging into the Figma desktop app despite being able to log in through the web. Here are some steps you can try to resolve this issue:

1. Check Your Internet Connection: Ensure that you have a stable internet connection. Sometimes, connectivity issues can prevent the desktop app from logging in.

2. Restart the App: Close the Figma desktop app completely and reopen it. Sometimes, a simple restart can fix login issues.
