Cannot log in to site once it is set as private

Hi,

I have just set up a site recently, thanks to the help of Gabrys! :)

I would like to set my site as private though and has come in a little problem. I have set my page as private, and set it to show the page auth:login if user is unauthorized. So far so good.

However, I can't log in once the site is set as private! I currently have two admin accounts and both are members of my site. But when whenever I try logging in, it will say:

Error
Oooops!
This Site is private and accessible only to its members.

Good thing when I was trying that, I was using the accounts from two different computers at the same time. When this happened, one of the accounts was still logged in, and I was able to set it to be public again.

Is this a bug of some sort? It seems that to actually log in, user should already have access to the site first as a member and should be logged in first. But thats a recursive loop…………??!!??

Does anyone know a way around this?

Thanks,
Alex

No one has set their site as private and got it working? Or does everyone set up their site as public?
