Annoying Popup saying "authentication required"! How do I resolve this?
-
I utilise the Moz bar quite rigourously as a content marketer but i'm having an annoying popup every second. Moz kept bugging me with a popup bar saying: "authentication required" asking me to input my username & password. Though filling it in correctly, it keeps bugging me every second. Sometimes even when I have disabled the toolbar it keeps poping up! How to resolve this?

Hey there!
Our engineers have worked their magic, and we have actually just rolled out a brand new version of the MozBar - you can download it here. It's also recommended to clear your cache & cookies upon reinstalling. So far, we've had reports of great success - if you're still running into trouble after downloading the new version, please pop a message over to help@moz.com so we can collect some details from you about exactly what you're seeing:)

Hi,
I have the same problem and it's the same even after uninstalling and reinstalling the MozBar.

I was having this before the weekend. Every new page I visit, Mozbar would give me a captcha. As much as I enjoy picking out all the bicycle photos from the grid, it's not so fun when it pops up for every new page....

Hey there!
Sam from Moz's Help Team here.
Sorry to hear about the problems you're running into with the MozBar:(. We have been experiencing some troubles with the tool, and have updated our Health Page to reflect this. Our engineers are working a complete overhaul on the back end to resolve the issues people have been seeing.
A few issues similar to the one you've mentioned have been resolved by uninstalling and reinstalling the MozBar - could you give this a shot to see if it helps?
If not, we'd love to collect some information from you and some screenshots of exactly what you're seeing (every little piece of info helps), so could you send over a message to help@moz.com if the uninstall/reinstall isn't effective?

What does "Optimal Use of Keywords in Header Tags" really mean?
I get this explanation on the grader: Although using targeted keywords in H1 tags on your page does not directly correlate to high rankings, it does appear to provide some slight value. It's also considered a best practice for accessibility and helps potential visitors determine your page's content, so we recommend it. Over-using keywords, however, can be perceived as keyword stuffing (a form of search engine spam) and can negatively impact rankings, so use keywords in H1 tags two or fewer times. To adhere to best practices in Google News and Bing News, headlines should contain the relevant keyword target and be treated with the same importance as title tags. But I have the keyword in an H1 tag, only once. So why am getting this message on the grader? The URL is https://www.armsecuritysystems.com/business-security-systems/ The keyword is "business security systems" Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Moz says "Title Too Long", Yoast says title is the perfect length. Who's right?
For a bunch of my pages, the MOZ Crawl Report says "Title Too Long". Yoast on my site tells me that the titles are the correct length. How can these two things be at odds with each other? Which one is right?

Www and non www / duplicate content / redirects / www resolve issue
I am not getting docked for these specific errors, but I am getting docked for 1 page has a WWW resolve issue and 1 wrong URL in the sitemap... (SEM Rush) but when I use moz, it's not showing any issues. So I have these things set up so far: In .htaccess i have a command that removes the www. 301 redirect from www version to the non www (homepage) canonical on index.html pointing to non www version, I also set up a canonical tag for each page on the site search console with non www, www, https www, https non www all set to non www preference. Also, when I fetch the www version in google search console it says it's being 301 redirected to non www version which is basically what I want.Is there anything that i'm missing? These errors on SEM Rush are giving me anxiety lol.

Keyword Difficulty Popup
This evening, when using Chrome and the Moz toolbar, I noticed something new - a "keyword difficulty" popup appeared below and to the left of the window in which I typed my search term. It took about 20 seconds to populate, but eventually it changed color and displayed a percentage score. Is this something new you guys are testing?

Google Analytics keeps disconnecting, requires "Reauthorization"
I have many campaigns connected to our Google Analytics account (all websites in same GA account) but I keep getting the message "Our connection to your Google Analytics account was lost. Don't worry, you won't lose any data. Please reauthorize now.". I go through the motions of "reauthorizing" and it tells me I'm successful. Minutes later it gives me the same message. I even keep my GA account logged in on the same computer, trying to avoid this. As a result, I'm not getting my Analytics data in my campaign. Help!

Since the revised website was launched, I can't find the "Crawl Test" function showing Titles and Descriptions of other websites. Anyone know where that link is located?
MOZ can "crawl" any website and show information like Title, Description, etc.....Can't find that link.
