I'm having a similar error on a Mac. The error is: Error response

Error code: 500

Message: Token exchange failed: <urlopen error [SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed: unable to get local issuer certificate (_ssl.c:1000)>.

Error code explanation: 500 - Server got itself in trouble.

But I didn't get any SSL related errors here, the program was closed when I logged in.
