title: PayPal API login error - "Sorry, we can't log you in.."
body: <p>I am using the paypal api login with this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>paypal.use( ['login'], function (login) {
    login.render ({
      "appid":"myAppID",
      "authend": "sandbox",
      "scopes":"email",
      "containerid":"lippButton",
      "locale":"en-us",
      "returnurl":"myReturnUrl"
    });
  });
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>when I click on lippButton paypal opens with forms for email and password. When they are filled in I get the error:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Sorry, we can't log you in. If you think there's a problem with your
    account, contact us and we'll help resolve it.</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>Even though If I redirect the user to login/complete payment it is fine. Any ideas as to what the problem is?</p>
  
  <p>EDIT: </p>
  
  <p>Seems like it may just be the sandbox api is down. I went here:</p>
  
  <p><a href="https://devtools-paypal.com/guide/openid/php?success=true&amp;env=sandbox" rel="nofollow">https://devtools-paypal.com/guide/openid/php?success=true&amp;env=sandbox</a></p>
  
  <p>and clicked "Try it" then clicked on the link for step 2, which pops up an identical login form that I am using and the error message persists there as well.</p>
  
  <p>EDIT:</p>
  
  <p>Can anyone explain how I can log in to paypal, but not from their sandbox using my paypal credentials?</p>
