Trouble Signing in to IMDb (Browser is Redirecting on Device)

Updated 20-October-2025

If you're having trouble signing in to IMDb - especially on Samsung devices - you may notice your browser switching during sign-in (for example, from Chrome to Samsung Internet). This can cause your sign-in to restart or appear unsuccessful.

Why this happens

Some devices automatically use their default browser to complete secure sign-in. This can cause your sign-in attempt to restart if you begin the process in a different browser.

How to fix it

To sign in successfully:

• Complete sign-in in the browser that opened automatically (It's your device's default browser).
• Or change your default browser to the one you prefer (such as Chrome or Firefox) and then try again.
• Or use the IMDb app (iOS or Android), which will keep your sign-in consistent.

Still having trouble?

If you've followed these steps, and still can't sign in, please use the Contact Us form, and provide your device model and which browsers were involved in the issue (e.g., Chrome → Samsung Internet).
