      Whenever I log into pfSense I get the following alert:
      "CSRF check failed. Your form session may have expired, or you may not have cookies enabled."
      There is a "Try Again" button below the message, and clicking it loads the dashboard page successfully.

      I am using Chrome and have cookies enable.  I have tried different OSs (using Chrome) and both give the same error.  Interestingly, when using a Chrome window in incognito mode it logs in successfully every time.

      Anyone seen this before?

        Nope, and have been using Chrome with pfSense for years.
