The browser tab reads BioBase is ready. Close it and return to BioBase.
If you don’t finish in the browser in time, or you cancel there, the pane shows “Sign-in did not finish. Try again and approve the request in your browser.” Select Sign in to Infera again. BioBase keeps you signed in between restarts. If your operating system’s credential store is unavailable, the pane shows “Your OS credential store is unavailable. This sign-in lasts only until BioBase closes.” and you sign in again after each restart. To sign out, go to Settings, Data Agent, the Account panel, then Sign out. Signing out removes the sign-in from this device and asks Infera to end its access. To end a device’s access from the web, revoke BioBase under Connected apps in the Infera web app. Next, open your first project.
