Log sadly doesn't show any errors, so one Q for you....
Are you using google or facebook login against plex.tv?
See Q8 of: https://github.com/ukdtom/WebTools.bundle/wiki/FAQ
I am not good sir
Just to note I have also tried uninstalling, reinstalling Webtools, and then restarting the server, but to no avail.
For a start, it would be nice if you answered my questions
Without that, I simply can't help

Check my first comment
I repeat, are you using a native plex account, or Google authentication or siml?
I REPEAT, I AM NOT GOOD SIR
I see that WebTools only picks up 127.0.0.1 as the IP Address, and nothing else, which is strange.
What's the IP Address of your Synology box?
Silly question time.
Are you sure you are using the correct credentials to log in with?
You must use the same credentials you use when logging into your Plex server on the NAS, otherwise WebTools will try to login endlessly.
Also, it would probably help if you reboot the modem/router and everything connected to it, including any wireless devices.
That should clear any DNS cache issues that may be preventing you from signing in.
Small Q here....
Are you using Chrome as a browser?
Since just noticed, that latest version fails!
Firefox works nicely though!
Ping
Just came here trying to find out what credentials to use to login. Can confirm logging in with Chrome works fine as of current date.
I use the regular plex log in method of email/password, and ive tried chrome and firefox with no luck.
127.0.0.1 is a loopback address, no int on my network uses it :(
127.0.0.1 is the loopback address of your Synology box.
Normally, WebTools during startup will find the used IP address, but in your case it doesn't
So I repeat my Q: "What's the IP of your Synology" ?
10.0.0.85
So odd, and never ever seen that before, since the IP address is handed over by PMS framework...
But try this:
Browse to : http://10.0.0.85:33400
Attempt to logon, and when the cog starts to spin, notice that the url changes....
Alter it to http://10.0.0.85:33400 and press enter
Does that work?
Nope, it just sends me back to the log in screen
Are you having some kinda antivira/http inscpection tool or plugin running in your browser, and if so, try and disable for a short test
YOU DA MAN, thanks so much to everybody for helping out!
Can I humbly ask, what kinda thing was preventing login?
Hi, I already desactivated my antovirus (AVAST and Windows), I have tried all (Mozilla firefox, Chrome, etc..) and always have the same error: "Wrong username and/or password"
I attach you the log file:

Please, I need your help
The WebTools.bundle is no longer being developed and has been superseded.
I recommend that you try using WebTools-NG instead. WebTools-NG is a standalone program that runs on your PC/Laptop, independent of the Plex program.
You may find the latest release of WebTools-NG (Win/Mac/Linux) here: https://github.com/WebTools-NG/WebTools-NG/releases
