# Jetpack JSON API authorization error

 * I’m using 3.0.2 of Jetpack.
 * I have a client app that has been making use of the Jetpack JSON API for quite
   a while – without problem.
    But very recently when I try and authorize a client
   I get an error reporting: “Someone may be trying to trick you into giving them
   access to your site. Or it could be you just encountered a bug :). Either way,
   please close this window.”
 * My client app authorizes just fine against a wordpress.com blog, but not against
   a self-hosted one using the Jetpack JSON API.
 * Any thoughts?
 * Thanks,
    Rob

 * My initial findings point to a problem in Jetpack 3.0.1.
 * I have just removed Jetpack 3.0.2 and installed 3.0.1. My client app can authorize
   correctly against my site now.
 * Obviously this is not ideal, as people using my app against their own sites will
   likely have an up to date version of Jetpack. But the finding should help in 
   tracking down the problem in 3.0.2.
