What type of hardware are you using: Old laptop or computer
What YunoHost version are you running: 12.0.17 (stable)
What app is this about: Outline + Dex

Describe your issue

I updated Dex (Version 2.41.1~ynh2 => 2.43.1~ynh1) then Outline (0.83.0~ynh1 => 0.84.0~ynh2) and now I Dex doesn’t allow me to log in.
I used to be able to click on “Continue with member (password)”, being shown a prompt where I could log in with my Yunohost credentials and being redirected to Outline.
Now when I click on “Continue with member”, there is no login prompt and no redirection, I can briefly see the following URL in the address bar before being redirected back to the login method choice
“https://outline.XXXXXXXXXXXX.net/auth?response_type=code&redirect_uri=https%3A%2F%2Foutline.XXXXXXXXXXXX.net%2Fauth%2Foidc.callback&scope=openid%20profile%20email&state=XXXXXXXXXXXXX&client_id=Outline”

I am still logged in on another computer and I can still access my documents so I guess the outline update worked (I took the opportunity to export my documents in case I have to reinstall)

I checked Dex logs but nothing seems wrong, there is no errors

I am willing to investigate a bit and help with a fix but I don’t really know where to start.
