First time trying to import my character to POB fork. nothing is working

I was trying to import my character typed in my account name, says that account is private. I go to the website. I uncheck the box with characters private. I press update. I go back to Path of Building Community Fork and it says account is private. then I go to cookies and find the cookie named "POESESSID" and copy paste the content. PoB fork responds with account is private and I put it in the right box the one with "go" next to it. my Path of building is fully updated.
Someone please help

GGG won't answer question about third party software

Also make sure untick both "Set profile as private" AND "Hide Characters tab"

Lastly, right place to ask is https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-forum/gameplay-discussion

Are you a steam user ?? If yes, then PoB will not work for you normaly...

If you are not a steam user, then try this -->

1. Go into "My Account - Edit privacy settings".
2. Select ALL the boxes and click update.
3. REMOVE ALL the boxes and click update.

Now wait 5 minuttes and try PoB again.
