Error message trying to use xfinity to authenticate with Max (HBO)

This happens in a Chrome browser. I am logged into xfinity with the primary account. I go to max.com and select to sign in and use xfinity as "connect your provider". It shows a screen that says it has been successful but then ends in a screen that shows the following JSON object:

{

response: "failure",
code: 5116,
status: 401,
detail: "unauthorizedInvalid authentication response from Synacor",
locale: "en-US",
title: "Partner Authentication error",
message: "Unable to complete partner authentication process. Please contact support."

}

What is the solution to this? How can I sign into Max?

I have the same issue. I have tried Google Chrome and FireFox web browsers.

The error has persisted for over 11 hours now

Error:

{"response":"failure","code":5116,"status":401,"detail":"unauthorizedInvalid authentication response from Synacor","locale":"en-US","title":"Partner Authentication error","message":"Unable to complete partner authentication process. Please contact support."}

Same issue. Same error. It occurs both on my laptop and my phone. I was watching Max a few hours ago, but now I cannot log in. Extremely aggravating.
