3. I'm taken to a page that says "VPL Electronic Resource Authentication", where I enter my library card number and PIN.
4. I enter my card number and PIN, then press the Authenticate button
5. I'm taken to to a page that says "Your login was successful." I then press the "Continue ➡️"

What I experience:
