Garmin Connect not syncing with My Fitness Pal

I recently upgraded from a Forerunner 210 to a Fenix 5s. I am trying to sync my Garmin Connect account with My Fitness Pal. When I press the sync button on the Dashboard, it tells me "Just a minute. We're syncing your accounts." It seems to freeze there and never actually sync. Any ideas?

    Have you tried to "unlink" or "unauthorize" and then "relink" or "authorize" again after the change in equipment? I've had to do that a few times for Garmin and MyFitnessPal. Just a thought....

    EFD - thanks for the suggestion. I had not previously had MFP and Garmin connected, so this was the first time I was linking them. When I look at MFP, It does not show the accounts as linked.

    I'm having the same problem, where they weren't syncing. I delinked my MyFitnessPal and Garmin Connect accounts, but not I can't relink them. Most of what I've read says not to delink the accounts when you have syncing issues, but I had to try something after reaching out to both Garmin support and MyFitnessPal with now real response.

    Will add my voice to this as I'm having the same issue too. Echo BTTurner's experience - had almost identical issues. Does anyone know if this forum is read by someone at Garmin or are we just talking in to a vacuum? Anyone contacted MFP help? My next step (cover all bases).......

    Same here. Connect says it is now connected with MFP and is syncing. Never finishes. MFP still says it is not connected to Garmin. Garmin please help...

    Same problem here.
    I have the message: "Syc not possible try later."

    I had to disable my ad blocker to get the second authentication screen to pop up. Interestingly enough it would NOT work in Firefox even with ad blocking disabled. But Chrome worked.

    Deactivate all ad blockers. I just removed them and a pop-up window opened asking me to allow Garmin to harvest data from MyFitnessPal. That helped to resolve the issue and they connected

    Spot on advice. Removed ad blockers, refreshed the page, clicked sync with My Fitness Pal again and it worked like a charm. Thank you :-)
