Heroku login -- unable to verify the first certificate

What this teaches

How to heroku login -- unable to verify the first certificate.

The problem

Issue heroku/cli#2819 (closed, 12 comments): What is the current behavior?

I got the following error and code after using "heroku login" command.

Error: unable to verify the first certificate Code: UNABLETOVERIFYLEAFSIGNATURE

What is the expected behavior? Heroku version: heroku/8.10.0 win32-x64 node-v16.20.2 OS: Windows 11

I have deployed my applications by heroku cli command. So it is the first step to login heroku platform. Please give me a hand and fix this issue. Thanks for your trouble.

What worked (verified answer)

If heroku login fails on Windows with UNABLETOVERIFYLEAFSIGNATURE, check for ESET antivirus: its SSL protection produces an invalid certificate chain for Node apps. The reporter fixed it by uninstalling ESET; milder workarounds discussed in the thread are the ESET settings changes linked there, or running the commands inside WSL.
