Unhandled Activation Error - Internal Server Error

I wanted to sign in from Visual Studio 2015 Community into my Xamarin Account but I am getting the following error:

System.Net.WebException: The remote server returned an error: (500) Internal Server Error.
at System.Net.HttpWebRequest.GetResponse()
at MonoDevelop.Core.Web.RequestHelper.GetResponse(CancellationToken token) in C:\Users\builder\data\lanes\3062\0dd817c0\source\XamarinVS\src\Core\VisualStudio\ProxySupport\Nuget\RequestHelper.cs:line 141
at Xamarin.VisualStudio.Proxy.VisualStudioWebRequestHelper.GetResponse(Func`1 createRequest, Action`1 prepareRequest, CancellationToken token) in C:\Users\builder\data\lanes\3062\0dd817c0\source\XamarinVS\src\Core\VisualStudio\ProxySupport\VisualStudioWebRequestHelper.cs:line 106

at Xamarin.Components.Ide.SSO.Client.<>c__DisplayClass12_0.<CreateTokenAsync>b__0()
at System.Threading.Tasks.Task`1.InnerInvoke()
at System.Threading.Tasks.Task.Execute()

I am getting this error both on my Windows PC and Mac. On both there are no updates available. Some version info:

Do I need to configure some special proxy?

As it turned out the problem was that I had the > and < chars in my password. I puzzled about because I had problems signing in at xamarin.com, but was successful at auth.xamarin.com. Now with my new password without those chars I can sign in without problems at both sites.

(Note: I just logged out and back in so Xamarin's side is working)

You need access to at least the following for "/Applications/Xamarin Studio.app"

From our firewall rules:

xamarin.com Port https (443), Protocol TCP
auth.xamarin.com  Port https (443) Protocol TCP
activation.xamarin.com Port https (443) Protocol (CP
software.xamarin.com (107.20.247.61), Port https (443), Protocol TCP 
*.gravatar.com Port https (443), Protocol TCP 
addins.monodevelop.com Port http (80), Protocol TCP

xamarin.com : Blog page update in the IDE.

auth.xamarin.com activation.xamarin.com Are for logging in to your account and/or getting access/auth for Enterprise edition.**

software.xamarin.com is where updates are checked for and downloaded from .

*.gravatar.com add your avatar to the IDE...

addins.monodevelop.com is where listings, updates and installs for the IDE Add-In(s) are pulled from.

Note: Nugets are a totally different story. :-/

Note: There are more, but I believe I pulled the critical ones...not that Gravators are critical ;-)
