Logitech users on Mac faced a frustrating issue when the Logi Options+ app stopped working due to an expired security certificate. This problem caused custom buttons, gestures, and scrolling tweaks to stop functioning. The issue was not limited to the Options+ app; it also affected the G Hub software used by gamers.

The problem was specific to macOS because it treats expired certificates as a critical failure. This meant the app couldn't authenticate or run properly. Windows users were unaffected. Some users found a temporary workaround by changing their Mac's system date to January 5, but this was not a permanent solution.

Logitech acknowledged the issue and provided a patch to fix the problem. The company posted a support page with instructions for manually downloading and installing the updated version of the app. The patch restored normal functionality and preserved user settings and customizations.

This incident highlights the importance of keeping security certificates up to date. It also shows how a small oversight can cause significant problems for users. Logitech's quick response helped mitigate the issue, but it serves as a reminder for companies to be vigilant about such details.
