Missing authentication prompt when using OAuth to connect to Jira

[Deleted user]

I am following the guide on https://developer.atlassian.com/server/jira/platform/oauth/ to connect a custom application to Jira.

I have reached step 2, where I request a token and get a link back to Jira to authorize my token. But when I open the link in my browser, jira just opens my dashboard and does not ask me to authorize the request.

I am assuming this is some kind of permission problem, but I have really no idea what I need to do to fix this.
