Workaround:
If you encounter the can't login issue modify the realtime section in ~/MyDocs/.waze/data/preferences.ini to look as follows
If you are in US

Code:

[Realtime]
Web-Service%20Secure%20Enabled=no
Web-Service%20Secured%20Address%20Resolved=https://www.waze.com:443/rtserver/rtserver
Web-Service%20Secured%20Address=https://www.waze.com:443/rtserver/rtserver
SecuredOfflineTarget=https://wudworld.waze.com:443/rtserver/upload/upload_wud.php
OfflineTarget=http://79.125.10.114:80/rtserver/upload/upload_wud.php
Web-Service%20Address=http://www.waze.com:80/rtserver/rtserver

If you are in the rest of the world

Code:

[Realtime]
Web-Service%20Secure%20Enabled=no
Web-Service%20Secured%20Address%20Resolved=https://world.waze.com:443/rtserver/rtserver
