Mac allow WD app in security Fail

Hi there,
I just got My Home Duo and I’m trying to install WD Discovery on my Mac.
My Mac is iMac, Late 2013, 27in, running 10.13.3 which is the most updated system.
After installing WD Discovery, I’m supposed to login and then need to allow WD access in Mac System Preferences - Security&Privacy. I do see the warning from Mac OS asking me to allow WD’s access. I then clicked Allow; but there is no result. The warning still shows at the Security & Privacy page. No matter how many times I click Allow, there is no response.

I restarted the computer. Tried, same problem.
I then uninstalled the WD Discovery and reinstalled again, the problem still exists.

Is this something that has to do with my iMac or is this something related to WD app?

I can successfully login on web and access my file.

Thanks for you help!

#Update: After searching online, I found this to be some bug from Mac end. I clicked Allow many many times and then for some reason it worked. Now I can finally login and use on my Mac.
