Last night’s hack highlighted that we need a way to remove a single account or reauthenticate
If you have multiple accounts, Memmy will allow you to remove one. But if you only have one account, you seemingly can’t remove an account or log out without reinstalling the app.
Came here to say this also to note there is ZERO app feedback that authentication has failed
- Cached feeds and profile posts still load but are old
- Changing password and 2FA and saving does nothing
- Toggling push just hangs
Yeah, this is probably going to confused a bunch of folks who downloaded Memmy from the App Store.
IMHO, this warrants submitting a patch to the AppStore ASAP. I was super confused. Lemmy loaded, but voting and commenting was busted. I thought it was a bug in the app.
Looks like just about all the other third party apps have a terrible experience for failed auth. Mlem, Wefwef, etc. they all kind of shit the bed in weird ways and don’t tell the user what might be wrong or how to resolve the problem.
I had a similar issue but was able to add my Lemmy.world account twice, and remove the first sign in which prompted the app to completely sign me out. It was a weird solution I sort of stumbled into, but made it painfully obvious that we need a sign out option.
Definitely came here to see if I was the only one running into this. I tried to just change the password to what I updated to but it didn’t make a difference in this case. Reinstalling the app and signing in is the way to go for now
It’s not a fix but a little work around if you don’t want to reinstall:
Edit your password and just re-enter it, then tap save. Seems to achieve the same thing as reinstalling to get a new Auth token.
Agree totally with the feedback Re no information on authentication being dropped. A little splash banner or something would suffice, and then the ability to try authenticating with stored creds again
