YSK if you can't log in, clearing your site data should help
Everyone got logged out after the recent site hack. For me, when I tried logging in once things were back up, it would tell me I logged in, but I'd actually stay logged out.
I assumed the systems were still just down, but when I noticed others were able to log in and post without issue I tried clearing site data - that let me right in.
In Firefox or Chrome you can do so quickly by clicking the lock to the left side of the address bar.
Figuring I might not be the only one and some stuck-logged-out people may see this.
I had the same problem on Jerboa (android). I had to:
- Long press the app
- Click on: force stop
- Click on: storage
- Click on: clear data
After that, I was able to login again properly.
You're a genius! I was searching all over the Jerboa instance and even the devs didn't know what caused the issue.
Thanks!
I did that and locked myself out of my lemmy.world account because my 2FA token would silently fail :(
Can’t seem to find a “log out” button on Memmy. Cant seem yo find one on WefWef either.
Shouldn’t “log out” be a button under accounts?Memmy has a delete account button. It will do what is needed to logout.
I deleted the app and reinstalled. 'Delete account' is confusing - am I deleting it from the app or from the server entirely? I feel there is could be a better word to describe removing the account from just the app.
Permanently Deleted
I tried that and it didn’t work for me. I ended up adding my account again, now I have two and I’m not sure which to delete but the app is working again!
With Memmy and wefwef it seemed like I was logged in, but apparently I wasn’t. When I logged in once more like I would log in to a different server (but in this case same server name, user, password) it worked fine again.
Thanks
That didn't fix it for me. Firefix is hiding a cookie someplace because Edge logs in just fine.
