Lemmy.world was already running a version with this security patch but indeed that's also in 0.18.2!

Anyone using Liftoff - if you can't log in, or keep getting logged out, remove and re-add your account:

Settings from top right

Accounts

Long press the account

Click Remove

Then add the account again

Fwiw, I skipped to the last step and it worked. Didn't have to remove the account, re-adding the existing account still worked

That’s a top tip! I’ll update our instructions to our users. Thanks!

Works on one phone, not on the second one. So weird.

Update seems to be running pretty smooth, but (and maybe I missed it) I think it would be super awesome if you put up a banner ahead of time letting people know you are doing a maintenance or update or something at X:00 pm EST or something.

To suddenly settle down and log in to post and support the platform only to be hit with a shit ton of confusing issues, then everyone posting about the same issues, then getting an update about what happened that caused the issues after the fact is less than ideal.

Again, maybe y'all did and I missed it, but a little banner with a heads up would be...

Unrelated but are you the same Antik that has graffiti all over Amsterdam?

No but I saw them too! I considered it a tribute, so thanks whatever his tagname is! 😁

Haha that’s great! Their tag is one of the most common all over Amsterdam. I’ve no idea if they’re a single person or a group though.

Oh, so that's what was logging me out. I cleared cookies, but it kept happening. Cheers.

Good. These growing pains are a sign that we’re gathering steam. Best part is, with alt accounts on other fedded sites we no longer have to do something else during downtime.

kbin.social

Still broken for me. I'm seeing a 400 on the unread_count request after login. After the login page refreshes the page still asks me to log in again.

edit: workaround is to manually clear your cookies for the site and try again

Can confirm. Clearing cookies on Edge browser on Windows 11 fixed the login issue.

I just saw the update show up. Looks great. Seems to be running much smoother than the past couple days. Thank you LemmyOps team

Should it have logged folks out as a means to help resolve the login issues? I honestly couldn't tell because when I went away before this update, I was experiencing the issue and came back to it logged out, thinking it was a continuation of the issue till I saw this post...But then it left me asking this.

If you're still having issues just try logging in and out again.

I'm not now, but I was wondering if the update may have logged people out to help with that, or if that may have just been a coincidence.

Huh, why is it not a release on Github, the tag is there but no release.

I noticed that last night as well. I saw lemmy.ml was updated to 18.2, so I thought, fuck it, and I updated my instance.

1

I assume this is not the same meaning as in the UK!

More seriously, great work!

I was logged out again and I thought my account had been hijacked.

What a spook I got

lemmy.world

It works in browser, but Jerboa won't show subscribed for me?

3

Hm. I am still getting logged out, both on the website in Chrome and on my mobile app mlem.

feddit.it

Not for me. I keep failing to login with my lemmy.world account because the token generated by Authy for 2FA is not recognized 🙁

Thank you. I see you turned off 2FA to make it work. It does not work yet?

3

I was able to access my account. I've tried activating 2FA again and I've tried logging in from another browser to see if it works, but it doesn't work even if I reset my password

I had to leave lemmy.world and join aussie.zone

Everything works. Hope aussie.zone admin helps lemmy.world to fix all their issues.
