Hi all,
unfortunately I had to disable the possibility to login via Twitter with immediate effect.
Without any prior notice, I have received following email just minutes before posting this:
So for an yet undisclosed reason the Twitter App - allowing for this feature to work - has been suspended by Twitter:
Therefore, I had no choice than disabling this feature now.
Impact
There are (luckily) very few users affected from this issue (19 users, to be exact), as most tend using other providers. A different login method needs to be used going forward.
What if I’m affected?
If you are affected, there are following situations:
- If you have configured multiple login providers (e.g. GitHub), please use the respective login provider as your alternative.
- If you do not have other login providers, please reset your password. This will allow you to get access to your account via username and password. Afterwards you can configure a alternative login provider.
If you encounter any issues logging into your account, please let us know (preferably) in the Telegram channel or directly send me an email at patrik+mailcow[at]kernstock[dot]net.
What next?
I have applied for an appeal for the suspension, but I don’t hold up my hopes too much. Even when the app is surprisingly enabled again, I most likely won’t re-enable the login provider. The unreliability is not worth the inconvenience and hassle caused for our forum team and users.
