(Erryone get logged out) Addressing login issue

[rusty_shackleford]

There will be a one-time change that will cause everyone to be logged out. I apologize for the inconvenience, this is an attempt to fix a persistent issue with certain legacy users having login issues.

Please let me know if anyone has issues staying logged in after this, thank you.

I expected 2FA when re-logging

To be clear, this was a last resort after a long time of troubleshooting. I don't even know if it will fix the issue.

[Ratcatcher]

Well, was it fixed? Having to login again caused me an immeasurable amount of inconveniences and my day is now ruin. I hope it was worth it, at least.

I never persist the session (aka I always login) which amounts to one button press when opening this site, because I use a proper password manager.

And you should do too.

So you keep a persistent session of your password manager's database open and unencrypted instead? Why would you avoid keeping cookies that keep you logged in, but use a password manager that stays open and doesn't time out and lets you enter passwords with only one button? Reminds me of using LUKS1 with PBKDF2 and TPM to make it easy for authorities to bypass the encryption entirely, or if they don't have someone who knows how to do that, they could crack such a weakly encrypted password automatically in a few minutes without any technical knowledge anyway.

No.

Because it is convenient.

Wrong/Invalid comparison.

Password managers exist for using different passwords across multiple sites, so the leak of one website's DB does not cause your account to be taken over on another website. The local state of the encryption (if there's even one) is completely secondary to the password managers main purpose.

Please be dumb somewhere else.

Full disk encryption protects against accidental discard of sensitive information, which is a common occurrence in organizations.

Jokes on them. My laptop is encrypted with a biometric dick print reader.

If they want to forcibly take my password, then they'll have to grab my penis.
