Clarify the authentication process #7

Closed AlexanderSalter closed 2 years ago

AlexanderSalter commented 4 years ago

There is unclarity in the note at the end of authorization process. It says that a key stored in accesstoken.cfg but then goes on to refer to the access token that is never mentioned before. It's better to either refer to that as to the key in the second mention or as access token in the first, otherwise it is not clear that we are talking about the same thing. It is also unclear why, if "There is a mechanism in place to renew the key every time MagicMirror2 is restarted", we might need to "just repeat the authorisation process" if "the access token gets to old". This might benefit from further elaboration.

I have just updated the MMM-Instagram2020 module so that it now automates the auth process, it does require Magic Mirror to be in https/ssl mode. I have also updated the readme accordingly.
