Tumblr won't remain authenticated. #561

Open AtomicTEM opened 3 months ago

Tumblr won't remain authenticated.

After around a minute after launching the app, Tumblr will not remain authenticated.

Log in, wait around a minute, tumblr disconnects, cannot reconnect.

Unfortunately, this has been an on-again, off-again problem for several years. Search for "authenticate" or "authentication" in the Issues tab of this forum and you'll find multiple posts, some threads having multiple messages and discussion of changes that have been made in the app to try to address the problem.

Same here

I'll close this as duplicate of e.g. #480, #451

MSWallack commented 2 months ago

Given that the issue persists, should the thread be closed?

thomas694 commented 2 months ago

This is a new thread on a topic that already has ongoing threads. Anyone can join these and contribute new information. Do we need a new thread? Then I'll reopen it.

All I know no matter what I do tumblr or twitter, authentication is not working for long. It turns on and then without me doing anything just turns itself off. Thus a lot of blogs cannot be downloaded.

I think I suggested this a while back, but maybe not... Would it be possible to enable a function (optional, presumably) that when the app encounters an authentication error it pauses and then automatically goes through the steps that a user would go through to re-authenticate? Usually, all I have to do is click the Settings button, then the authenticate button, then save. I don't have to actually re-enter my access credentials. So it would seem that if the user doesn't have to re-enter access credentials, the app could essentially run in a macro-like way and just go through the steps to re-authenticate. Does that make sense? Is that possible?

Edit: I'd try it myself, but I haven't written a line of code since about 1989...
