Cannot login #85

Closed AlanVerbner closed 9 years ago

AlanVerbner commented 9 years ago

I'm trying to login using my HN credentials and it always returns "Cannot login".

I've already checked my credentials against HN site
My cellphone internet connection is working ok
I've installed version 2.1.6

Is this happening to someone else?

Thanks Alan, I'm seeing the same thing. Login is currently broken. Hopefully it isn't too hard to fix and I can look & fix it later today.

Same issue, I've tried every HN client on the appstore and all have the same problem, maybe hn changed some of their api. What's does this app uses? Plain cookie sessions? Thanks

Thanks for the reminder, I've pushed the fix (https://github.com/bishopmatthew/HackerNews/commit/f692791d83e7e578398b24c51ba22f45d68e52d9) & it's going out on the Play Store now.

Yeah, it's just a user cookie that gets set when you login. They renamed some of the fields you have to send as part of the login form.

Awesome! Thank you very much for this
