Threema login information #6

Open mfulz opened 2 years ago

I've compiled the pidgin plugin and could basically add a Threema account. But how / what do I need to enter for Username / Password?

hbruintjes commented 2 years ago

Usually, it is your Threema ID for username, the password for a backup string as password, and then in the account settings specify the backup string. You can fetch the backup string from the app. Alternatively you can directly use a hex-encoded version of your private key as the password and leave the backup string blank, but you would have to extract it first.

Ok found it, but still have the following issues:

I've removed thenonces and session PK, because I'm not sure how critical this data is.

Seems Threema has shut the 3rd-party application gateway. You can replace the 'xx' by one of the alternatives, but make sure to uncheck "Use application gateway" in the settings, as those gateways use a slightly different protocol.

Yep it's not working I think, with your suggestions I receive account disabled because you signed in from another location. So I would have to disable it on my phone I guess.

Ok just have to close threema on my phone than it connects. But it is not showing any contacts -> Is this a missing feature or some issue on my side?

In PR #4 some backup import feature was added, but I have never tried that. Automatic import is not supported (if the server even supports that, previously that did not exist). You will have to add them manually as buddies.
