(Feature Request/Question) Creating new accounts #407

Closed giozucca closed 1 year ago

giozucca commented 1 year ago

My question is: are there a finite number of accounts, and will it be an issue eventually if demand is too high? If thee answer to the previous question is yes, how about a script that users can run to create new accounts under different IP addresses and send them back to this repository or somewhere they can be collected and added to the list of usable accounts.

Hi, the extension works pretty much the same way you suggested.

1.The extension determines that you are on Quizlet

  1. It makes a new account in the background simulating the user signing in
  2. Then it logs in and gets new session cookies

  3. Finally, it replaces existing cookies with the new ones

    This way you always have a new account to see textbook solutions (because that's the only thing unlocked by this extension). Please note that we don't have to worry about IP blacklisting because account creation happens on the user's computer with his own IP address.
