I received a report from the Synonym team that slashtags auth on SN was not working on August 7th. I have not been able to fix it after attempting to.
When I reached out for help they let me know they are overhauling their auth system:
We have a new Auth library that works over relays and it will make things significantly easier to use and run - should be coming out soon
If you're only logged in via slashtags, please add another auth method. I don't know when we'll be able to get auth via slashtags working again.

NOOOOO I can't log back in :(

I still have your pubkey on "file" ... if you'd like to recover your account you can maybe ask the synonym team to guide you though signing a message with your privkey.

DHT didn't work? Need to pivot to relays?
How surprising.

This actually makes me wonder if some kind of pinned post for admins might be a good enhancement idea

I can pin this with a database insert. I'll probably do it tomorrow. I'm just being lazy.
If I were smart I'd make this an alert only on accounts with slashtags auth.
