Thanks for the help @ekzyis. I used lnauth via thunderhub as the ui, running LND via 'mynode'. Mynode has had numerous updates since I began my stacker account and I never had issues. It had been a month or so since I had logged in but once I used thunderhub about a week ago to log in via lnauth, it produces an entirely new account.
Just in case it's helpful, thunderhub provides a text box that you can paste the text for lnauth to open your account. That's what I used. No Qr codes were used. If you can suggest some possible trouble shoots, I'm more than willing to give it a crack. 🤙
