The above error went away after I set up a master key in Alby (which I had resisted for a long time). I logged out and logged back in successfully.

So I don't think the issue is on our end as far as I can detect.

How are you logging with alby? I'm using the extension on Brave. I copy the lnurl, then put it in the send field.

Thanks for your help. I have the same experience - after setting up the master key in Alby, I was finally able to login to Stacker News, via the login via lightning.

HOWEVER it's logging me into a new account, not the account that I've been using (that it looks like only works now on my phone).

I must not be understanding something with how identity management works with Alby...

I think you need to migrate to continue using the same lnurl-auth:

Thanks, I'm going down that path now.

Fixed! The Alby terminology is confusing around identity, but after doing the master key thing, and after some help from support, it's working.

Is there a way to add a nostr login to an existing stacker.news account? The lightning login seems a little iffy.

Yeah, go to your settings at the bottom

Ah, perfect: "Please add a second auth method to avoid losing access to your account."

I will definitely do this, the whole episode of not being able to login was scary. I value this account!
