Especially for those of us who have been on stacker.news a little longer, this is really important. I was lucky enough to to re-gain access with some help from @k00b and @alby support, but based on what I'm hearing, I gather there's some people who have lost access for good.
Here's a quote from Alby:
Lightning Login was implemented in different ways by different wallets. This also adds some problems when attempting to make it a standard. The way Alby implemented it with the custodial accounts was indeed related to the lndhub credentials. This brings two problems: you depend on Alby's for your account since the login is linked to a custodial account. And with newer lndhub credentials, when those are renewed, you will lose the login. only legacy lndhub lightning login accounts could be recovered. But legacy lndhub credentials are somehow a security risk because they do not expire. All of these complications are simply to strongly recommend you to link your stacker news account to additional auth options as stated in the first part of the email.
Here's how to do it:
- Click on your profile name, top right, to drop down the menu.
- Choose Settings in the menu
- At the very bottom of the Settings screen is the Auth Methods section. You can add additional authentication methods such as Nostr, Github, Email, etc.
