Hey @ek I set up an attached wallet for this account @NFLsurvivor2024 but every time I log back into it the receiving data is still saved under lighting address but all the NWC data is gone and I have to reconnect it again in order to reply as I have set the desired balance at 0.
Do you know why this is? I don't have this problem with my main account.
Thanks,
GR
Oh, we delete the spending stuff on logout since it’s sensitive data that someone else could use to steal from your wallet if it’s a shared computer. That shouldn’t be the case if you enabled device sync but need to verify.
If you use account switching, you shouldn’t need to logout though. Are you using it?

No I don't use account switching. I open a private window and login to this account from there so I can have both accounts open at the same time. This is especially useful when picks are coming in for pools so I can check periodically and update my spreadsheet without having to log in and out to keep checking or having to wade through 30 comments on a post to find all the picks. This way I can get them as they come it. So I would like to keep this routine.
I guess since it is a private window this will always be an issue unless even if I enable device sync?

Mhh, so I guess if you always received notifications for all accounts, account switching would be more useful to you? I see how the UX is better with tabs instead of clicking on
switch account even though you don't need to log in and out as you mentioned for some reason. Linking @NFLsurvivor2024 once to your main account means that you never1 have to login back again on that device to switch to that account. So maybe it's still better UX in the long term?I guess since it is a private window this will always be an issue unless even if I enable device sync?
No, then they are stored encrypted on the server and can be fetched when you login but you will need to enter your passphrase in the device sync settings to decrypt the wallets on your device. So I guess it's pick your poison with private tabs.
Or maybe we could simply add another setting that prevents the delete on logout 👀

The cookies of switched accounts currently expire in 30 days so if you didn't use the account in that period, you have to authenticate yourself again. ↩

For some reason I thought account switching just meant logging out of current account and into another but if I can switch back and forth without logging in and out constantly that might be workable. Separate tabs would be better but I could probably get used to account switching. I will give it a shot and report back.
