Been using and testing Alby Hub and I wasn't aware of a security feature it has which makes sense now. I updated it and rebooted my node today and suddenly lost access to my NWC wallets. Payments were failing on SN connections. My node was up. Channels were working. I have uptime monitoring on my ISP connection so I knew that wasn't an issue.
So, I logged into my Alby Hub interface and suddenly the NWC wallets all started working. After looking through the settings I see that it is possible to avoid this issue if you go to settings/auto-unlock and set it up. But this is a security tradeoff I don't wanna make.
If you're curious go to your settings and read about it.
Just thought I'd share in case others stackers were not aware of this.

Good to know.
iirc when running the update shell script in terminal it does tell you to "please unlock alby now", but I wasn't aware it was that important to do it ASAP

I missed it if it was displayed. I bet it was.

stackers have outlawed this. turn on wild west mode in your /settings to see outlawed content.
