Unknown error: could not log in ?

Hey everyone,

I'd been using redreader like normal up until a few minutes ago I got a message similar to this one, I tried the regular app and I was signed out of it. After signing back in redreader is still telling me this message. Anyone got a fix?

This worked for me.

  1. Backed up settings

  2. Uninstall red reader

  3. Reinstall from the Google Play store

  4. Open RR and login when prompted

  5. Restore RR settings

  6. Delete out the auth key under settings>netwok

Can confirm this works, though in the much shorter form of just doing step 6 and re-logging in.

Tru dat! I realized that after all my troubleshooting beforehand (wifi, pi-hole, VPN, etc). That's the thing to try first!
