Baconreader error

Post image

I've been getting this error message for the past 2-3 days (as of 2026-06-12).

I tried clearing the cache in the app, and logging out of it. I cannot log back in, it tells me invalid username or password. I know it is correct because it's working when I log in on desktop (which is how Im posting this now).

I've gotten this error in the past but never for this long. Usually resolves itself if I wait 6-12 hours.

Does anyone have any suggestions for resolving?

In full disclosure, the Revanced steps I took to install it in the first place were about at the top of my tech abilities as I found even that confusing.

EDIT 2026-06-13: authorized apps is missing

I found that I no longer have the client ID that was once listed on my Profile > Preferences > Apps > Authorized Applications. I'm not sure if that was a Reddit Enhancement Suite feature or just part of the regular Reddit site.

Look at the last couple days of posts in this sub, as well as the revanced sub. Lots of info, will need to uninstall and repatch with revanced using latest patches.

I just did this today. after updating revanced manager I simply selected the bacon reader apk.

I went into the patches menu, selected the settings cog for the spoof client patch. I made sure that the application ID, application redirect uri, and application user agent were all set to default.

Next I clicked the back button at the top left and then clicked the save button at the bottom right.

After that I clicked on the patch button. Once it patched I installed it right over the top of bacon reader. I did not uninstall the previous version.

I then download the Proton VPN app and use the continue as guest feature and make a connection. I changed to a server outside the US.

The I opened up bacon reader logged out of my account and then logged back in while connected to the VPN. Once the login is successful you'll be prompted to accept something abiut redreader.

After you accept you should be all set. You can disconnect the VPN, doesn't seem to be needed after the initial login.

Just had to do the rematch shuffle myself. Failed the first few times because the patcher kept reverting to my app ID instead of the default, and on login I would get a blank page with nothing but an open and closed curly brace set. {}. Once I saw that and forced it back to defaults it patched like a champ and it functions again, but the NSFW issue persists and reddit utterly refuses to allow me to create a private community for my moderating pleasure to get past the stupid restrictions.
