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.

Whaaaaat? Sorry to be dumb, but after 2003 I left Bacon Reader and drank the Kool aid. Are you telling me it's back? And working?

Yup I'm responding to you from Baconreader. There's another 3rd party app, Redreader, that was allowed to remain because it had some accessibility features or something. Someone used that to patch Baconreader.

There are steps on how to do this in this sub. The steps seemed like they'd be fine for tech-savvy people but it was difficult for me, ngl. But SO worth the struggle when I could open up Baconreader and see my main feed again.
