Heads up that we’ve bumped the UI up to 0.18.2-rc.1, which should resolve the current exploit that was seen on lemmy.world.
We’ve also logged out all currently logged in users as part of it, so you’ll need to login again.
Thanks for all your hard work, admin team.
I was having trouble figuring out how to sign out and back in with mlemmy. Did it work?
Edit: looks like yes. For anyone else having this problem, I went to the profile button, opened the gear in the top right corner, then “accounts” -> “edit account” then didn’t change anything and just hit “save.” It must have worked to log me out and back in.
Fail fast, fail often. They have handled the issue like bosses. This project is going places.
Thank you for your hard work.
Very impressive incident response and patch turnaround time – Kudos to the admins, devs, and sysadmins!!
For anyone having issues logging into Jerboa, I had to clear my cache before it would work.
The comment I was looking for!
That explains why I had to sign in again. I was thinking it was a bug in the Connect app. Good to know it wasn’t.
Ah so that’s why Connect for Lemmy was unable to display my frontpage despite being “logged in”. Signin out of the account and signing back in fixed it
Same problem on Memmy. Signed out than back in, everything worked properly.
There was an exploit?! Where, what?

Thanks for doing that. I was wondering why my multiple Lemmy apps weren’t loading my account. Then saw the news.
I appreciate you going ahead and logging out all users anyway. Just needed to remove and add accounts again in the various apps (using so many until one feels like the best for me!). But thanks for taking those steps!
I went looking to re-attempt 2FA setup. After enabling it in the options, the link that for 0.18.0 would trigger an event to add it to AndOTP (instead of just providing the secret) isn’t showing up at all. (If that makes any sense in my current decaffeinated state)
Yeah, it’s not my primary, I just happen to still have it installed.
I’ll take a look in a bit but might be a new bug.
Edit: I can see the link just fine, even without deactivating it first. Can you try clearing your browser cache?
Weird, opening in my browser now, it’s there. (And I’ve finally figured out how to make bitwarden handle sha256.) In any case, I’m all good and properly using 2FA.
It’s currently a little awkward, after you enable + save the first time you need to refresh the page in order to see the button which contains the otpauth:// link.
Same. Click the link button and nothing happens.
The link starts with
otpauth://, which will likely do nothing on desktop. Either click on it from a mobile device, or on desktop you can use an addon like Offline QR Code Generator (Firefox), then right-click the link and select QR code from link. This will show a QR code you’ll be able to enroll in any TOTP app. Hopefully they’ll add an option to display a QR code when using the desktop interface in newer versions of Lemmy.Can I copy the link it generates and put it directly into my app that handles 2FA? (1password). Thought about trying it, but I didn’t see any recovery codes and am not keen on getting locked out.
This worked for me in Bitwarden: note since Lemmy 2FA uses SHA256 you have to copy/paste the entire link and not just the secret token. If you copy/paste just the secret token most password managers with TOTP generation have it defaulted to SHA1.
Good shit. Appreciate ya.
Worth noting that turning on 2FA doesn’t log you out of your current session so you have the opportunity to turn it back off again if you can’t copy it over in this way.
Thanks Shadow!
Thank you admin team!

Just FYI I had to delete data on Jerboa before I could vote and write comments, otherwise it just logged me out again.
Yup just did similar excersise. Jerboa was getting confused until I unintentionally removed my old account.
Readding then worked like a charm.
