Regarding Duolingo password issues, I finally installed it, set up an account with the app (email and password not google account), then reset the app storage to force re-login, and could confirm the issue that it just immediately says “wrong password” and I can’t login again.
I then confirmed that the identical issue existed with LineageOS for microG, so it does not seem related to iodé specifically.
This thread from the /e/ forum confirmed an identical situation and provided the workaround to get past this.
In short, here is how to get logged into the Duolingo app using a microG device:
- From “App Info”, make sure the app is set to “Open in App” all links, and make sure all the links are enabled.
- Issue a reset password request from within the app.
- Copy the full link from the reset password email, and paste into browser address bar. This should prompt you to open the link directly in the app. Proceed with reset in the Duolingo app. Login should now be working on this device.
Extra notes:
- Issuing the reset password request from a browser will not work. If you inspect the tacked on bits to the link sent to your email it is different than when initiated from the browser, and I could not get this link to open in the app (it would only open in the browser).
- Again, this does not seem to be an iodé specific issue as LineageOS for microG and /e/ exhibit identical issues. Instead, it seems about Play Integrity compatibility issues which are at the microG level.
- With this problem and the reset being the only way to work around logging in, it means that unfortunately I don’t see a way you can login to multiple microG (de-Googled) devices. You will have to use the web browser (and make an app link for convenience) on the other devices.
@kestrelfeather, @grmon, @simongreenwood not certain of your current status with Duolingo, but do try the above if you are still unable to login.
