Our users have long been plagued by occasional "stale cookies" on their app dashboards, and unfortunately-short session timeouts in their store accounts. We've spent the past few months re-engineering our SSO layer to address these, and bring the underlying components up-to-date.

Over the past few weeks brave beta-testers have been trialing our "new auth", and it seems like every bug which can be found, has now been found, so we're moving onto mass-adoption!

In the next glowup window for your region, your stack will be migrated to the new auth layer - this will mean that all currently logged in sessions will be invalidated, and the first time you load your dashboard / protected apps again, you'll be prompted to log in with your store account. Depending on browsers / caching, it may take a while for this change to take effect for you, but you can force it with a shift-refresh (on a desktop browser), or by clearing the elfhosted-related cookies from your browser.

If you have login problems after the next glowup, do the following:

• Reproduce the issue in a private browser window (ensuring no stale cookies/sessions are causing the problem)
• If the fault is reproducible in a private browser window, then raise an #elf-help ticket in Discord - you may have discovered a new bug!

Here's to no more stale cookies! 🍪
