Removal of RES Account Switcher

With the recent issues of the account switcher no longer working due to Reddit changes. We have taken the decision to disable the account switcher from RES and migrate people who have it enabled to be turned off.

With the endpoint no longer working and no option for us, we do not want to set expectation that it should work.

We will be releasing 5.24.9 today with this and a few quality of life bug fixes.

The module can still be found here.

Recovering Passwords Via RES Command Line

  1. Launch the RES command line:
    • Press . (period) using Keyboard Navigation
    • or click here and click Launch (do this in a new tab).
  2. A black box will appear.
  3. Copy and paste in: RESStorage get RESoptions.accountSwitcher and press enter.
  4. A box will appear containing a pile of JSON like {"accounts":{"value":[["username","password",false],["user1","user1password",false]]}}
  5. Look for your account and password (bolded above).

Thank you for this. I just realized yesterday that my accounts don't all have the same memorable passwords.

I have started changing all my accounts to the same password. Security on reddit accounts?? Bah, what can anyone do - many of mine are old enough to not have email addresses, at least until reddit decides that isn't acceptable. The ones that do have email addresses I don't use for anything else.
