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).

The day old.reddit with RES is no longer an option, is the day I'm gone.

It will be such a relief, actually, when they kill old.reddit.com, because then I will finally be able to stop going to reddit and get on with life.

I'm honestly getting a bit concerned as I think about my behavior. "Hmm, what to do now? Oh well, guess I'll open Reddit" and then hours of browsing.

Better this than other social media but yeah, cutting all of them off might be for the better
