I noticed that Jeroba didn’t seem to switch to a different site the way Relay passed through to Reddit so I could log in and link it via OAuth. From that I take it that when I authenticate in Jeroba I’m entrusting it with the cleartext password for my lemmy account which it’s storing on my phone?

I’m sorta okay with that especially for now (eg. alpha) so I proceeded with things but maybe it should be more clear up front that’s what’s happening? And really, any of the other apps could probably have faked that OAuth page anyhow so it’s dubious if you were really trusting the app all that much less in that case.

However, one thing OAuth had going for it was that would make it a lot harder for someone who steals my phone to permanently take control of my Reddit account whereas they could extract my password from Jeroba and use it to take over my lemmy account?
