Aurora Store anonymous logins are removed indefinitely

More bad news: https://www.reddit.com/r/MicroG/comments/13tnolm/google_began_deleting_accounts_that_use_aurora/ First reports came in today. The accounts that got deleted were solely used with Aurora Store. Still, if you want to be safe, make sure that you only use disposable accounts which are not associated with an important Google account to log in through Aurora Store. Also, it’s a not so friendly reminder to ideally make yourself independent of Google Seems like the kraken has awok...

    Thanks very much for the heads up on this. I try to get most of my apps from F-Droid, but there are a few I still need to get from Google. In a worst case scenario, like if Aurora can’t fix this or there isn’t something else like Yalp (wait…Yalp?) how will I be able to download gplay store apps? I don’t even have a Google account. If I had used Mrs. Swann’s G account and it got deleted, I’d probably have to spend the rest of the morning picking up all my teeth off the floor…

    so far it only seems that it affects burner accounts that people have made specifically to use with Aurora.

      I hope this is the case. As much as I tempted to shrug off the possibility of losing my largely disused google accounts I can never be certain I will never need to recover some old account with gmail or google authenticator that I hadn’t deemed worth the effort to port into keepass.
