Funny. Looks like it has been added on purpose: https://github.com/getAlby/lightning-browser-extension/pull/478/files#diff-f247f31b0ca73e2fd79cfa8c84593a2fdd8e7e49ac46de7ba6470e5e6c883c90R62-R68 The word "config" is clickable and leads you to the welcome screen so you could re-add your wallet and set a new password. But no user will understand this :)

We could i.e.:

• Reword it to "Re-add my account"
• Instead of a clickable string make it i.e. a button or a link so the user sees it's clickable

@AnastasiaVolk @bumi @dvoroneca what do you think?

[AnastasiaVolk]

@escapedcat yeap, for sure the user needs to see that it is clickable, then it will make sense! And maybe reword as well)

[dvoroneca]

I've also seen this and it is addressed in the pop up log in variations in designs

[escapedcat]

Let's go with this for now if someone wants to tackle this:

• Reword it to "Re-add my account"
• Instead of a clickable string make it i.e. a button or a link so the user sees it's clickable

Just a link will probably be easier.

If nobody grabs this we will tackle this with the new design later on.

This is basically there since the first lines of Alby. It never was changed because not enough people complained about it and because it is a bit more tricky to get it right:

The user sees this when they forgot the password. Then the question is: what to do? There is no password recovery because all data is stored locally, encrypted. Should this link completely reset Alby? Should it delete the stored, encrypted account?

We can change the text there, but the bigger problem is to define the flow when a user forgot the password.

Here is a suggestion:

in the case the user lost the password: We warn the user, then delete the user's accounts and link the user again to the onboarding.

As text we use a link "Forgot password" that opens a modal with explanation and then the reset button.

what do you think?

@pooniajay can write an entry in the guide about the Lost Password situation to which we link to?

[AnastasiaVolk]

Cool. That will be a new script for test case as well (added on Wiki)

[bumi]

we now have a different message and allow the user to reset their accoutns
