Changes to AIP ATProto login settings

The forum has OpenID login via ATProto enabled, powered by AIP. It’s a shared instance so you’ll see auth.smokesignal.events when logging in.

All accounts created here are hard linked to ATProto accounts.

We’ve just flipped the switch on a couple of settings.

  • on login, username, name, and email address are forced to be the same as those for your ATProto account
  • each of those is a separate setting - username is ATProto handle that we do want to keep the same and email is a security feature; name we might want to be editable? give feedback!
  • Usernames are set to max (60 characters) - yes long names will get truncated

Leave a comment and/or write a new post tagged with meta if there are other settings or features you’d find useful here in Discourse.

I have turned off Gravar integration – recommended to set your avatar to what you use for your ATProto profile until AIP gets this as a feature.
