Does Amber not support logout? \ stacker news ~nostr

I just tested our NIP-46 login with Amber. Signup works but login doesn't. It fails with already connected which I think is a response from the signer.

That surprises me since Amber seems to be a pretty popular signer app. But apparently, once you logout, there's no way to get back into your account. Is that true?

Here's a copy of my last comment in that ticket:

I tested this today with Amber v3.2.6-free. Signup works but login fails with error 'already connected.'

I am pretty sure this error comes from Amber. It doesn't allow you to reuse a connection with a new secret. It mentions this:

But I don't think we are doing anything wrong since signup+login works flawlessly with nak and nsec.app. Amber should allow you to reuse a connection with a new secret. However, it seems to think that you connect to apps once so once you logout, there's no way to get back into your account with Amber.

This is at least my current understanding.

Re: no way. I think I created a new bunker manually and then connected through that to reconnect.

So you have to do that every time you want to log back in?

I think so, yes. But maybe I've just not done it right and there's a feature that I have not found thus far?

Where I'm at: I've found no way to make it recognize an existing bunker, but at least recovery through a new bunker did work. Not just for SN, I remember doing the same for Coracle.
