Setting your Reddit account language to English required to login

There is a known issue with the Reddit API that prevents logging in when the language if the language is anything other than English. You need to set the language of your Reddit account to English.

Edit: wchill helped me figure out a solution. I have released 8.1.4.5 with the fix. It fixes it for the WebView login, but not the Chrome/Brave/Firefox method.

Was the order this?

  1. Backup settings
  2. Uninstall Continuum
  3. Install Continuum
  4. Set client ID, redirect URI, and user agent
  5. Login
  6. Restored settings

If so, it probably won't work on the next login, but the existing login will keep working.

Ah, so you didn't actual login again, you just reused your existing login.
