Bluesky: unable to authenticate with domain handle
TedTschopp opened this issue · comments
Sorry for the spartan bug report. I am on mobile.
I use @ted@tedt.org as my handle at BlueSky. I am unable to authenticate from this page.
I was able to get this working by using my DID, which is a TXT record off my tedt.org that BlueSky uses to validate I own the domain name. Brid.gy then gets my name right and works ok.
I suspect you don't have a case in the code to do the DNS lookup.
Hmm, sorry for the trouble! Looks like you're @tedt.org on Bluesky. I'll look into it.
No troubles. I might have been "Holding it wrong"
But once I got the DID, as I saw it was looking that up in the Error Messages, everything worked. I also didn't quite know what format you wanted the handle in. Was it @tedt.org or ted@tedt.org or @ted@tedt.org or or or or...
Perhaps this defect is a UI/UX 'error'
Bluesky handles are just domains, not email addresses or fediverse-style webfinger addresses, so your Bluesky handle is tedt.org, or stylized, @tedt.org.
Bridgy has a couple bugs to fix here. First, it needs to validate handles better, including stripping any leading @. Second, it needs to convert input handles to lower case before using them in Bluesky API calls.
We'll fix both of those. Thanks again for reporting!
Yep, looks like I'm in this boat too. Seeing your comment and changing TechLifeWeb.bsky.social to lower case enabled me to authenticate.
Fixed! Thanks again for reporting!
