Wipe login data

[tijno]

This is the PR as per issue #34

It will clear login info from local storage for all logged in accounts after the user enters a confirmation sentence.

After a quick read of the changes Everything LGTM -- Note though that I'm able to test this locally (as I broke my machine 😬), however I assume you've done so already based on the gif provided in #34.

This doesn't solve the major security concerns which Identity presents, but small additions like this definitely make things a bit easier for the end user. Thanks for the PR!

anything else needed in this @maebeam @lazynina

bunch of people got hacked yesterday due to using extensions and having old accounts logged in.

not being able to clear local storage easily makes this worse when it happens.

[maebeam]

@tijno I'd like to make this a separate component e.g. /logout

Which extensions were compromised?

[tijno]

ok will make it separate component.

not sure which ones - @HPaulson looked into that side of the hacked accounts. I could see about 20 likely affected.

[maebeam]

thank you!

Has anyone provided any proof or identified specific extensions? Seemed like some opportunist FUD to me.

"Someone sent all my CLOUT to an anon address." Please donate. 😂

[tijno]

I'd like to make this a separate component e.g. /logout

time to learn some angular.

I might have time to split this out into a separate component this afternoon. I'll post here before I do just in case you get to it first @tijno

[tijno]

earliest i will get to it is sunday @akutch

this would be so amazing 🤩

[akutch]

@tijno ok I'm starting it today 🙂 I'll see how far I can get

Couple clarifying questions – 

1. The work left is just a matter of splitting the 'clear' logic into a separate component (e.g. clear-account), right?
2. Are we thinking this is a separate route as well or just part of log-in?

Draft PR here: #51

[tijno]

@akutch

yes separate component

and i think separate route too as "signup" for example from memory is a separate route too. So keep consistent with that.

[akutch]

The changes are ready for review here: #51

[tijno]

included in PR mentioned above by @akutch so closing this one.
