Insomnia's update locks out prev user data, forces account creation w/o warning

67 pointsby huy-nguyenover 1 year ago
I&#x27;m a long time user of Insomnia API client (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;insomnia.rest" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;insomnia.rest</a>) without an account and was prompted to update the app an hour ago. I thought this was a regular feature update and accepted. After the app relaunches, it gives me the option to create an account with them or use without an account. When I choose the latter, my data is gone. Many others are reporting the same problem (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;Kong&#x2F;insomnia&#x2F;issues&#x2F;6577">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;Kong&#x2F;insomnia&#x2F;issues&#x2F;6577</a>). It&#x27;s actually a good app but this strong-arming behavior is simply unacceptable to me. What other choices do I have? Postman for Mac?
