Verified feature request does not already exist?

  • I have searched and found no existing issue

💻

  • Would you like to implement this feature?

Pitch: what problem are you trying to solve?

I forgot the command I used to enter my PikaPods instance.

I found the page https://actualbudget.org/docs/troubleshooting/reset_password/, but it didn't mention PikaPods. Since I can't SSH into PikaPods, it didn't help me directly.

At the end I used scp to copy server-files/account.sqlite to my computer. I started a local instance of Actual and set the password, and used sqlitebrowser to modify the file to have the hashed password I had locally.

Describe your ideal solution to this problem

I wrote an MR which adds reset-password-pikapods.js in addition to reset-password.js. The script asks you for the credentials given by PikaPods, downloads account.sqlite, modifies it using the same procedure as reset-password.js, and then uploads it.

Teaching and learning

If the script is added as in the MR, the documentation at https://actualbudget.org/docs/troubleshooting/reset_password/ should be updated to include it.
