Issues with extension/server login sync?

@karger says "Once I've logged into the browser extension, it's wasteful that I also need to separately log in to the web site. The extension should use the password I've provided to log me in to the web site in the background."

So our code is currently doing that - I checked just now by logging out of the website (which automatically logged me out of the extenstion) - then I logged into the extension and refreshed the website, and it worked.

It should never happen that you can access the extension but the website and vice versa, since they depend on the same API calls.

What may have happened in your case was that your log-in on the extension failed, maybe related to #118 ? I have noticed that sometimes logging in on extension is slow - if I click elsewhere before it finishes I don't actually log-in.

So I've checked and I appear to be logged in to the extension but not
the site. Possibly due to some unreliable networking here. Not
critical but for robustness it might make sense for the extension to
check login status any time the site is loaded and log in if not.
