Welcome! This forum has a treasure trove of great info – Scouters helping Scouters! Just a heads up, though - all content, information, and opinions shared on this forum are those of the author, not the BSA.
I took a look at the recent announcement (September 1, 2020 Internet Advancement Change Log) regarding the addition of an option to use Google/Apple login credentials in lieu of BSA login credentials, and I wanted to try to get some clarification if possible.
NOTE : You have one login choice, BSA credentials, Google or Apple. For example, when you setup login with Apple ID, your BSA credentials no longer work but your Apple ID will.
Does this mean that, once you make the choice to convert to Google or Apple login, you can never revert to login with BSA credentials (or, alternatively, choose to swap from Apple to Google or vice versa)?
That seems like what’s intended by the statement, but I wanted to make sure I understood in case someone asked me about it.
ETA: Hrm…it looks like the original announcement may have been pulled?
Yeah, I saw this in the interface, but I wasn’t willing to experiment with my login credentials to find out whether or not I could go back. I was hoping somebody knew already.
“The way back comes but once. Be steadfast.” :^)
HOLD OFF WE ARE ALMOST THERE… don’t do this until later tonight when Scoutbook has the support as well. That way the credentials will work for Scoutbook as well.
Personally, I was mostly curious, since I anticipated questions about the new feature. My fingers have developed muscle memory for my BSA credentials at this point. If I swapped to something else, I’d probably get confused…er, more confused than usual.
