I've seen wefwef been recommended a lot and I like the interface and all but I have my concerns on the login part. Since it's an app that runs on a website, can they get your credentials if you login using that app? Thanks!

Yes, but that's true of any service where you are providing credentials to a third party. No worse than any other lemmy/reddit/whatever app, except for your level of trust.

Yes I understand that. I get that any app can send your sesion token or credentials wherever they want but if nothing shady is going on then they are just stored on your phone, so my question was more about the website part. Sice wefwef runs on a website does that mean that your sesion token is stored on the server?

I would expect token/credentials to originate from your device, not sure of the particulars here but it is open source so doubt anything shady. Don't reuse passwords I'm sure you know

I'd assume that the token/credentials are stored locally on the browser's cache maybe but I don't know how to check that on the source code so yes I'll have to trust. Thanks.
