Notes app account issue in /e/os 3.2

[newtun]

Anyone else having issues accessing their remote notes after the update?

I open the notes app it asks to select account; use local notes or choose Murena account. After I select Murena account it doesn’t work.

On fairphone 6. My notes are all their on the site.

Notes Sync

Cloud sync possible post v2.9 release

If not syncing after v2.9 upgrade,read the next section. Backup local notes before proceeding

Have the same in FP4 since several months

I managed to resolve this, I assume it’s to do with 2FA.

Steps to resolve:
Sign out of Murena account from e/os settings > Accounts.
Sign back in to Murena account
Create an application password
Sign in to notes using application password

Thanks for your solution, I have the same issues but I can’t seem to find how to use an application password in the notes app, it only offer me to use an existing account or to use local notes.
And when I choose an existing account the progress bar appear for a few seconds before the screen comes back to the choice between an existing account et local notes.

Ran into the same issue. I can select the account but nothing happens afterwards. Returns to select account page.

So since the update to /e/os v3.3 I can no longer get it working either. The issue you describe of selecting account and then the progress bar appears briefly and back was the same issue as /e/os v3.2. However the auth flow seems to be different from what I remember.

I tried logging out again and logging first into notes app, I can no longer use application password for notes, the auth window won’t accept it. I can log in with username and password but this doesn’t seem to work on the notes.

BTW I resolved my issue and ensured my account refers to @murena.io (instead of @e.email).

Same issue on Xiaomi Mi9SE on 3.4. First appeared on 3.3.
I tried the suggetions in the thread without succes, including the application password suggestion.

Please advise.

On /e/os v3.4 I have notes syncing again, steps to get it working using application password.

Steps I did:

1. Signed out of Murena account from e/os settings > Accounts.
2. Create an application password
3. Sign in to notes using application password
   1. I selected “select server” and entered https://murena.io
   2. Entered username and application password
4. This should sign you back in to your Murena account on your phone too.

Afterwards I did get an error from the Mail application saying this couldn’t sync Mail, this is not an issue for me as I use Thunderbird client anyway and my mail comes there but this could be an issue for others.

Everything else seems to be working right now; tasks, notes, calendar etc.

Thanks for the tip, I tried it but I haven’t got the possibility to select a server, only to add a murena or nextcloud account, did I miss anything ?

[newtun]

Just followed the steps above to check it’s correct and it worked, I this screen below when I add account on the notes app.

Thanks, I was reading too fast and skipped the “signed out” step but now the app is just loading infinitely

Works for me!

Thank you!
