I’m really glad that you added an option to send to Pinboard with the latest update! However, I’ve entered my API token incorrectly and now I can’t change it. Whenever I try to send to Pinboard all it says is:
Error

I’ve tried uninstalling Newsblur and re-entering my Newsblur stuff but it doesn’t reprompt me for this API token.
Yeah, I did the same, no matter what I tried I was never re-prompted for the API token.
I guessing this info is inside what is the equivalent of the OS X Keychain but for iOS. That’s the only way I see it persisting.
Anyone ever figure this out? I fat fingered my api token and now I can’t reset it inside the Newsblur app on my iPhone

From my searches online, it looks like there is no way to reset or delete invalid keychain items from outside an App other than jailbreaking the device or wiping the device and reinstalling without using the old backup or having another iOS device to invalidate the original device’s keychain to wipe all passwords and tokens and then restoring that backup. PITA.
Its upto the app to provide the functionality to delete or invalidate incorrect device keychain items but it doesn’t do that now.
Pinboard sharing is not NewsBlur code, it’s third-party stuff, and quite a mess; this is not its only problem.
One option may be moving to an alternate iOS sharing infrastructure such as Overshare:

It’s newish and I haven’t tried it, but it looks pretty nice, and addresses this account management issue in a generic way. It has support for Pinboard as well as (I think) a superset of the other sharing services implemented by NewsBlur at the moment. It also looks more usable than the standard sharing interface on iOS 7.
