Unable to Sync Current Reader and Newsblur

[nbabarskis]

I am attempting to use Newsblur as my sync service for currentreader.app. According to the sync workflow in Current I needed to have a paid plan from Newsblur. After signing up for the Premium plan in Newsblur when I attempt to sync through the Current app I am told that I have an Invalid username or password - I have checked and rechecked to make sure I am using right credentials.

Not sure if I should be starting here to address this issue or starting with Current. In my Newsblur account it says I am still on the Free trial. Could that cause an issue?

I just checked and it’s working for me, so it’s likely to do with your account showing up as a free account. The free trial should work fine, as it’s effectively a time-limited premium account.

What’s your username, I’ll take a look and see if I can see it in the logs.

oh, if you have an invalid username/password combo, then that’s definitely it. Try changing your password: https://newsblur.com/forgot-password
