Incorrect password causes perpetual loading

[thaddius]

I entered my retroachievements password incorrectly and the plugin is now stuck in perpetual loading; never times out, never gives me an error.

I have this same issue. Tried uninstalling the plugin and reinstalling, reloading the plugin and even restarting my Steam Deck.

I had the same problem.

1. In Desktop mode open Dolphin (the file viewer, not the emulator).
2. Go to /home/deck/homebrew/settings/
3. There should be a file emuchievements.json. Open this file.
4. Correct the values, then save and close the file.
   1. Alternatively, you can just delete the file (this will make you go through the new install flow next time).
5. Turn off the Deck completely and then turn it on again (restarting might work, I haven't tested).

Next time you start in Gaming mode it should use the new login credentials (or prompt you to log in if you deleted the .json file).

I had this issue, saw blank fields in that file for username and api key, but not password. I filled in my username and api key, didn't work, deleted the settings file and uninstalled the plugin, rebooted and reinstalled the plugin but I get no prompt to log in, it just loads forever.
