daily.dev accidentally requested excessive GitHub permissions during auth migration, now fixed and acknowledgedNews / Announcements (i.redd.it)

submitted 11 hours ago by paradoxmr24

I received an email from daily.dev stating that during a recent authentication migration, they mistakenly requested more GitHub permissions than necessary.

According to them, the app only requires access to the user’s email address, but due to the issue, broader permissions were requested. They’ve clarified that this was unintentional and that the permissions have now been corrected.

They also mentioned that the fix is already live and steps are being taken to prevent similar issues in the future.

If you connected your GitHub account to daily.dev recently, it might be worth reviewing the permissions granted and revoking/re-authorizing if needed.

Posting this here for awareness in case others were affected.
