It's broken. Every short URL I create points to my Microsoft Live account. Please fix this!
Initially I was happy with this extension - the short.io service in general is a great value for branded link shortening. Yesterday however I noticed the extension was disabled due to permissions creep - "Read and change all your data on the websites you visit" was added. By principle, I do not allow this permission to any extension unless I developed it myself or it's from the security team at my employer. Why does this extension need this level of permission? Is it possible to descope to a more reasonable and safe level of permissions in a future release? If so, I'll be a happy user of this extension once again!
Terrible extension. It doesn't auto copy into clipboard and even if you click COPY, it still doesn't copy. Almost useless. 9/23/2023 Update: Still a mess, doesn't stay logged in, therefor useless app. I have no idea how to actually logout/clear data so I can log back in to make it work.
Although you can login via Social accounts eg. Google. Their customer service was immediate to say they know the issue and are working on it. They gave a work around which was to use email and password. login > forget password > get email reset link > reset password > login with email and password. Works all ok now. π
Stopped working. Can't login anymore.
