Thank you for the lightning quick solution. Love to be able to add private channels with a click!

Thanks, the initial password works. Sorry

@openoms, Thanks for raising the issue. ‘DEFAULT’ authentication type broke when we implemented Sha256 hashing in the last release. It has been fixed and released with v0.3.2.

Please get the latest version to fix this issue. Closing it for now, please feel free to reopen if needed.

@openoms we are investigating this. This may be a bug on our end.
