Implement UID Storing in getData (Explore Local/Token-Based UID Retrieval) #2

Feature Request: Implement UID Storing in getData

Problem

Currently, the application lacks a method for obtaining and storing the UID from local files. At present, only the GUID can be found locally, and there is no direct or known way to retrieve the UID. The current workaround involves acquiring a token via OAuth (mail + password), then using the token to request a u8_token and UID. However, it is not possible to reverse-engineer or extract the UID from the obtained u8_token alone.

Requirements

  • Investigate methods to obtain and store the UID within getData.
  • Explore the feasibility of retrieving UID data from local files.
  • Alternatively, research how to obtain the UID using a u8_token (if possible).
  • Document findings, attempted approaches, and any dead-ends.
  • Implement the best possible way to reliably obtain and store the UID in getData.

Additional References

Notes

  • Avoid using the email+password OAuth/token method if at all possible.
  • Emphasize methods that are robust, do not rely on external APIs if feasible, and respect user privacy/security.

If a satisfactory method to obtain the UID is found, document it thoroughly in code comments and project documentation.
