    How to be innocent (not really): Step 1. Insist that users absolutely MUST use your cloud server for every login into a self-hosted tool on their own hardware. Step 2. Have shit security. Step 3. Ow wow, now users’ data is all over your systems! Hackers clap their hands and do a happy dance. Step 4. Send out “we’re sowwy” email.

    Keep in mind that the only reason they deny you the ability to log in to your own local service with your own local sign-in method is that they may upsell you on their cloud junk. If there’d be no cloud account involved - your data would not be at risk and/or leaked. They endangered your privacy for marketing purposes.

    If you have not moved off of Plex - do it now. This company is fully rotten.

    The email they sent out has reply-to address that conveniently does not work…
