I finally overcame my laziness and changed my Logos / Vyrso / Faithlife password last night. Incidentally, this is in response to the massive password theft that was recently announced and which has begun to be used to attempt break-ins at other sites.
I have 2 iPads with the Bible app that use this account. One is an iPad 2 on iOS 6 and an older version of Bible. The other is an iPad 4 with the latest version of iOS and Bible. They both behaved the same way.
As a user, I don't expect that changing my password should result in a massive change. Intuitively, I would expect to have to re-confirm my credentials and go on my merry way. This was not what happened. Instead, it was a fairly painful process of re-loading my library information and waiting for who knows what before my library looked like it had before the change.
My impression is that the Bible app treats *any* login as if the app had just been (re-)installed, and it goes through an initialization process to get into a useful state. It wasn't completely like that - my documents were there, and my most open resource ("Read") was still there. But the library was treated as if it were being freshly discovered.
There was no need for this. It was the same account. Nothing had changed. The effect of this was that my the app was nearly unusable for quite a while. My wife's study was halted for a couple of hours because resources she had been used to reading were no longer showing as being in the library. I'm not sure what happened that made the resources finally show up - there was no indication of network activity, or the "indexing" progress bar, or anything like that.
I'd like to suggest that this process be made a little more intelligent. If a login is to the same account that had previously been logged in, I don't think the app needs to do anything. It should just leave things as they were and allow the user to use the app immediately.
Thanks,
Donnie
