< IITC plugin: Bannergress credentials backup/restore

plugin version 2.0.0.20240212.202900 (by DanielOnDiordna)

The IITC Bannergress plugin requires you to log in, to be able to upload/sync/renew missions to the Bannergress servers.
At this moment it is not (yet) possible to login on Bannergress for IITC mobile users.

This plugin offers a workaround for mobile usage of the IITC Bannergress plugin:
You can backup your Bannergress login credentials from a desktop, and you can restore these credentials on a mobile device.

Follow these steps to get logged into the Bannergress plugin on your mobile device:

  1. Run IITC on a desktop browser: use Chrome with Tampermonkey, install the IITC-CE desktop release version, the Missions plugin and the Bannergress plugin (see Part 1: setup).
  2. Also install this Bannergress credentials backup/restore plugin in Tampermonkey.
  3. Open IITC on the desktop and press Login on the Bannergress plugin dialog. Make sure it says Authenticated.
  4. Open the backup/restore dialog (from the toolbox menu or the Bannergress dialog, Fig 1), and create a backup of your Bannergress credentials (Fig 2).
  5. Copy the credentials to your mobile device. You could use your Telegram Saved Messages chat. Be carefull: do not share your Bannergress credentials with other people!
