Hey guys - here I am on the forums posting this instead of doing tank maintenance I need to get done because I am really tired of this happening. I log into Hydros pretty much only when I am doing maintenance to shut down my sump - and lo and behold, I am logged out of the app.
I am not sure if you are doing this intentionally (for fake security benefit - I work full time in security and have done application security testing work...) or if it is a byproduct of the app not handling auto-upgrades well, but logging in AGAIN is about the last thing I want to do right before I need to do a water change.
If this is being done out of some mis-guided attempt at security, please note that most 'normal' apps on phones do not require re-auth on a monthly basis. Look across types, too - social networks, other home IoT like Kasa, Amazon shopping... the only one I can think of on my phone that requires frequent login is my bank, which rightly so.
If you were really keen on boosting the security of Hydros, consider implementing MFA instead. Funnily enough, this forum has it when the actual app controlling stuff does not.
