Hello,
When authenticating to V3, I'm using
https://www.themoviedb.org/authenticate/%requestToken%?redirect_to=%APP%
And I get the following screen on Android: https://i.imgur.com/3X1MpCC.png
However, using V4, the URL will be
https://www.themoviedb.org/auth/access?request_token=%requestToken%?redirect_to=%APP%
And the screen that I get is: https://i.imgur.com/BVVYIU4.png
With V3, it is not required to be signed in - the user gets the Login and Signup options and the token is not lost after either action. However, for V4 the user gets an 'error' message, and when he chooses to sign in or sign up, the token is lost.
I can't access the /authenticate/ route for V4, it seems to only work with V3 tokens. With the V3 system, the user only needs to go to TMDB once. With V4, I'll need to open TMDB once to log in and another for the user to allow my API key (approve his request token and ask for an access token).
Am I missing something or is it really necessary to do that for V4?
PS: I only want to have one auth system in my app, however I was having problems with V4 and decided to try V3. I will need V4's features in the future.
Thank you in advance, Luís

Bringing up the post to ask about the token persistance on V4. We're getting our app ready for the Play Store, and at the moment the user has to login/register, close the TMDb tab, open it again, and then accept our app - which is not very intuitive.
Thanks in advance for your work.

Hey @opanao,
I've moved this ticket to my next block of work queue.

This work was just rolled out to production. v4 tokens should now persist if the user is not logged in, or is signing up.
