Password Autofill on a React Native Expo app

Developing an app to accompany our website, worried that we would lose people in the transition if they couldn't remember their password, we were looking to make our app do Password AutoFill, a feature in iOS.

A talk from WWDC introducing the feature: https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2017/206/

It works well, but there were a few bumps in the road making it work for React Native on Expo, so here are some notes to help out.

Apple's docs are here: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/security/password_autofill and they say something like this:

Dumping games with Godmode9

Dumping games is the act of taking a game from your system or gamecart and copying it into a readable format onto your SD card. Dumping is perfectly legal if you keep the dumps to yourself, however sharing these dumps is piracy and is illegal.

This guide will tell you how to dump games from various formats and for various purposes. Dumping 3DS cartriges as .cia files is good if you want to install them to your system. Dumping them as .3ds files is good for emulators. Installed titles cannot be dumped as .3ds files. NDS cartiges can only be dumped as .nds files and cannot be installed (however, you can play them with emulators or flashcarts).

Dumping the RomFS of a game is primarily for romhacking purposess.

Workarounds for Netflix and the blocking of Hurricane Electric IPv6 tunnels

The dreaded "You seem to be using an unblocker or proxy." error message. Cool story bro.

This gist was essentially created out of my own rant about Netflix being hostile to IPv6 tunnel services since June 2016. You are welcome to read my opinion on the matter, this is the more technical side to the issue and how to combat it within your own network.

Since I wrote this, various GitHub users have contributed their thoughts and ideas which has been incorporated into this gist. Thank you to everyone who have contributed their own methods and implementations.

The problem

Netflix now treats IPv6 tunnel brokers (such as Hurricane Electric) as proxy servers. A while ago it became apparent to users and Netflix that somewhat by accident, IPv6 tunnel users were being served content outside of their geolocation because of the way Netflix was identifyi

PEP-8 is a set of Python style recommendations. pep8 is a module that checks your .py file for violations. To make your Travis-CI build fail if you have any violations, you could add these lines to your .travis.yml:

before_install:
    - pip install pep8
    
script:
    # Run pep8 on all .py files in all subfolders
    # (I ignore "E402: module level import not at top of file"
    # because of use case sys.path.append('..'); import <module>)
