Due to a report from someone regarding a statistical attack vulnerability, they switched to the new approach which is in effect now. The easiest way to get this is to go here, log in and then pick the auth token out of the URL you are redirected to.
They will never know if you swipe correctly that they have appeared in your stack. It is a best practice in the areas of privacy and protection to preserve the list of applications you actively use. “He will be logged in to the victim’s Tinder account,” explained Prakash earlier this week, apparently assuming only guys would be interested in this kind of caper. @AbderrahmenM just make while loop with next_page_token and fetch all the matches.

Gotcha, so everyone had the same dates/time, but different year. Of all the online accounts you have, which one would you be least worried about if it gets compromised? No such incident should be taken lightly, but it must be said that the different accounts could give hackers different types of information, and some of it is more valuable than the rest. The blog posts and other content on this blog is written and published with good intentions. It is a good idea to narrow it to Active Apps if you have an extremely long list of your applications. In other words, uninstall all Facebook programs that you do not actually use.
We plan to provide further message suggestions for conversations that the user may already have going on with their matches, basing these suggestions on the contents of the messages exchanged. You set the X-Auth-Token header to the Facebook token accessToken, which may cause the 401 error. You should only set it in the following requests to the Tinder token you will get in the response of the auth request. I have been trying to do Tinder authentication using FB access token and user id. Please note that Account Kit was not verifying the mapping of the phone numbers with their one-time password. The attacker could enter anyone’s phone number and then simply log into the victim’s Account Kit account. Account Kit is a product of Facebook that lets people quickly register for and log in to some registered apps by using just their phone numbers or email addresses without needing a password.
Tinder API documentation
Don’t know what I am missing here, please find below the code which I used. Just interested to see if anyone else has done it in the past / what info was available to them at the time.
- We will change the login flow to make it more secure and easy-to-use before we let our friends use Tinder Pal.
- By exploiting this, an attacker could have gained access to the victim’s Tinder account, who must have used their phone number to log in.
- Of all the online accounts you have, which one would you be least worried about if it gets compromised?
- Account Kit verifies the code is correct, and if it is, issues Tinder an authorization token, allowing the login attempt to complete.
Supplying a phone number as a “new_phone_number” parameter in an API call over HTTP skipped the verification code check, and the kit returned a valid “aks” authorization token. Facebook’s system texts a confirmation code to the punter, they receive it on their phone, and type the code into Account Kit’s website. Account Kit verifies the code is correct, and if it is, issues Tinder an authorization token, allowing the login attempt to complete. Tinder is a location-based mobile app for searching and meeting new people. It allows users to like or dislike other users, and then proceed to a chat if both parties swiped right. In that case, both phones belonged to Prakash, but you can clearly see how with nothing more than a phone number, a malicious actor could compromise an account.
Tinder Pal
You will need to uninstall your Tinder account, delete it and start a new one if you want to remove an existing Tinder account from your Facebook account. I worked on the Django backend and most of the recommendation engine, and helped with the Tinder API authentication. We’re proud of having completed a working prototype in about 24 hours, an having created a product that we would personally use. We faced some issues with authentication with the Google Vision API as well. Since Tinder’s API isn’t public, we had issues with authentication. Pynder did not offer a clear way of accomplishing this either, but we eventually found a workaround in the comments for one of the issues in the Pynder Github repository. Prakash reported the flaws to Facebook and Tinder, and went public with his findings after the bugs were ironed out out of the backend systems and app.
It is reliable, easy to use, and gives the user a choice about how they want to sign up for apps. Some people were in hiding or wanted to preserve their privacy, and the exposure disrupted their personal lives. The privacy infringement generated an uproar and many Tinder users deleted their accounts. Thus, you could supply anyone’s phone number to Account Kit, and it would return a legit “aks” access token as a cookie in the API’s HTTP response. However, Appsecure founder Anand Prakash discovered Account Kit didn’t check whether the confirmation code was correct when the toolkit’s software interface – its API – was used in a particular way.
