Hello, has anyone successfully setup paperless using the android mobile app?  
Access through the web page is fine but the mobile app from the play store will not accept any user credentials.  
To recreate issue, enter the url on first page [https://paperless.xxx.syncloud.it](https://paperless.xxx.syncloud.it), on next page enter user and password.

You are right, I did not even know they have a mobile app.

Quick test shows that it does not like single sign on authentication. Currently I was able to login only if I create another user in paperless.

Let me try to find any issue on their tracker.

Yes there is an open issue: [[Feature]: mpflanzer-allauth (OpenID Connect) · Issue #374 · astubenbord/paperless-mobile · GitHub](https://github.com/astubenbord/paperless-mobile/issues/374)

People suggest either create another user with likited permissions (ok) or overwrite password of the main user in paperless (not good)

Creating another user through the dashboard work well, thank you.
