I've been using the cookie method, which is still working.

I am seemingly up to date already - what version are you using?

5.0.21 updated about 5 hours ago.  
I just updated and restart node-red then injected the previous saved cookie into the Init node set to initialise. I did not have to do any auth through the proxy port 3456. as i store the auth in context after a successful initialisation .

node-red-contrib-alexa-remote2-applestrudel has been updated to 5.0.22 to incorporate upstream changes and it's now working again for me

Hi all,

Well I delayed trying to update the node-red-contrib-alexa-remote2-applestrudel to **5.0.22**

So I am still running an older version **5.0.20**

It's 7 hours since I noticed that Alexa was not working, but now it is without updating ?

For the moment I will leave it as is, and see what happens, perhaps amazon was doing some work on the server side ?
