CarePartner app authentication is valid for 1 week, thus even if xdrip is unable to connect to CareLink for a few days (for example due to the lack of internet connection), it will be able to renew the login (refresh the token) automatically in the background after it can connect to CareLink again without needing to login again manually using the browser. The user account restriction applies to this authentication process as well: a different dedicated follower account must be used in every app, otherwise the previous auth token will be revoked.
Credits
CarePartner app authentication process is based on the impressive work of @palmarci in extracting the entire authentication process of the mobile app.
Limitations
When the same account is logged in from another xdrip or official mobile application the previous login will be closed (authetication token is revoked). A different dedicated follower account must be used in every official and xdrip app, otherwise the previous auth token will be revoked.
