You can use `goat` for a CLI version: https://whtwnd.com/bnewbold.net/3lj7jmt2ct72r I'm not sure if OAuth gives access to the account management APIs. Certainly much could be improved. Nudging users would be a good notification within the Bluesky app, like one of those on boarding task lists that doesn't have to be completed to get started, but remains visible until you complete or discard them. goat has since moved to a dedicated repository: https://github.com/bluesky-social/goat There is also an adversarial path (when the PDS will not play nice), but it requires setting up a rotation key and having a repo backup ahead of time. https://www.da.vidbuchanan.co.uk/blog/adversarial-pds-migrat...
