- After four years, Postman adds color-coding to environments
- Postman which I thought worked locally on my computer, is down
I ditched Postman for Insomnia (Open source) after Postman refused to adhere to customers to disable auto-updates for 6 years+. I checked on their GitHub issue tracker and it turns out, the solution was to upgrade to their "Enterprise plan".

So, I said fuck it and switched to a real, open source alternative, Insomnia, instead:

Do you have any details on the equivalent Postman change? How long ago did Postman force users to create an account? I found this github issue, but I'm not sure if it's what everyone keeps referencing.

- How to secure sensitive endpoints using JWT in Node.js
As you can see, this solution worked as expected, but it still has a big concern. The idea of using user email and checking their permission will not prevent malicious people from using an admin email, which can be easy to get with social engineering, and use programs like Insominia or Postman to get the same response as an unprotected endpoint.
