I used my app/pass without issue last week, but now when I open it I get a “Your adventure starts here” message and an option to log in or sign up.

Why do I need to log in to use the pass?  This wasn’t necessary last week.  And what happens for people who do not have an account, like my father?

Hey there, 

You can use the Interrail app as a guest to check train times by tapping "Skip for now" on the welcome screen. To use your Pass, though, you'll need to log in with your Interrail account.

You can log in at any time from the Home page, your Trip, or the login button at the top of the "More" menu. You can find step-by-step instructions here: Get started with the Interrail app.

So this is a change in the app? Until now, I never needed to log in to be able to use a pass. I don't have an active pass right now, so can't check.

I'm not sure why this change would be needed. What problem will it solve?

This also raises the question how this will affect the internet requirement. Until now, you did not need internet anymore for the rest of the day after having activated a travel day. Will that remain the case?
