If you try to update your account credentials in Resin, it will set all of the properties being accessed in the _handleSaveProfile callback to null, "", false or whatever seemed to be the default or unset value.

Notably, PixelDroid doesn't allow you to update your account credentials from within the app; it opens your instance's settings page in a web browser. This should be tested on other Pixelfed instances, from the terminal and probably on Mastodon as well.

Using this interface on Pixelfed will erase your profile's metadata. See #26 for
discussion and possible alternatives

Fix issue with multipart data typing in Settings
f057b71 
This probably doesn't totally fix the problems with uploading a new
avatar becasue the interface hasn't been fully tested due to the
problems outlined in #26, the documentation is kind of ambiguous on how
the data is handled and I honestly don't know much about multipart form
data, as I have recently discovered
