Recently I got a new Android phone and I copied my apps including Wikipedia Beta from my old Android phone into the new one using the transfer service on the OS. When I opened the Wikipedia Beta app on the new phone it says I'm using a temporary account named "Samosambia" which obviously isn't correct. I was logged in with my username on the old phone and somehow copying the app made the app display it as a temporary account.
The app let me edit and the edit was saved with my username. Interestingly the editor warned me about using a temporary account despite Finnish Wikipedia not having temporary accounts yet.
The main menu showing the temporary account symbol with my username:
