Logins

[cprice12]

I had to manually login again earlier this week.

So you guys never want to have to login again? Ever?

That would be awesome. I haven't needed to re-login on Ebay or Facebook for years now.

Not sure if that will work with the way the bridge is between the forum and Joomla since the Joomla end manages that stuff.

But the login time is much longer now, yes?

Lately it's been every 10 days or so. No worries at all - just wondered if it was browser-specific.

Let's call it a security feature.

So now 1 login attempt is exceeding the maximum?

That's news to me.

That's news to me.

I just got the same thing. When the page loaded from bookmarks it showed me as logged out. Clicked on Login with my info and it gave me the screen saying I had exceeded the maximum amount of attempts and I had to enter the captcha code.

Have you guys heard of Last Pass?
https://www.lastpass.com

Great, great piece of software...and it's free.
It's a browser plug-in (IE, Firefox and Chrome) that logs all of your usernames and passwords and auto fills login info and auto logs you into sites.
It syncs with your online account, so if you install the plug in on another browser (work and home) it knows all of your passwords, no matter what browser you are on, as long as you have the plug-in installed. And you can go into your account and edit your usernames and passwords for various sites if they have changed without lastpass knowing. And if you log in with a different password on a site, it will ask if you want to replace your old login, or make a separate login option.
I may have to re-log in here every couple days here...but LastPass quickly logs me in all by itself if the login screen comes up, and then takes me to the forum main page.

You only have to remember one password, to log in to LastPass...and that's it.

What's weird is that after you install the plug-in, it automatically knew a ton of my logins for various sites...it must have pulled them from the browser or somewhere. I thought, well...this will take a while for it to log all of my login info on all of the sites I login to because I have to go there first and login so it can grab the info, but no...it already knew 90% of the sites from cache, temp files, etc. Pretty cool (and a bit scary too).

The pay version (which I'm considering buying) allows you to use it on your Android or iPhone as well.

It might be worth a try for you guys until I get around to fixing the login issue. And at the very least, you have been informed about a very useful program.
