Topic: Why do I have to login every time I change device?

This topic is old and might contain outdated or incorrect information.

Since the recent changes I now have to re-login every time I access the forum from a different device. I noticed something was up then it clicked today when swapping between my laptop, Note 2 and Note Pro tablet.

Never ever had to do this before?

I had to login every time new device or not now when logging in from my computer it alright for the first time since 2005, i'm happy.

I'll try from other devices tonight see what happens.
 
Same thing here, if I use my phone log in, if I switch to the Mac log in, if I switch to the tablet log in, if I switch to the PC log in.

Thank goodness for remembering my password, lol!!
 
you guys should use chrome.. it will fill in your username & password, so you just have to press enter. I would think it would have changed for security, it is a bit annoying though.
 
Most browsers that remember passwords can have the password sniffed by a virus or other ways. If security is a concern, I would recommend a password manager like KeePass instead.
 
no one would get anything from me anyway...
 
I don't know, but it may be a security function. This way, you can't be here on two different machines, at the same time. Or at least they know, you are on two machines, at the same time. At least with the same account. Not a big deal for me.
 
Just happy that I don't get logged out when trying to save a long post :-D Prob a security feature but also stops you leaving multiple machines logged on to the server all the time.

Works for me

I started copying my whole reply before hitting send just in case I would get logged out.
 
After logging in on my other machine I came back to my lapppy and had to login, but then im used to logging in everytime anyway at least now if im using the same machine i remain logged in.
