Login and cookies
Posted: Tue Jun 24, 2014 5:08 am
Lately my browser cookies haven't been working for Cantr and the Cantr Forums.
Forums - I can tick the "Log in automatically" button when I log in all I want but if I navigate away for more than an hour or two I am logged out and have to log back in.
Cantr - I've been going back and forth between regular Cantr and https Cantr, and when I switch I always have to log back in no matter how much time was between navigations.
Also I find it interesting how, on the login page with my credentials saved into my browser, the system rejects me if I touch the Login button on my touch screen, but will accept the same credentials if I use the mouse or the Enter key. Additionally, if I "alter" the login credentials (meaning add a character and backspace just that character. ex: my password is "password" and I backspace the d and then retype the d) it will accept the touchscreen tap to log in. I don't have this issue at all on my mobile browser however.
I'm on Windows 8 (not 8.1) using Chrome. I've had this laptop for a year and a half.
I've been having problems with cookies on other forums too, but only one or two, and those started having issues long before the Cantr ones started having issues. On one of them I have to look for new posts because they don't highlight anymore, but that's not related to the Cantr forums unless it's some kind of a next step.
Does anybody have any guesses or answers as to what might be happening? Security changes I wasn't aware of? Is my browser getting some kind of electronic dementia? lol jk
