Discuss: Security issues in 'Remember Me' feature
by Shah Nawaz
Very helpful..... An article i've looking for few months.
Good work Shah Nawaz n Paladion both.... I think very extensive research is involved in writting this article.
Keep up Palisade.....
In Win2003 is not directory \Mozilla\Profiles\default. Only Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\XXXXXX.default.
Our ASP.NET 1.1 application is not provding the ability to save passwords with IE. We have autocomplete on for the password field. It works for other applications on our boxes.
Firefox works fine.
it makes no difference whether the user chooses YES or NO. The password is saved at the SPW key regardless of the choice. ......
it is really make no difference even we uncheck the "username &password forms" in content option....????
My problem is similar. My login and password details are saved OK but,in web sites, when I log in and go to another page on the same site it asks for my login details again. It will do this for every page I go to. Has anyone struck this before? One of the sites is aapt.com.au
That was an excellent article.
I have another serious problem with ie,
I have a site which uses windows authentication online.
Unfortunately i haved entered wrong password and checked remember password. Since then i am not able to view the page.
i have cleared all passwords and tempory files but of no use.
I have upgraded my ie to 7 but still the problem exists.
I strongly favour the comment done by Alistair Rigney
on the inability to save passwords with IE6 as well as IE7. We have autocomplete on for the password field.
Firefox works fine but sometimes it does save only usernames and not passwords !!!!!!!!!
Thank you - I was getting frustrated as I could not work out how to stop my password being remembered! And others use the computer! I searched the help on my machine then tried google and you had the answer - so simple and easy to read!
Thank-you Thank-you Thank-you.
@zakir...
It does store your password (Unless you disable it completely). You have to click "show password"
