It's logging me out... again!

357 replies

CelticJuggler · 30/03/2014 14:08

Anytime I navigate away from MNet (I know, I do try not to do it, but sometimes I need to look at other sites 'kay? Wink ) I'm logged out and have to log back in again. Even if I have two tabs running, it happens when I switch from one to the other.

I've tried it on a variety of devices and browsers;

  • iPhone running latest software update (7.1?) and using Safari & Chrome.
  • Kindle Fire using Chrome and Silk
  • Laptop running Windows 7 and using Chrome & Firefox. I couldn't bring myself to try IE.

It's not the end of the world, but it is annoying.

Tech did sort it last time, but whatever he/she/they have upgraded has reset it for me (at least!).

Keylogger?
Firefox remembers my password etc - just press first letter of user name, enter and then enter again....so nothing to keylog

Please remember if you are using Incognito or Private browsing you will be logged out every time. Other than that it should work as normal. We haven't changed the functionality at all.

BTW my mumsnet password is rubbish...not very secure but that I thought it didn't really matter - if someone wanted to pretend to be me so what?
I am wrong thinking that?

Remote keylogger? Don't like the sound of that. Confused

unlucky83 · 11/04/2014 21:24

Me too laptop, windows 7, firefox with no script running.
Just out of interest -
Why does it matter?
Just means someone else can log in and post as me? Is that it ? Or it there more to it than that?
Is this something to do with heartbleed?

Buggeration. Just had to log in (android phone), but it's been so long since I've had to log in that I'd clean forgotten my password! I had to go hunt down my little black brown book.
First time it's happened on my phone. Haven't checked laptop - currently being hogged by DH.

Bet the hacker has installed a remote keylogger, to capture usernames/ emails and passwords as they are repeatedly and frantically re-entered

Apols, Primadonnagirl, the techs are working on it at our end, I was just offering a suggestion re cookies. Tech is aware of the problems, folks, thanks for all the intel, much appreciated.

Tech - Is rootsess meant to expire at browser close?

CalamitouslyWrong · 11/04/2014 21:15

It's doing it to me too. It's annoying me so much I've decided to use the bloody app!

Happening on my ipad too

SauvignonBlanche · 11/04/2014 21:14

Still happening on my iPad and I've ticked keep me logged in.

Twit · 11/04/2014 21:14

Me too, on iPad. Also lost m threads I'm on/watching last weekend, thought nothing of it until this.

IamInvisible · 11/04/2014 21:13

It's still doing it to me on the iPad and I do have the "keep me logged in" box ticked.

nannynick · 11/04/2014 21:13

Spoke too soon, PC not fine... if Chrome is closed, then reopened, results in logged out of Mumsnet.

nannynick · 11/04/2014 21:11

Mobile going round in circles, login page appears but then when it redirects back to ThreadsI'mOn or AdvancedSearch, it says need to login.

PC seems fine though.

tammytwigg · 11/04/2014 21:10

Me too iPad safari ,have to keep resetting the colours and posts per page giving me a headache .

figgypuddings · 11/04/2014 21:10

Macbook, Chrome, ticked but logging me out if I go off MN.

5madthings · 11/04/2014 21:09

Still doing it, I went from reading a thread and posting fine, then I clicked threads I am on and it tells me I am logged out... But it had just let me post!!

LightastheBreeze · 11/04/2014 21:08

NoRunAround · 11/04/2014 21:07

I've been logged out on the iPad this evening!

Iwillorderthefood · 11/04/2014 21:04

Me too box ticked.

youarewinning · 11/04/2014 21:03

It's now happening to me. I'm glad I found this thread because I wasn't at all worrying I'd been hacked and someone had logged me out I was very confused. I'm using iPad mini safari.

BobaFetaCheese · 11/04/2014 21:03

I've been kicked out lots tonight. On both phone (android or whatever it is now) and on laptop (chrome).

Box is always ticked for me.
