Constantly getting logged out
« on: February 15, 2011, 08:42:24 AM »
Has anyone else been getting logged out of the forums constantly?  I access the forums from 2 or 3 different computers throughout the day and everytime I switch a computer I have to log in again.  I used to always be logged in whereever I was.  What changed?

Nothing.
You aren't the only one experiencing it but I have yet to recreate the issue.
I stay logged in across 3 machines.

UPDATE: I was just taking a peek at FireFox version numbers... I am running 3.6.13 on my machines... Could be a FireFox thing?

Yeah, I have not experienced this unless I access them from a machine I never accessed them from before...for obvious reasons.

UPDATE!

Well, it looks like there is a bot out in the wild brute forcing SMF Passwords... And as it tries (and fails) it revokes your current logon... I am guessing this doesn't happen to me because my display name is different than my logon name.

I think that's why it doesn't happen to me either.

Well from what I read on there it seems that they decided to use a mod to force using email addresses for login and that seems to have stopped the bot dead.

The thing I am afraid of with installing that mod it will break the social logon. And being so close to an event it could break things worse than just having to logon again.

Interesting. Yours might be something different. Your account wasn't logged as bad password attempted.

Whatever it is, it's hitting me. Not that it's a problem, but yeah.

I can confirm it's happening to me with Chrome. I thought it was a Chrome thing because I just recently started using it as my main browser.

I'd say let's just deal with it for now as it's only being a nuisance and not a true security risk. We can try to implement that mod after the LAN.

Edit: As a workaround for the time being, you could always change your display name slightly, as I have here. That should buy you some time.

Please just walk away. I don't want to have to stand here and say something so awesome that I'll have to remember it the rest of the day. Thank you!

Added to .htaccess... HOPEFULLY it will slow them down just a little. I will dog ear the log to see if I catch more moving forward. If it stays bad I will add the mod to logon by email address after the event. SMF as a whole needs an update too, but last time I did that it broke the store and made more work for me. ;)

I decided to do the same thing as well.  Hopefully it will quit now that my name is changed.
