Comment on It Happened again just logged in and it was under anothers username. I am sure I can't be the only one this has been happening to. Is this not a big security risk?

  Just a heads up, I just encountered a bug with their 2FA. I logged in, got prompted for the code, pasted it in but accidentally hit Cancel instead of Submit. It took me back to the login page, then just logged me in. I’ve been able to repeat the process even with expired codes, but not with codes I make up on the fly.

    I’m deeply grateful for the consideration. This is all programmed in Rust, is it not?

  have no clue what that is. I am using firefox on an hp laptop and when I click my bookmark it usually auto logs me in to my account.

    2FA is two factor authentication, it requires your password plus a generated code from an authentication app that changes every 60 seconds.

      Mine is just in my bookmarks I click it and since it saves the password it auto logs me in.

        I’m totally guilty of this myself, but saving passwords in your browser is risky. Browsers can be tricked into, for example, populating your credentials into hidden fields, thus exposing your creds to whoever’s on the other end wanting that data.

        I’m certainly not going to stop doing it myself, so I’m just recommending that all your passwords at least be unique for each account. I use a password manager to store them all, that way I only need to remember one master password for all my accounts.
