There are new security features on FHDC. If you're having trouble logging on, or staying logged on, keep reading.
I made a few changes to the software a few days ago that may have logged you out if you've been logged on the same computer for ages. The new login system is much more secure, and will protect your account if you use it on public computers. The main changes:
- The logon cookie now binds to your IP address by default. If somebody manages to steal your cookie, they can't use it from another computer. If you find yourself being logged out immediately or within a few pageloads (especially AOL folks), uncheck the "Bind to IP" box.
- You can only be logged in from one computer at a time. If you log on from home and work, you'll need to log on again each time. Logging on from another computer kicks off the logon from other computers forever, so if you forget to log off from a public computer, they can only play with it until you log on again.
- Password verification is now needed to make changes to your account. This way, anyone who gets ahold of your account can't change the password and steal it for themselves.
If you're having any troubles with the new system, let me know what's wrong and I'll twiddle some switches.
