	Question Avatar Enlargement: We've got the solution

Just suppose that I was using a computer and had my options set so that I was logged in automatically to Apolyton. This computer is now in the hands of an unsavoury character. If I change my password will that make it so I am no longer logged in automatically on that computer, or am I doomed to have said unsavoury character masquarading as me?

I just solved my own problem.
My preferences are set not to log me in automatically.

That was rather simple.

Makeo,

From my understanding of how the site works with cookies, changing the password on another computer will make it so that other computer cannot log in without also changing the password.

The question would be changing the settings from logging in automatically standard on another computer, would that keep another computer from logging in automatically? From my understanding, that would not, since the cookie stored on that other computer still has your password and the preference to log in automatically. It would log in before it ever knew not to.

So my suggestion from my understanding is to change your password. But I may be totally wrong about the facts/situation or how cookies are being used on this site.

Yeah even if you automatically login in there is nothing stopping you altering that setup.

But the best thing to do is not to let unsavoury characters have access to your machine.

I used to use and post with the unsavoury characters computer. Before I realised they were unsavoury. So they are in possession of the automatically logged in machine.

I have now changed my password and set it to not log in automatically on my comp.

Dare I ask what made the previously savoury person unsavoury?

Blaming troll posts or spam on an unsavoury third person is always fun.

Yeah I never would have set automatic log on if it was GP's computer.
