Tuskd Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 (edited) Can confirm, I usually use my laptop and phone. Went ahead and logged in on another PC, got logged out of my phone and laptop. Is this a 'security feature' or a bug? This happened as late as a couple of days ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe some are calling it a feature but it's definitely a bug. I'm logged into three machines and randomly I'll lose one and have to sign back in. If it was a feature it would work that way all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1337ish Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 Basically the way I understand it is ipb sets a cookie value from the db that is valid for a week. If you log in on all those devices in that time they wont log each other out but if you log in after that time it will reset that value causing the other older logged in sessions to log out. They are aware its causing a lot of grief though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish this login feature move over to 4.x. I don't like this login that logs you out randomly. They should add 'Keep logged in for X of days/months/years' in the forum user panel.

Danielx64 Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 I think I may have found the issue. I think it comes down to what options you select while your logging in. If I leave "Remember me" selected while I log in on the first device, it will stay logged in. Then I go to a different computer and untick "Remember me" (because it a public computer) I will get logged out on the first device. If I have "Remember me" ticked for both login everything works a expected. I think the same can happen with "Sign in anonymously" as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1337ish Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 This should be improved hopefully with 4.1.15 which came out a couple of weeks ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon H Supervisor Posted November 3, 2016 Supervisor Share Posted November 3, 2016 this issue seems to be back with a vengeance O___O I was never affected before but since this last upgrade i can only be logged into 1 device at a time. Yesterday morning my home computer was logged out so i logged in and thought nothing of it. Came to work and my work computer was signed out, again thought nothing of it. last night when i came home that computer was signed out again, and repeat that with my work computer today. Remember me is checked. I will try fresh cookies today to see if it continues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven P. Administrators Posted November 3, 2016 Administrators Share Posted November 3, 2016 Hmm might have something to do with the board upgrade? I have been testing mobile ads and stuff, logging in and out on Mobile, but desktop wasn't signed out once, so it is working fine for me atm Edit: I also used various different VPN locations (ad related) so my IP changed a few times too, desktop (Chrome) stayed logged in though.
