Constantly being logged out.

Post Reply New Topic

This is a recent development.
That is not a major concern, but I have found, even though I simply log on with my saved password, the number of allowed attempts is counting down.
I am down to 3 attempts now.
Is anyone else have this problem?

Do you mean that, even though you're logging on with your saved password, you still get challenged for the password?
There is also a built-in auto-logout function but that triggers after no activity for some time (like, you leave your PC logged on while you have dinner or go out for a while) - I've not measured it, but it's at least an hour, possibly two.

How does the reducing attempt count show - its it something that's just displayed at login, like an announcement, that you have three chances at logging in or is it something you're seeing because your logins are failing?

Has that count been reducing over time - days, weeks?

I don't know if WP uses it, but a fairly common technique during many failed logins is to taper off the number of attempts allowed within some given time, or that further failed logins result in an increasing delay between later attempts.
But both of these depend on a series of failed logins, and that seems unlikely if you're using a stored password.

It's a conspiracy, man! They're trying to silence you!

There is no conspiracy.  The Illuminati does not exist.  Nether does the Mafia.

No one has gained unauthorized access to the server upon which WrongPlanet runs.

The thought has crossed my mind.

It crossed mine too seeing as how I never get logged out even when I've not been active for weeks.

This being constantly logged out is new.
It happened today, also, though the login attempts have gone back up to 4 from 3, now.

I used to stay logged in for months at a time, previously.
I guess I am "special" now.

^ I'm interested to know what your answers are to these questions, earlier:

AW you are special for all the right reasons.

Does that mean you luv me?
Wow!
Now that I finally have a woman, I don't know what to do with her.
Suggestion anyone?

Pepe, do you actually want to be helped with your opening query here?
