Topic: LuxCal 5.2.1M login every day

Hi,

Since few days, I upgraded LuxCal from 5.1.1M to 5.2.1M ; and now I have a problem with login :

Even if I check "Remember me" on login, it works only 24 hours maximum.

I tried on Windows PC (Firefox) and Android (Smartphone with Samsung Browser), with same issue.

Please, do you have any idea ?

Thank you,
Maxime

Hi Maxime,
In LuxCal 5.2.1 we have solved a security issue, to keep hackers out of the calendar. What you are experiencing is most probably the following:
When you log in to the calendar on your PC with "Remember me" on, it will remember you, but as soon as you log in WITH THE SAME USERNAME on an other device (tablet, smart phone, etc) you will be remembered on the other device and not on the PC anymore.
You can solve this by creating a user account in the calendar for each device. For instance Maximec, Maximep, Maximet (for Computer, Phone and Tablet). All three users can have the same password (if you prefer). Now the calendar will remember each of the users on their own device.

Hi Roel,

I was not aware of that.

Now, I created 1 user by device, and it works again.

Thank you

Aha! Thanks Roel, I was having the same problem.

Is this a temporary work-around or a 'permanent' fix?

Hi greg,

It's not a work-around, and it's not a fix, ha ha. It's just how it works. The calendar remembers "users" So if you create a user for on your PC and a separate user for on your smart phone, both will be remembered individually.

Thanks Roel.

Just by way of background, this makes credential management using my password manager more difficult. The same website now needs multiple sets of credentials saved for it, and the password manager isn't aware of 'context' like this, so it can't auto-fill the right set of credentials depending on the device I'm logging in from.
