Interesting thing I just noticed...

If you have your AT pw stored on your computer..and you go on someone else's computer to change the password, the stored pw on your comp reflects this change.

So..if you ever accidentally save your pw on another computer, and don't logout, there seems to be nothing you can do to stop them from posting..

Forum issues.

if you change your password on one machine, you'll have to log out and then log back in on any other machine you use.

i.e. it only checks when you login, not "continually" or "periodically"

Oh really, I must test that theory. So what is your pw? 😀

Not at all..I just changed my pw from another computer, and here I am again on this computer without logging out posting.

And under my profile the length of my pw is reflected in the change..before it was 8 characters long, and now you only see seven asterisks.

I always wondered what if I wanted to use asterisks for my password would it work ?

i think my PW is stored on about 8 different comps. 3 in my house and 5 at my school that i use

Isn't that an Internet Explorer issue, rather than a forum issue? I know that Internet Explorer (by default) will ask you if you want to save your password every time you type in a new one.

That has nothing to do with the password being set on your machine, that page is generated each time you click on it.

Logged in/out is set via cookie, unless you clear your cookies or logout you will always be logged in - Even if banned.

If you don't want other people posting under your account, log out.
