Re: odd subject but...overly aggressive security? (new nonce/cookie setup)
You should agree anyway that that’s a very rare event and that it doesn’t impact on the majority of TXP users.
Anyway, I guess that’s why we have a public Trac install and that’s why devs asked to the community to beta-test 4.0.6 before its release.

It gets annoying when you test an administrative plugin in different browsers.
As I said before, you can create multiple users in TXP, one for each browser, if that bothers you. Name the user after the browser or OS used, each with the same password. Easy and fast to set up. Definitely not worth spending time to re-write the authentication code for that reason.

i actually applaud the effort … i was taken aback and somewhat annoyed, but i think the benefits far outweigh the negatives. still i did do a flash based cookie test that could be used on the same machine crossbrowser, but alas this will not solve a multiple machine scenario.

Re: odd subject but...overly aggressive security? (new nonce/cookie setup)
I’m not a developer but I think the issue you all are talking about pertains to my problem. I designed a site for a client, and over the phone as I try to talk him through the admin of textpattern, we keep getting sent back to login, and lose the work. I have all day trying to figure out what’s going on. Is this it? One user is logging on with another computer and I’m here trying to do the same thing on the same site?

Yes … if you are both using the same login credentials then you are both competing for a session. You both can’t simultaneously do things, unless you set up a separate account.

I’m just glad it’s not me. I can work with that, thanks for letting me know.
