questions about login and "remember me next time"

Dan
Hi,

I use the logon control for logging into the application. When logging and
checking the option "remember me next time" and then closing the browser
without to press any logout button which logout the user, the next time i
start the browser and go to the application, i don't need to login. That's
ok.

My questions are:

1) when logging and checking the option "remember me next time" but then
pressing the button logout ( with the code: FormsAuthentica tion.SignOut() )
and closing the browser, the next time i start the browser and go to the
application, i have to login again.
Is this logical?
2) And if yes, is it not better not to put a logout button, but just leaving
the browser?
3) Is there a difference between closing the browser and logout?

Thanks
Dan

Yes. By pressing logout it implies the user wants to "wrap out information
preserved on the PC to login automatically".
2) And if yes, is it not better not to put a logout button, but just
leaving the browser?
You'd better put the logout button there, just in case they want to switch
user.
And since there is tabbed browsing, and in certain browsers all tabbed pages
shares login sessions, it may not be desirable to require them to exit
browser to logout.
3) Is there a difference between closing the browser and logout?
You can logout but conserves non-user related preferences (like display
langauge), plus like I said above, sometimes closing browser is not
desirable.

I have more than 4,000 pieces of email in my Yahoo account. I would like to write a program to download them all. In order to write such a program, I need to know a few things. 1.

Hi, When clicking on "remember me" when logging, the user asks for not to have to log in next time he visits the site. Now, on one side, i read it is recommended to logout properly (clicking on 'logout') when quiting the site, but then, the user looses the benefit of the option "remember me next time" and must login next visit. On the other side, if the user quit the website without logout, at the next

I am using a built-in login control on a form, and have set the "DisplayRememberMe" property to false. It correctly does not display that checkbox on the login form; however, after authenticating, I'm prompted with an Autocomplete Passwords Dialog box, asking if I want to remember the password. Is there any way to disable this dialog, and force it to not remember any passwords? Thanks in advance.

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
