Ok I repost here hoping to have some help

1. I have deleted all cookies; all passwords remembering setting closed and restarted Firefox.
2. I open FF and go to the protected page.
3. I am asked for the password, I enter it.
4. The browser asks “Remember this password?” I click NEVER for this site.
5. I access the protected page.
6. I close the tab, close the FF browser which asks me to clear the private data, which I do but NOT the cookies (Why should I?)
7. I reopen FF, go to the protected page and can open it without being asked for the password!

The problem is in point 6:
a) I have set up my browser to ask me every time I close if I want to clear the private data. Not everybody does that.
b) Why should I have to delete cookies when I close? The WP cookie should be automatically deleted when I close the session.

If I choose to delete cookies when I exit FF at stage 6, then the password is deleted and I have to input it again the next time. But as I said, I do not control what my users do…

As i said, if i log in into my bank account online and then close the tab then i have to re enter my password if i want to log in again. Why is this not possible with WP?

thx

Okay… Let me take you through:

Hmm… maybe I am not very clear, I know how to set up my broser but I can’t control how other people who use my site and access the paswword protected session set up THEIR browser…

and I think having to deactivate cookies is not the best solution. I don’t think it is an error, my bank online does not remember my password from one session to the other…

Thanks but I am not that thick…

To get rid of the password I have to delete the cookie manually, something I cannot control on my user’s PC.

I have the same problem…

Ieeh same computer would haev access to the protected page without having to enter the password. The password protection should be session based so that when I close the broswer it is deleted this is not the case.

i have check this on various forum and several people have the same issue.
