RE: Engineering Update: Wallet Change Feedback

in #steemit6 years ago

I don’t mind the separation, I’ve already gotten into the habit of just keeping the wallet open in a separate tab. The two UI bits I’ve noticed that bug me are... (note: someone may have already mentioned these, and this is experienced on iOS Safari for me...)

  1. After successfully logging in, I remain on the login screen. The only indication that the login was successful is my avatar appearing in the top nav, where I have to go manually click to the actual wallet page. A successful login should auto redirect to this.

  2. There is a “keep me logged in checkbox” that seemingly does nothing. I’d prefer it to work with reauthentications every 30 days maybe... but right now I’m needing to log in every time. Could use a fix or total removal if you want to get extra secure by requiring login every time. But I feel comfortable with it working on devices that are already locked/protected.

Sort:  

Keeping one's wallet open is a security risk, though. You'll probably be okay, but if every user did that, it wouldn't be long before it caused major problems. I'm sure this change wasn't meant to CAUSE security risks for users...

That behavior definitely doesn't sound right. Great feedback

Hey, @andrarchy.

Just to piggyback onto what @bryan-imhoff said, I'm having the exact same issue of needing to constantly log in despite having the 'keep me logged in' box checked. I've been using Firefox, so it's not just Safari this is happening in.

Same issue here on chrome, no matter what change I do, going to settings, refreshing the page, all these things log me out.

We're looking into it. Thanks for letting us know!

i found that if I logged in with my active key rather than my posting key ... the keep me logged in didn't work... logging in with the posting key.. no problem... I stay logged in using chrome.

Likewise. And I simply use keychain and Steemworld.org to access my wallet now. Keychain can log me in automatically when I click the wallet tab.
