Danbooru

Reset passwords

Posted under General

Privileged users who login an abnormally high number of times (more than 100 in a month) will now have their passwords automatically reset. You'll get an email with your new password. I've recently reset animeboy12 and Bloodtyrant. If you have a legitimate reason why you're logging in so often, tell me and I'll put you on a whitelist.

By login I mean when you attempt to login at http://danbooru.donmai.us/user/login. While there are legitimate reasons for this happening, one possibility is when an account is being shared with several other people. I apologize for any inconvenience this might cause.

Haha accually I don't really know why I tend to login so often, unless everytime I come visit it automatically logs you in, but I always manually login as well (might count as 2).

Well what else can I say, Danbooru is a great place to hang out.

sorry, I didn't know loggin in so much was a problem. The only reason why I keep logging in is because of my bad connect(wireless) so I have to keep getting reconnect to the internet. I try to get a new router soon

oh yea and I have my browser clear all my priate data including site I've logged into

Even if you disconnect, you should still be logged in, no?

I've probably logged into danbooru less than five times in the year and a half I've been here, and I think 2-3 of those are when the site underwent changes and everyone had to log in, or when there was a glitch, or when I was testing something for a friend or something.

I suppose it also depends where you're accessing and who's around. If you're in an internet cafe because your home internet is down a lot, that would make sense. Same if there's little ones with prying eyes trying to access the family computer.

That's... not good. Get your own computer =P

Because clearing all my private data every time I log off would drive me absolutely homicidal.

it's not so bad, I mean I don't have to retype my my user name or my pass because it saves those

Set up seperate user accounts for different people sharing the same computer. Then you could keep private data cached without worrying about others getting into it.

Also if you are that concerned about privacy, make sure if you use Firefox to have "master password" set. Otherwise your Danbooru login info is stored in cleartext and anyone could get into it.

You might want to look at getting yourself a U3 thumbdrive which you could keep all your personal data on.

-edit-

I was just randomly logged out while using the site for the second time in as many days when normally I stay logged in pretty much forever. Had the login form changed recently, since firefox failed to fill in the password?
