observer Posted February 6, 2017 Report Share Posted February 6, 2017 I noticed an unwanted operation of Mx5 (5.0.2.1000 and 5.0.2.1400 versions at least). When I exit Maxthon via tray icon or close the application with task manager, or in case of power interrupt, or when it crashes (i.e. in case of abnormal termination) Mx5 doesn't ask for login at next start. I don't know how it can be used, but it's a real bypass of logging in. Sorry, maybe I'm bad, but I didn't find any similar topic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BugSir006 Posted February 8, 2017 Report Share Posted February 8, 2017 Hi there, I think this auto login function is designed like this. And I've tested with Chrome, Firefox and other browsers, my account will auto login every time I restart my computer, exit from the system tray, after a power interrupt. I suppose that most people have to enter a password when starting your pc, and any sensitive and private information are saved in Passkeeper (in the case of Maxthon), and it requires password when you access it. So the risk is relatively low. BTW, I've talked with our account manager. If you want to make sure no one can access your account. You can 1, untick the "auto login" option the first time you login Maxthon account, or 2, log out your account before you exit Maxthon. Hope my answer helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
observer Posted February 8, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2017 1) I don't use auto login. 2) in case of abnormal shutdown of Mx or system, it's imposible to log out. 3) with autofill & cookies, it's not nesseccery to view passwords in Passkeeper.

BugSir006 Posted February 8, 2017 Report Share Posted February 8, 2017 Hi observer, please make sure you untick these two options when you log in, or the Auto-login option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
observer Posted February 8, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2017 I wrote above I don't use the auto-login option. And "Remember password" checkbox is unchecked as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7twenty Posted February 8, 2017 Report Share Posted February 8, 2017 Just tested this again with the latest internal release. It seems that this is no longer an issue. After force closing using task manager, you always get the user selection or password prompt screen on restarting Maxthon. Hopefully it will be publicly released shortly.
