Eon next - Too clever by half

dogshome

As I'm sure as other regulars do I monitor the bills of friends and family, which totals 4 accounts to keep a close eye on, all of which were swept into Eon Next as the SoLR.

All seemed well at the start as with all the Email addresses and Passwords to hand, I could access any account to download the bills and track D/D payments, but that has now changed.

Eon have installed a Cookie on my computer that recognises me as soon as I hit the log in button, and without asking for an Email address or password, opens my account - Yes it saves time, but not very secure and the cookie will not let me open any other account.

The only way to defeat this to visit another account is to clear all the cookies on the computer, but then the cookie re-asserts itself and you can only open the friend/family account you have just visited

So the regime of doing a monthly check on all the accounts is:

Check my own/clear cookies - Check friend/clear cookies - Check daughter/clear cookies- Check DIL/clear cookies - Re-establish own account and all the other sites I want and that includes the MSE forum

Different browser for each account you monitor? Or incognito mode in chrome etc (as stated below👍)

You can either try secret mode or have a browser which you wipe each time you use it if a browser for each account takes up too much space on your system.

1.  Use the browser Incognito mode - cookies auto cleared on exit of browser Incognito window.

2.  Log out and then over-type an alternative e-mail and password in the boxes - seemed to work for me (but I only have one Eon Next account) and was inputting a 'random@madeup.com' e-mail address...  EOn, naturally couldn't find an account or log me in.

Just log out and when the log in screen comes back log in with the other account details.

Yes, use secret mode / private browsing / incognito mode or whatever your choice of browser calls it. That usually works!

No problems running 2 accounts here (FF98 / W10) as long as I log out each time

As per others - use secret/private/incognito mode in your browser.

Or use different browsers for each.

You can also (eg. Firefox) create different "Profiles", which each store their own logins & cookies; I use that all the time.

You can do "firefox -P" to open the profile manager and create profiles "eon-daughter", "eon-dil", "eon-friend", etc. or whatever you'd like to call them, and then do "firefox -p eon-daughter" etc. to open the given profile.

If on a Chromium Browser, use Cookie AutoDelete & LastPass addons. Job done.
