If so, either say yes (if you want it to store it) or never, if you don't. Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think my cat is smart enough to type that out with her paws. I cleared history and some other things last night. It popped up again just now. I log in fine with my stored real Alamy password, and when I'm exiting, the weird password I'd never use (massive security hazard) pops up and asks me if I want to save it. I turn on view password and yep, the massively insecure password again. Edited April 22 by Rebecca Ore newest info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin L Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 I'm still not convinced all is well in the 'Measures' world. My zooms have suddenly shot up but a lot look suspiciously like the ones reported last month Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Recently my saved password for Alamy popped up wrong every single time I signed in. It was just off one letter, .coc instead of .com. Drove me nuts because I couldn’t correct the one letter but had to retype the whole string. I went into the passwords & looked at them. I found some for Alamy in all caps, some beginning with one capital letter, & such. Plus the one that kept popping up. I deleted them all except the proper one. It’s all working like it should again. On my iPad, I might mention. Edited April 22 by Betty LaRue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My zooms have suddenly shot up but a lot look suspiciously like the ones reported last month I agree things aren’t normal. I had 4 views for yesterday. Maybe measures were corrected for ONE DAY then went back to the status quo. A bandaid applied to our grumbles but no real long-term fix. You’d think I was the IT person or something, and that would be a disaster only shades worse than what we’re seeing. Okay….not really. I surely would be better….🙃😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rebecca Ore Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 13 hours ago, M.Chapman said: What OS and Browser are you using? Mark Windows 11, Firefox. My cat isn't capable of typing the alphabet in consecutive letters on my standard keyboard. The warning is to always show the password in a popup that wants you to accept a new password. And never never use abcdefg or 1234567 as a password (that numerical one might be within my cat's capabilities, but the alphabet chain isn't. This wasn't "how do I fix this" -- it was a warning to anyone who might just click on such a thing. Last time, it went away after a while. I believe the other time was also an alphabet string. This is a heads up to users if they see something similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David eastley Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 You were lucky I had just 2 views. No zooms for ages, I agree Alexander it is just not worth checking. Come on Alamy this is a vital tool for us, why not fix it ?? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My zooms and views are now into low two digits and have been like that for more than a week. Fortunately sales are about average but I have not had one for 5 days now. 😞 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
