Is there any way to prevent the user name and password showing in the URL on login on to livestats stats.
I have spoken to them and they said that is the way it is.
What is the point in setting up users?
If a customer checks their stats on a public computer the URL will be stored in the History, giving access to the customers stats and their password.
Would like to hear if anyone has secured this.
Thanks

Yea, I've seen this too on v6. I asked why they just didn't POST the information instaead of GETing it. Reply wasn't helpful.

I tried to have the URL masked by forwarding serverside. Didn't work out well. I'll keep trying and let you know if I have any success.

Yea. Dumb isn't it.

V6 is VERY good. Mad how they have let just that one silly thing really bring it down.
