One-click access to Adsense stats?

I have a link to my Adsense stats set up on my desktop with my username/password embedded in it. Leaving aside the wisdom of this approach from a security viewpoint, this worked fine every day for a couple of years and stopped working a few hours ago. Now I get dumped back at the login page (I can still log in "manually")

Has anyone else noticed a change? If so, does anyone know the structure of the new "instant login" URL we'd need to use?

My Firefox Adsense plugin no longer works. They must have changed something with the login script again.

Still working fine for me (for now anyhow). Here's what I use:

<form name="form1" method="post" action="https://www.google.com/adsense/login.do">
<input type="hidden" name="username" value="your email address here">
<input type="hidden" name="password" value="your password here">
<input type="hidden" name="destination" value="">
</form>
<script>document.form1.submit();</script>

Yeah seems something has changed today. There are some new reporting features and now you get 200 channels... So it seems like they have made some updates, and the API is not sorted out, as the adsense plug-in on the new google desktop does not seem to work for a lot of people either.

Mine wasn't working this morning, but I have just downloaded an update and it is working fine now.

I have managed to stop myself looking every five minutes ;) Down to about 3 times a day now. Not sure if I want one click access - i might get addicted again!

The Adsense Notifier for Firefox have been updated already. Wodnerfull little gem that displays all the info in the statusbar of FF and opens the page with a right click in a new focussed tab.

Based on 2oddSox form (which works), one click access url should be:
[google.com...]

but it redirects me to the main adsense page.
What is wrong with this url, and what would be the correct one?

Thanx

2oddSox is doing a POST, you're doing a GET, that might be the reason depending on how strict the google form validation code is.

So it's not possible to have a Hotlink URL anymore for Adsense?

Used to be a big time saver as I login several times a week to pick up the code + check stats.

where do you put this?

<form name="form1" method="post" action="https://www.google.com/adsense/login.do">
<input type="hidden" name="username" value="your email address here">
<input type="hidden" name="password" value="your password here">
<input type="hidden" name="destination" value="">
</form>
<script>document.form1.submit();</script>

Take the code, put it in a html file like myadsense.html. Then replace your user and password, save it to your disk c:\myadsense.html (or any place you like). Now use your windows explorer an double-click it, you are in!.

Now you can even create shortcut in your desktop or save it as one of your favorite links.
