Adsense login behaviour changed

Goes straight to stats without asking for my password

[oddsod]

Previously when I looked at stats and closed the window I was logged out automatically. That seems to have changed. Now when I open a new window and go to the login page .... it doesn't show the login page, it goes straight to displaying stats!

Arrghhh! Must remember to log out now, not just close the window.

oddsod, I also noticed if I don't log out of AdSense when I go to Google search I am logged in.

I had strange things happening when trying to log in to Adsense yesterday (Feb 26).

It threw an error: "You do not currently have an Adsense account. Click this link to setup a new account.", or something to that effect.

Google is remembering too much these days , otherday i just ran into Search history feature and guess what it had all those search i did since ages :)

i cleared up those offcourse and disabled it

if you are having google toolbar it will remember everthing you do by default

This is not a new stuff. I’m using this since last 6+ months. If you login using gmail or other google service and click on Remember me on this computer button it will remember your adsense login. To avoid this problem login to gmail and say logout or just visit google.com and say logout

When I logged in this morning, I saw the url went into a sessionid. Now, the url has tacked on a .../adsense/login3

That's new to me.

Now, the url has tacked on a .../adsense/login3

Yep. I noticed this as well after I received that weird error.

I also never noticed the "I cannot access my account" link below the Sign-In button. Is that new?

celgins, I believe I've seen that before.

But, there seem to be login problems with Adsense at the mo. And with login to other Google services.

Can not login at this momemnt.

Sorry, service is currently not available. Please try again later.

The boys at the plex were trying to change something and they broke Adsense!

[celgins]

What would be funny, is if the guys at the Plex broke Adsense on purpose -- just to get WW folks and millions of others riled up. :)

Of course they wouldn't do that since one million+ incoming phone calls isn't desirable.

AdSense, AdWords, GMail, and most other Google services seem to remember you if you're already "cookied", and log you in automatically. The only service I've noticed that doesn't is Google Analytics. But, one can get in via the "backdoor" by going first to Google AdWords, and then clicking the "Analytics" tab. :) I'd prefer that it automatically log me in at Analytics, though, to save 1 click.

OK, login behaviour has returned to normal. It was obviously something they didn't intend long term (or maybe it was a bug or a test).
