Moving to a New PC

Aguero · #1 11-18-2018

Hi guys,

I am operating two stealth accounts using separate user accounts with Firefox portable on Win 7. What I read here, the most important when moving to is moving cookies and history files to the new PC.

How can I do this properly and do I miss something else that is important ?

Thanks in advance.

I never did all that.. I just started logging in to the account on the new device gradually. I would check in on things in eBay and paypal. I wouldn’t move money or re list but just log in. As I got comfortable I would do all normal activity. I’m not advising that you do this YMMV and I can afford the loss of an account when doing this.. I’m just saying it’s doable.

Thank you.

Yes, as I read here this is an option too. But takes time and some kind of risk. eBay and/or PayPal can send text or want call to check if the account it's not stolen.

I assumed you had the phones for these accounts. Yes you may be asked to receive a call or text. Once you do that then your really good to go.. not really time consuming at all.

If its FireFox portable just put the folder onto a USB stick and transfer it over to the new PC

just update the phones on the accounts BEFORE you use new computer.
simple

Thanks for all replies and help too

I put the old HDD on a new computer with Paragon Adaptive Restore 2010 help. Old mobo died.

Logging into 2 eBay accounts - without issues yet.
Logging into 2 PayPal accounts - "Confirm your mobile number for extra security". There is options to change the number or skip it.

Is there a risk to change the number with new ?

Somehow they know that I'm logging in from another device, regardless of the same HDD, Windows, user accounts and browser

Something must not have moved over. I get the feeling that restore tool you used doesn't transfer everything.

You could change the number, and verify like that. Ideally you'd want to make any changes from the initial computer/device.

For the future, it's best to have phone numbers active in case the computer dies, imo.

Best to have a phone number active, always.

Randomly when sending payments, or withdrawing to bank, PayPal can ask to verify your number. Sometimes you wont even have the option to change that number, if you're locked out for example.

You can move the cookies. There is a folder where your browsers saves all the cookies. Do a search for ‘cookies folder’

Aguero · #18 11-22-2018

You can move the cookies if the PC isn't dead. It is Portable Firefox and you need to move the whole FFP folder.

Correct.

Nice to see how only a while back you were asking all the questions, and now you're here helping others.

Ahh yes that's true, sorry I misread that your PC is dead.

Anyways good luck!
