I have to wipe my computer
 

I have to wipe my computer. It's either now or later when i have even more accounts. But this means new cookies. And that means thats not good. I remember when i logged into my friends account that he has been using for the past year with the same cookies and i logged in on my comp with new cookies and soon as i logged in they asked to verify phone again. Does anyone know if they do this every time? And are there any other risks that i am not aware of when doing this?

Must re-install windows. But that means new cookies on all accounts
 

Sorry for having 2 threads on this in 2 different places but i need some advice/input asap. I need to wipe my computer today. Friend went online to some stupid websites and got me a virus and malware and who else knows what.

I sign in two of my ebay accounts with no cookies each time I log in... Was never asked to confirm anything

You clear your cookies before each login?

Yeah, well they are old ebay accounts that I never bothered to make windows user accounts for... I clean all cookies after I log in and out of those two accounts.. No problems

Hopefully it works for me without any problems too. I never delete my cookies. But thanks for posting.

I think you'll be ok. Maybe it is different with you normally saving cookies though. Good luck anyway

Yeah that is what worries me a bit. Hopefully other people will chime in.

No.

I recently set up a new laptop. I have sixteen user accounts on it. No verification on any accounts.

I would suggest just logging into each account (do nothing like withdraw money in pp or list on eBay). Log out - job done.

Do you use Firefox? If so, you can use Febe to save the coookies and copy them over when you're done wiping it.

Ahhhhhhh thank you lakeman!!!!:hail:

you had these 16 accounts on a different comp before right?

i switched stations many time and only had this problem once. Acct was used overseas and than i had to log into it from US and got that verify thing, but everything in US never triggered any verification.

Wouldn't it only do that if your logging in from literally the other side of the world?

You can save and transfer cookies depending what browser you use.

Very easy with Firefox.

Not now. You know better than that to just make a thread wherever you want just because you want.

It's all merged now and in the subscribers' area. Be mindful next time of how you post :boink:

It's better to keep everything on the one topic together for answers to be related.

For starters, never let a 'friend' access your computer. Look what has happened.

Now you have to tidy everything up.:doh:

Do all that B4 you attempt to fix your cookies:typing:

Quick read of that might give some more insight :pop2:

Sowwyyy gweenbean :( Needed some advice/solution asap. Won't make 2 same threads again. I pwomise! :D

I get the question when I clear cookies now and then. It's a question I answered when I formed the account. I put down the answer in my acct info file just in case.
Example: Where did you grow up etc...
