Logging in and out of the web server

Hi, it seems like once I’ve logged into the web server from my laptop, I can close the browser, reset the board, and when I browse back to the web server I don’t have to log in again, i.e. I think the board is remembering that my laptop IP address has already logged in.  But I don’t see anything like that in the code.  Also, if I wanted to log out from my laptop, could I ?  Thanks

The web browser saves the cache information and it automatically stays logged it. With the current method, the only way to logout it to clear the cache in the web browser. You might also consider using the web browser in incognito mode when your in a device that you don’t want to remember the credentials…

Ah, so it’s the browser doing the remembering, not the board. Thanks !

Exactly! Anyone that tries to access the board in a different device (or web browser) will have to re-enter the password. Regards,
