[dev-neuridia] A Problem Scenario - User Names & Passwords

[Muizudeen Kusimo]

Hello Again,

Sorry, I forgot to include the user names and passwords.

They are:

user1, pass1
user2, pass2
user3, pass3

You can try any of these combinations on the URL below.

Cheers.

In this part of the world, many people make use of Cyber Cafe's because it's often cheaper to do so. A typical scenario will have two friends (Bola and Ade) both sitting at a computer system having only IE (maybe vs 5, 6 or 7) and both of them attempt logging in to Nueridia via different browser windows or tabs just to save limited time/money.

If this happens on Yahoo! Mail for example, the email system logs both of them out (because they are using the same User Agent and the same machine) and prompts the person who logged in first to VERIFY his/her password.

If we leave this unchecked, our email system may be perceived as buggy because browsers respond to this situation differently.

There is a proof-of-concept demo here http://www.inspaya.com/client-projects/for_tope/

I have tested in Firefox, Opera, IE and emulated Netscape.
