What is the Remember Me feature for?
|
The Remember Me function allows you to avoid having to enter your username and password every time you want to log onto Nexopia.com.

It sets a Cookie on your computer that Nexopia reads whenever you come to the site. The Cookie identifies you as you so you do not need to enter your username and password.
Remember that unless you Logout by clicking the Logout link, anyone using that computer can then log into your account.
If you are using a Public (school, work, etc) or Shared (at home with family) computer, be very careful about using Remember Me as it could allow someone else access to your account.

What is Secure Session when I log in?
|
Secure Session helps protect you from people hijacking your Nexopia session.
In technical terms, it locks your session to your IP address so that even with the Session ID, someone will not be able to take over your Session.
Should you use it? If you can, yes. It doesn't take 2 seconds to tick an extra box, so why not?
