This may be outside the EO web browser scope but it is an interesting issue. I have made code for playing back keystrokes etc against a website. This one works really well but I ran into an issue today.

The remote website added a security check so that I am emailed a temporary code. This only happens once. I can play it back in desktop after rebooting server and it will behave the same - no security check.

Now, when I am on the same server, I play back it back in the background through SYSTEM account (from a Windows service). Now the security check is there.

This makes me wonder. I am at the same computer. Same code. Different windows users. I do not think that remote web server can detect any difference unless there is some kind of cookie or file or similar. So where is this stored?

Hi,

By default, the cookies are stored in the current user's temp folder. So when you switch to a different user, it does change the temp folder and it can have an impact. You can override the default cookie folder by explicitly setting this property:

Hope this helps.

Thanks!
