There is a catastrophic bug in Chrome’s password manager, where it confuses and overwrites passwords belonging to websites whose URLs use different sub-domains of the same domain name. For example, when you use two entirely different login pages, such as https://www.example.com/wp-login.php and https://cameo.example.com/login, you can lose the password for the former. It is possible to persuade Chrome to get this right, but it takes a little effort. Read More…
Login improvements to “Remember me” and two-step verification
Remember Me on login now remembers each computer/browser you use independently. It also no longer stops remembering you if you change networks, provided the IP address is one we have seen before.

If you lose access to your two-step verification (aka two factor authentication, or 2FA) app, Cameo now offers two alternative methods for the second verification.
If you log in from an IP address we have not seen before, Cameo now sends you an email to let you know (so if it wasn’t you, we can do something about it). Read More…

Two-factor authentication exceptions
When using Cameo’s two-factor authentication, you can now make exceptions on your own computer. This means you get almost all the security advantages of 2FA (if someone gets hold of your password, they can’t log in somewhere else without the second-factor number) but without the inconvenience of having to enter the magic number each time you log in.
