We have two computers in our house and have high speed. One night I was on Facebook on the second computer and didn't log off. Somehow the other party was able to access my page and wasn't happy with what they saw.
I went back to the second computer, logged off, changed the password and they can still see my activity, even when I log off on the first computer. Somehow, they can even have access to my Page when they make an entry into a search engine, which I believe is Google Chrome. I just removed Chrome from the first computer, hoping that is the end of the problem.
Any thoughts or suggestions on how I can stop the second computer from having access to my Page?
I logged off of Facebook on the second computer. We don't share the same computer accounts. I think my profile shows up when the party on the second computer uses Google Chrome.
If you need more information please let me know. Thanks.
Using a separate account should block the data sharing. It sounds like perhaps you logged into FB using the other persons computer account once, and it just stayed logged in. Maybe they didn't' shutdown/logoff the computer and you sat down and logged into FB while logged into the OS as them?
Poor quality FB password?
Using Apple products with SSL problems?
No using SSL to login to FB?
There area myriad of ways, accidental and 'nefarious'.
You say "I think my profile shows up when the party on the second computer uses Google Chrome.", that's a lot of supposing. Knowing your FB 'name' I could have your profile show up on my computer easy enough... your profile on FB is public (at least many parts of it). The question is are they logged in as you. If you change your FB password (and the FB programmers aren't total morons.. not saying that's true though) that should break any existing login cookies that might be sitting around on the other users session.
Sharing computers isn't always as easy as just setting up multiple accounts, you need to control any administrator accounts and setup security so that users don't share what they don't want to share.
