Aura HD Problem: Web browser forgetting authentication on Google

dclauzel · 09-30-2013, 05:20 PM

I am using the web browser for a few limited things, like checking my private messages on Twitter, and my email.

The authentication on Twitter works fine: the cookie keeps me connected between uses.

But Google doesn't trust me when I come back: I am disconnected from gmail. The login form is pre-filed with my login, so there is at least one cookie that is ok, but I would prefer to still being connected : typing a 30+ chars password is annoying as Hell.

I am not sure where the problem is. My Google account works as expected on my computers, but not on the Aura HD.

Am I the only one to have this problem? My Google account is a "Google for business" one, with custom domain name.

It's not the answer you want, but do you really require a 30+ character password? If what you're protecting is that secure you shouldn't probably risk communicating through a device made by a Japanese owned Canadian based company with only regular security protocols...

Perhaps Google only allows short term cookies for passwords, or likely not at all for passwords. It seems to me I have to type mine in all the time and it's only 13 characters with some numerals thrown in.

Yes, I do. Not just me, but everybody. SSL — correctly done — is fine.

Nop. With other web browsers — on computer — the session stays between shutdowns, changes of location etc.

But on my Aura HD, I get disconnected.

Must be a Kobo issue then, I wish you success in direct measure to the seriousness of the issue. If it is a Kobo issue then I am certain it will be resolved with the typical verve, sagacity, and speed which they devote to all their issues. Translation: even a pearl diver hasn't the breath control required, so don't even attempt holding yours... Good luck.
