Universal Autologin Script

Post by Brett »

After seeing a fairly new web service called PassPack (http://passpack.com/info/home/)

...which stores usernames and passwords, then allows each user to have one login to the PassPack, then PassPack automatically logs the user into his/her previously stored sites.

I thought this was a brilliant idea, but was concerned about the coherent security risks that came along with the idea. I determined that maybe, I could make my own script that - not as "clean" looking, but got the job done on my own website. This way, I would handle the security myself.

I've looked into some methods of autologin scripts, but have only found javascript that submits a form. What are my other options? Does anyone know how PassPack does this, or Bank Of America's "My Portfolio" completes the similar task?

Thanks,
Brett
