AX-88 - Auto Logout sometimes not working

[Teddyz]

I just want to mention that Auto Logout from the web-interface sometimes does not work. It is set at 30 minutes, but I did not have to log in after a day, where my computer had been hibernating most of the time.
This has been seen in earlier releases by me and it has been mentioned by user @K-2SO for another release/branch.

Q: Is this a security risk?

Firmware Version:386.1_beta5

Did you close the browser? Which browser (i.e. Chrome never 'shuts down' it seems)?

What firmware version? What OS?

 

[Teddyz]

Nope, I did not close the Firefox browser on Win7. But the computer was hibernating for many hours. For this question I think the browser and operating system is less relevant. I say that all security shall be at the server-side.

Security is a user issue too. Always close the browser and hold down Shift while pressing the Shut Down button too if you don't want credentials cached.

Thanks. My question was regarding if the bug in router software poses a security risk.

Again, (maybe I'm wrong?), I don't think this is a bug in the router/firmware.

If I log into my bank, navigate away from the page, and go back, it will just show the balances.

IF however, I log out and close the browser, then navigate back to my bank, it asks for a password. Many examples like this.

If a bank can't 'fix' this user-induced error, I don't see how firmware can?
