fast and easy login option?
Greetings to all happy fastmailers!
Is there a faster route to loging in when not using the 'save password' option? I currently use the https://www.fastmail.fm/mail/login link and have to input my username while reading for the #th time that fastmail is the fastest on the planet and what options there exist for this Ferrari alternative. I recently figured out that https://www.fastmail.fm/mail/?FLN-UserName=***** might spare me from having to type my username, but does this always work? Ideally, I would like to see a login screen that is just that, a login screen, with a method to store the username in the http:// expression. In the knowledge that dreams come true @fastmail... |

If you use Mozilla or Netscape 7, you can have the browsers memorize it for you.

I like the Mozilla/Netscape password manager a lot. MYIE2 can memorize passwords too. Not quite as slick as Mozilla et al, but it works and it's simple enough to change it. I don't think it'll do multiple logins to the same form, though, which Mozilla does do. I think if you change login ID in MYIE2 it overwrites the old information.

There was a post a while back, when FastMail was changing stylesheets around, about making a "fast" login screen. Maybe there was even a URL suggested, but it wasn't active yet.

Well, yes, browsers store passwords, but the idea was to store
just usernames in http:// shortcuts, so that more than one user can login from the same computer. |

For the moment, bookmark this URL for a more minimal login screen.

Thanks Rob! BTW, another related problem that needs to be
addressed is the fact that when there is no password cookie stored, following a email link leads you to a "DON'T PANIC!" (session has expired) login screen (with FastCheck installed). |

related thing
someone (rob?) mentioned a while back the creation of a login page for people that were already customers that had little or no extra stuff besides the username and pwd box, something like login.fastmail.fm.
was just wondering if that was ever created? thanks, -reuben |

See the link I posted above. It's pretty close to a minimal login screen. Just a title bar, some news, and a login area.

Tagline?

Is that one of the official taglines? If not, it should be. Really cool. Best wishes, David P. |

Dave,
It's nothing official, I just made it up on the fly. Anyway, now that I re-read it I think it's pretty cool too Do you think anyone would mind a revival of the "Taglines - Have your say" (can't remember the exact title) thread? ==K== |
