Keep Session Login if Browser was closed and newly opened
Please describe your idea in detail. What is your problem, why do you feel this idea is the best solution, etc.
If the browser with an active Netwrix Password Secure session was closed and newly opened, a new login must be done (Database, Username, Password, MFA). An option is already available, but only for browser refresh (dont force a new login entra id) and only for specific user (no global setting for this available). For user convenience, it would be advantageous if the session (authenticated with entra id account) remained logged in even after completely closing and reopening the browser.
How do you currently solve the challenges you have by not having this feature?
We would also highly appreciate this feature.
In our environment, users log in via on-prem AD, and being forced to fully re-authenticate after every browser restart is inconvenient for daily use. A configurable option to keep the session active even after closing and reopening the browser would greatly improve usability, while still allowing organizations to decide based on their own security policies.
Thanks for the input. That may be true, but only as long as a browser tab is open somewhere. If you close all browser tabs, it still logs you out of the add-in as well (tested with Google Chrome).
I’m referring to the separate Autofill Add-In application. I log in to it once in the morning, and after that, I can close the browser as many times as I like—the plugin remains automatically logged in. This works in Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and Brave.
I’m just not entirely sure if this also works for a pure light user, since they typically no longer have a client installed.
Oh, you mean the app that would need to be installed. We’re currently only working with the web browser, so that wouldn’t work for us this way. Still, thanks for the heads-up!
We haven’t rolled out the Autofill add-on because it’s a huge effort to keep over 2,000 devices up to date, rather than simply rolling out a web application.
