Ubuntu 23.04 latest firefox. I always logout from paypal. That means I need to login to paypal when I want to.

When I go to paypal, I only click the login because it seems the browser remembers the password and puts that in the password box

 

Tofay, when I went  to https://www.stacksocial.com/sales/microsoft-windows-11-pro? and click Paypal to pay, it went directly into my account and shows the credit card option,  and all personal information ? How is that possible ?

 

There must be something wrong . normally after logout of a site the session/token in the cookies should be invalidated,  but it seems that did not happen after logout form paypal. I believe this is a major privacy and security issue anyone using the PC could just buy something with my account when I am logged out form payal ? Think about what this would mean fo computers shared with multiple people ?   The only way would be to delete all cookies , that is not something you normally do every day.

 

I disabled AUTO LOGIN in paypal settings, but that site still can directly go into paypal account.
