How to disable SSO login?
Hi here! I'm happy owner of Netgear WAC124 access point. Firmware Version V1.0.4.4 When setup first time I've created netgear account and registered the product. But on next logins it always re...
Hi, I contacted Netgear support about this topic.
This is the answer:
> I am sorry but the SSO was intentionally designed for the WAC124 and there is nothing to fix about it.
What I also discovered about SSO page is that it exposes login information to 3rd party domains like gigya.com, googletagmanager.com, google-analyticss.com, doubleclick.net. Request to those domains includes your device serial number! You can check in browser dev tools about that.
Netgear support answered to that:
> These are to check if there is any system downtime internally in the background and some of them are for google analytics which they have configured to trace the logs of users. Google analytics is basically to track the number of users visiting accounts portal login screen, signup screen, 2FA screen, login settings screens. Apart from it, we don't track users personal information as per the Privacy Policy of NETGEAR
I'm not sure how this behaviour could comply with privacy policy.
But in any case I don't agree with that and decided to return my device and swtich to normal brand instead of using Netgear.
NetGear msut not be paying attention to security. The security breaches we are hearing about on the news involve hacks to centralized services like NetGear is pushing on people. Way to weaken customer's network security NetGear. :golfclap:
