Router doesn't log me out and security question
My router is an RAX50v2 with Firmware Version V1.1.4.28_2.1.26. It seems that the Router does not log me out when I click the logout option under my user account icon in the upper left. After I click...
It's the Bitwarden password manager extension. Usually, if the autofill-on-page-load option is selected (mine is), the creds are entered in the login fields as asterisks and I must click OK. However, with the router login, for some reason, login is fully automatic and the router page opens without displaying the masked creds or requiring my OK. I may question the Bitwarden forum about this, although it really isn't a big deal or a security risk.
And because the Bitwarden extension loads as Chrome starts, it gives the impression that the router login creds survived a system reboot. They really didn't.
OK, great to know about MS Edge and Chrome. Let us know if you find out anything with Chrome extensions.

Interesting find. Glad you figured it out.
I guess you don't need to FR then.
- Actually, Birwarden is superb. The issue jere isn't really a problem. And I always fix my Bitwarden setup to prevent it.
That was one of the first thing I tried when the issue first arose. My phone, using chrome, requires creds to login to the router. Bitwarden is rather bulletproof. I have it on my phone, but use it only on a case by case basis; it doesn't stay open very long, like my Chrome extension does.
