Everyone logs in as my user by default

[joggs 24]

Hi,

I am using Emby Server 3.2.28.3 beta on windows 10 pro.

Everyone (ie any anonymous user with a browser) that visits http://<embyserver>:8096 gets logged in as me by default. The loginscreen flashes by for a millisecond and then the user gets to the dashboard immediately as me. I am the only user set up in the system. Doesn't matter what browser brand or computer or ip adress. 

 

Is there any obvous things I can check before a re installation? Will an uninstall wipe the library and all settings? I rather keep them if possible.

I am still searching around for a setting that I could try to alter, but nothing found yet.

If you are the only user, and that user has no password, there is no need for a login screen

 

Do you have a password set? Are there multiple user accounts on your emby server?

Agree w/ @@darkassassin07.  But there's no need to reinstall.  Just create a new user (for yourself),   make sure you set a password, grant it admin privileges, then disable the other user.  Once you can confirm you can log in and manage the server via the dashboard, remove the other user.

Jeez. I didn't have a password set! I was so sure I did, that I didn't even consider it to be thae cause of the problem :-)

 

I really appreciate your fast replies. And what a quick fix! Thanks guys.
