Although to be fair, BA doesn’t exactly help itself.
For example, for me, if I log into my BA account, look at my personal information, then log out. If I then log in as another person in the household, then go to personal information, I see my’s information there.
If I log out, close the browser and then then go back in as the second person, and change their email address, then log out and close the browser, if I try to log in as the first user, I get a message saying I haven’t validated the new email address of the second user.
Basically a security nightmare; seems their session cookie management is broken. Do others see this?
This happens to me as well, although I haven’t logged on three times. However I go into my own account, do what I need to do, then log out and go into my OH’s account (he has the voucher that opens up extra availability) and it brings up all my details, which is most frustrating and a bit worrying. even though I am using his email and password.
I actually log out again, shut my system down, turn off the computer and turn it back on again. Then it works.
As you say a security nightmare.
