Account Transfer

Open in a new tab

Overview

The page shows which account this browser is signed in as and issues a transfer code (an ID and a password) for it. Entering that code in another browser signs that browser in as the same account. All showroom demos in one browser share the account, so after a take-over the other demos show the original account’s data as well.

How to try it

  1. The top of Your transfer code reads This browser is signed in as …, naming this browser’s account. Until a code is issued, the ID line shows None issued yet.
  2. Press Issue a transfer code; an ID like demo-XXXX-XXXX and a password like XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX appear. The password is shown only this once, so press Copy the ID and password.
  3. Open this demo in another browser (or a private window) and enter the ID and password under Take over another browser’s account, or use Paste the ID and password.
  4. Press Take over that account; the page reloads and that browser is now signed in as the original account.
  5. If the password is lost, press Delete and reissue in the original browser: the old code stops working and a new one is issued.

The account a browser used before a take-over cannot be reached from it again, so a private window is the safest place to try it.

GS2 services used

  • GS2-Account: GS2-Account stores the transfer ID and a hash of the password as a take-over setting. Taking over returns the credentials of the account the code belongs to, so another browser can sign in as it.
