Yoono keeps logging me in to twitter
I manage two separate twitter accounts and when I log out of one to manage the other, yoono then logs me back into the other account.
This is quite a hassle, because I end up sending updates to the wrong account, even when I manage the account from twitter website, instead of yoono.

Inappropriate?Hi Todd. This is a feature of Yoono where the Twitter account configured in Yoono will allow a visit to Twitter.com to be auto-logged in to Twitter. It's due to how we handle authentication to Twitter.
There is currently no work around to this issue and my recommendation has been to use a different browser. I use Firefox for one account w/ Yoono and Safari for other browsing / logging into to a separate Twitter account.

Inappropriate?Adam's recommendation really isn't acceptable. Yonoo needs to fix this, because it makes it very frustrating to work with Twitter like this. -
Inappropriate?Hi Michael,
We do understand your concern, but unfortunately, this behavior is enforced by Twitter's API (not by us, actually) that keeps sending the authentication cookies back to your browser with each request.
We are working on finding a workaround for a future release. -
Inappropriate?Okay... if that's the case, why don't I have this problem with TwitterFox? I use both, but only see this behavior with Yoono.
-
Inappropriate?Very simply because they do not use the same authentication method : they ask you for your twitter login and password, and they store it locally.
Yoono does not ask for your password, which is safer for you.
Instead, Yoono uses the "oauth protocol", that requires you to log on a twitter page. Then twitter authorizes Yoono. That is the API with the cookie issue, which explains the behavior difference .
However, the work around is now ready and will be in release 6.2 shortly !
Thanks for your patience.
I’m confident
