Auto login links via login.jsp with username and password in query string have stopped working
I have a number of hyperlinks for logging into various orgs that look like:
https://www.salesforce.com/login.jsp?pw={password}&un={username}
When I left work on Friday they were working fine. Today when I tried to use one I was redirected to https://login.salesforce.com rather than being logged in.
Why have these links of www salesforce com login stopped working?
You can try by dropping the login.jsp and put the query string after the slash:
https://login.salesforce.com/?un=daniel@example.com&pw=hunter12
Note: Wrapping the login process in this way, be VERY particular to use HTTPS!
