Hi guys :slight_smile: I am making an app for my paying customers but I just realized there is no way to prevent users to share their accounts. Even manually, it is impossible to understand who might be cheating or not because we only have email+timestamp when a user logs in. Is their a way to co…

This had been discussed here: [image] App Security Loophole - How to stop users from sharing login info I’m trying to figure out if there’s a way to add an additional layer of security to apps. I’ve built an app that has free content and VIP content that comes at an adde…

Hi Jeff, Thank you for your answer, I already read this other topic and were wondering if there was some workarounds especially with IPs/ MAC adresses.

You would have to go pro to get the kind of services you seek. Any hosting company would br able to block for a few extra dollars all signed in users if more than two persons using same email address.

@ifls No workarounds that I’m aware of. @Wiz.Wazeer what Pro feature would prevent an email from being used on multiple people’s devices? (This is assuming that the email owner would share out each pin for each sign in).

Ok, Jeff, what I meant was putting the app on a premium domain and then using the hosting companies services to track user by location. There are only 4 ways you can mask IP addresses. VPN, TOR, Proxy Server and Public WiFi. Unless the site being visited is a very private one (you know what I mean),…

Personally, I don’t think it would fair to ask Glide to police our Free apps. They already are doing us all a huge favour by providing us free app building tools to no doubt considerable expense to Glide. I am just grateful. Tx Glide!

Hi, If you know the OSI Model, MAC addresses are layer 2 addresses in a frame and IP addresses are layer 3 addresses in the packet. Only packets will cross a router and only IPs travel across internet Only devices belonging to same network can know/use MAC (hosts and switches) to send packets but…

Gvalero, I’m sure you are right comrade. My only observation would be that MAC addresses are not used for tracing ppl becz by law MAC addresses do not have to be registered with any central database. Therefore, no way of knowing who stole your laptop immediately. It’s a process. This NIC address can…

@Wiz.Wazeer I know what you mean. If there will be some blocking process, it will be using the IPs and not MACs Your router makes MAC filtering because is in the same network of devices controled by it (vía WiFi o wired) but beyond, it loses this capability. I have had this kind of problem and di…

Hi Jeff and Gvalero, and members. I’ve got some updates. I’ve added a birthday calculator to CALCULUS. this uses arrayformula to count the age in days, months and years, current age, next birthday, next age, days away from next age and a message confirming days remaining until a person’s next birth…
