Hello all, I have just activated Call Control and find it to be very useful. I especially like the call log it keeps and would like to access it daily. Once logged in however, is there any way to s...
It's a big security risk to keep your account session active. The My Telus account has access to your mobile phone number and that's used for 2 factor authentication for many services like your bank accounts, PayPal, email services, etc. A stolen device with an active session to My Telus account would be big trouble.
Hi, thanks for the comment. I would, as you say, not want such a thing
on a portable device that could be lost or stolen but if used only on a
home PC, as in my case, it would be less risky I would think. In any
case, it appears there is no such option (to stay logged in) so it's
only of academic interest.
I have noticed that there is a "rapid log in" option available that I at
first glance thought would help but it is a one time only process that
has to be re-enabled after each use so is not very helpful.
All in all, I'm not sure this Call Control thing is going to be of net
benefit as I also wonder what happens with web sites that use the phone
to send a code number for login authentication. Maybe I'll just turn
off the phone ringer like I did before. 🙂
