Why do I see someone elses NetID in the login box?
The previous user did not log out out of the login service. When Logout of NetID is selected on the Application Logout page (or some other way you do a logout from the login service, for example, clicking “Log out” from the My UW-Madison Portal), the logged-in user is removed. If a session simply expires, or an application requests re-authentication (such as My UW-Madison), you will see the NetID of the previously (or currently) logged-in person. If you do see someone else’s NetID in the login box, the best thing to do is completely close your browser (all windows) or to clear your cookies.
