Although the auto-login feature on Canvas can be useful, there may be instances where you would rather enter your login information manually each time you visit the site. This could be due to security concerns or sharing a computer with others. In this blog post, we will provide instructions on how to disable the automatic login feature on Canvas.

Clearing Browser Cookies

The most common reason Canvas logs you in automatically is because your web browser has stored cookies from the site. Here’s how to clear your cookies on various popular web browsers:

Google Chrome:

  1. Open Chrome and click the three dots at the top right corner, then select More Tools > Clear Browsing Data.
  2. In the pop-up window that appears, ensure that ‘Cookies and other site data’ is selected.
  3. Click Clear Data.

Firefox:

  1. Open Firefox and click the three lines at the top right corner, then select Options > Privacy & Security.
  2. Scroll down to ‘Cookies and Site Data’, then click Clear Data.
  3. Ensure ‘Cookies and Site Data’ is selected, then click Clear.

Disable Auto-Fill

Your browser may also be auto-filling your login credentials. You can disable this by following these steps:

Google Chrome:

  1. Open Chrome and click the three dots at the top right corner, then select Settings.
  2. Scroll down to Autofill, then click Passwords.
  3. Turn off the switch next to ‘Offer to save passwords’.

Firefox:

  1. Open Firefox and click the three lines at the top right corner, then select Options.
  2. Select Privacy & Security, then scroll down to ‘Logins and Passwords’.
  3. Uncheck the box next to ‘Ask to save logins and passwords for websites’.

In conclusion, by clearing your browser’s cookies and turning off the auto-fill feature, you should be able to stop Canvas from automatically logging you in. This not only ensures your privacy but also keeps your account safe from unauthorized access.
