deansatch Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 I have built a cms with a pretty secure login which only I will be using. I wanted to add some extra security and make it so that it can only be accessed from one physical PC. My ip changes every few days so I can't really trust that method. Is there some way I can identify my own PC so that any other computer that opens the login page will be rejected access automatically? Does the computer have it's own unique id that php can access?

Zane Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 perhaps a cookie? Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/169896-unique-pc-identifier/#findComment-896269 Share on other sites More sharing options...
deansatch Posted August 12, 2009 Author Share Posted August 12, 2009 Could you elaborate on that please? Also, how long will the cookie survive? What happens when I clear my cookies or my AV software does a cleanup etc...?
