Retail Express is a cloud-based software program, which means to use it you will need to use an internet browser on your computer. These browsers offer the ability to save a password so that you don't have to re-enter it every time. This is a security risk when you have multiple users on a single computer.
Important: Storing Retail Express passwords in your browser can be a
security risk and provide unauthorised access to your system.
- Security Risk - Other staff can potentially log in with a pre-filled password through an Administrator account, providing more access within Retail Express than they are entitled to.
- Complications when logging in - If the password has been changed the browser may have retained the old password, causing difficulty logging into the POS (this may even affect your ability to trade).
To ensure this is turned off or to remove existing records that have been saved in password fields and forms, please follow the steps below for your applicable browser.
