Garmin Connect keeps logging me in to other people's accounts

One more observation:

Even when I am not logged in, I can go into "myConnect" and bukittimah's account will be there for me to view - Dashboard, Activities, Calendar, Health, etc., even though I "Sign Out" of bukittimah's account, I can still go back to Dashboard, Activities, etc., to view his account.

However, when I go to "Settings", it shows my settings, and there is no way I can sign out of that.

You are seeing a cached version of the page that is being served up by either your ISP, company, or country from their proxy/firewall. This is because of an overzealous cache and a missing cache directive from Garmin. Garmin can fix this by adding "Cache-Control: private" in the HTTP response header (http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec14.html#sec14.9) for private Connect pages.

You can thwart the cache by adding a nonsense querystring to your request and trick the cache into thinking it's a different page. Add "?foo=[a random number]" to the end of the url for any page where you see someone else's content.

Example: http://connect.garmin.com/activities?foo=1234

Of course you may need to change the number to something else because once someone else behind the same caching proxy clicks this link you will see their cashed version.

Thanks Geary! It works, but it's a work around solution. Wish there was a permanent way to solve this.

Yes thanks Geary! I can confirm this worked for me as well! Be good if Garmin could pick up on this and somehow make it a permanent fix. I see this is only a Singapore issue so I am guessing the others having this issue are on Singnet as well? Whisky, you a singnet subscriber?

Hi Dashaun,

Indeed this has improved, thank you for listening. I have had one experience where after logging in I have found myself in someone else's calendar, but it has only happened once in the past two weeks. It has not happened since. So a vast improvement. Thank you!

Unfortunately for me it's the same as before - no improvement. It's till other people's account all the time :(

Yeah started happening to me again today. Ah well, we'll just have to get on with it as is.

Same thing happened to me. WTF is happening GARMIN?

If my activities get deleted by other rogue users, I swear I will bring up a class action lawsuit for breach of privacy of data!
