nav[aria-label="Primary Navigation"] { padding: 0; & ul { list-style: none; width: 100%; display: flex; flex-direction: row; justify-content: start; align-items: start; gap: 30px; padding: 0; & li { margin: 0; } & ul li { list-style: none; } } }

Is there a way to stop the constant popup to enter admin password?

I understand this is a good security feature, but it get annoying when you ARE the admin and you have to type your password like every click. I would thought 4.4 woudl fix this problem, but I guess I was a bit too hopeful. If there is something I am missing, please let me know b/c it is driving me insane when I try to setup from workflow to fields and have to enter teh password...again.

Thanks in advance.

This is called websudo. Here's the documentation on how to disable it:

The purpose of the Secure Administrator Sessions feature is to help prevent XSRF attacks against administrative URLs. Please keep this in mind when disabling it! :-)

When a security measure prompts the question "how do I disable it" (from a legitimate user), it's failed.

Valid point, Nic.:-)

I wasn't trying to defend the feature from criticism, just pointing out that it does serve a purpose and that you should consciously weigh up security vs. convenience when choosing to disable it.

Microsoft still beats Atlassian on the "annoying security prompt scale", though: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VuqZ8AqmLPY
