Incognito Tab
Violeta Torigian
I've searched far and wide for an answer here and have never run into this issue - my HubSpot form, that lives on a HubSpot landing page, is ONLY submitting user information when in incognito mode. When in a regular browser, nothing happens when clicking the submit button, but it seems to work just fine in incognito mode. I've checked the backend of the page and form and nothing seems to be out of the ordinary.
I wanted to confirm what exactly is happening when user is browsing in the incognito mode. I can't see any analytics calls fired which would be expected but I wanted to confirm that tracking is blocked.
that applies to both normal and incognito mode but I am looking for something different. Is there any way to change it only for incognito mode (replacing duckduckgo) while leaving google as the default for normal searches?
Brave seems to be working on an option:

Incognito was originally a stand-alone application that allowed you to impersonate user tokens when successfully compromising a system. This was integrated into Metasploit and ultimately into Meterpreter. You can read more about Incognito and how token stealing works via Luke Jennings original paper.
Once you have a Meterpreter session, you can impersonate valid tokens on the system and become that specific user without ever having to worry about credentials, or for that matter, even hashes. During a penetration test, this is especially useful due to the fact that tokens have the possibility of allowing local and/or domain privilege escalation, enabling you alternate avenues with potentially elevated privileges to multiple systems.
We now have a Meterpreter console from which we will begin our incognito token attack. Like priv (hashdump and timestomp) and stdapi (upload, download, etc.), incognito is a Meterpreter module. We load the module into our Meterpreter session by executing the use incognito command. Issuing the help command shows us the variety of options we have for incognito and brief descriptions of each option.
What we will need to do first is identify if there are any valid tokens on this system. Depending on the level of access that your exploit provides, you are limited in the tokens you are able to view. When it comes to token stealing, SYSTEM is king. As SYSTEM, you are allowed to see and use any token on the box.
I was able to successfully autofill into an Incognito tab in Chrome on my Pixel 7 Pro just now. Sometimes, we hear about some trouble with autofilling into Chrome in general (as in, not just Incognito tabs), and it seems that switching to any other app and back to Chrome then helps with autofill being suggested. Give that a try and let me know if switching to another app (not the Home screen) and back to Chrome makes a difference. :)
Still no 1Password option just for Chrome incognito. It's working fine for regular Chrome tabs and 1P worked fine for the CVS app I switched to. Very interesting that it worked on your incognito tab(s). I'm going to reboot my phone just to rule that out...
@GreyM1P, after rebooting my phone (Pixel 6) I did have to toggle to an app and use 1P before it would work on Chrome, but still nothing on the incognito tabs even when 1P works on the regular Chrome tabs.
After some more testing this appears to be more of a problem with the Microsoft SwiftKey keyboard. I switched to the GBoard keyboard and 1P works (sometimes) on the Chrome incognito tabs. It seems like I have to toggle back and forth to an app regularly to get it to work using GBoard, but at least it will work. I think I got it to work with SwiftKey a couple of times. Reminder, all of this testing is on a Pixel 6 (Android) in Chrome incognito tabs.
Autofill issues can stem from a number of sources. I believe the issues referenced in the forum thread you shared may be separate as I didn't see any mention to private or incognito windows and the specific keyboards didn't end up factoring in. That being said, what you've described certainly sounds like disruptive behavior and I'm sorry for the trouble here.
In testing with Swiftkey and Chrome Incognito I was seeing a consistent response from Autofill. Could you try restarting Chrome by removing it from Recents then let us know if you see any change in behavior?
Recents can be opened by tapping the square icon along the bottom of your screen. If you use gestures, it's typically a short swipe up from the bottom of the home screen. From there you can locate the Chrome window, swipe up on it, then reopen Chrome.
Hi @ag_timothy, I swiped Chrome off of the recent list, then reopened an incognito tab, and 1P autofill didn't respond. So, I flipped to an app (Labcorp) filled creds in with 1P (autofill worked), then flipped back to Chrome incognito and autofill worked. Now 1P autofill has been working consistently. I tried this same texting when I started the thread. Perhaps something changed in recent update(s)?
We've been releasing a number of tweaks to help with underlying Autofill issues and we have more in the pipeline. Anecdotally, I'm seeing a positive trend in Autofill consistency so it seems that things are moving in the right direction. I believe there was a recent update to Chrome which may have helped as well.
When I'm able to trigger unresponsiveness in Chrome (typically leaving a device idle for an extended period), I find that restarting the browser resolves the issue immediately. I have seen a few instances where a page refresh or a focus switch as you mentioned seems to be required as well.
If i login to SPA 1 and from spa 1 i open a popup window and spa2 should load in an iframe, this works on most cases but we have seen that when using chrome in incognito mode the second spa will ask for a login.
Let me try to explain a bit better,
I open a incognito browser and browse to the SPA1 website, the login screen is displayed and i login to SPA1.
I browse to a page within SPA1 and click a button, clicking this button opens a component that contains an iFrame which loads the second SPA (SPA2).
I would have expected SPA2 to sliently authenticate and not require the user to login a second time.
Then, we start our application in the iframe, because its extension for outlook, it will occur error in your code here auth0-spa-js, because you cannot ask window.localStorage:
const json = window.localStorage.getItem(cacheKey);
So, you cannot use localStorage, cookies in an iframe if the browser in incognito.
This is an urgent bug because auth0 broken our application, you should display something, but not breaking the application.
The behaviour is quite troubling, since it seems to manifest in a way that a user can login and get to the ui, but once there, no XHR requests work due to the user not being authenticated in the Apollo client which gets the token from the Auth0Provider, the Auth0Provider in turn seems to think that the user is authenticated but not all functionality is supported.
We are using getTokenSilently() from the auth0Client and set it as header for the Apollo link, and the call to getTokenSilently() is returning nothing, but Auth0Provider says the user is authenticated.
I recently had to disable Private Browsing in Safari on our iPads. I wish there was a better option to do this other than the built-in web filter as we've been running into sites with issues, but it works.
Have the same question about incognito for Chrome. Got private browsing disabled using the recommendation above which was great, thank you! Not having any luck disabling incognito for Chrome though. A school I am working with needs both.

i think i find something intresting , when the incognito option is turned on, the net trafic meter will stop logging the net traffic and the firewall tab will not show any in-time net traffic inform of xxx k/s . is this how the incognito option working now or am i experencing some programe bug?
if it is supposed to work like this, then, if I turn incognito on, will the traffic generated during this time not be logged on total network traffic meter in the usage tab? will this explain why sometimes the usage tab does not match the real traffic amount?
As it happens, I was just out of town for a week. When I first logged on from the remote location, I set Glasswire to Incognito because one of the main benefits I get from using it is the local traffic monitoring. Having returned, I just turned Incognito off. As expected, for the past week, Glasswire has recorded no traffic information.
When I launch this repo from my browser (Chrome or Safari), it takes 10 mins+ and sometime it fails. However, if I launch it using incognito mode, it only takes several minutes. I also tried launching it from my ipad and it launch even faster than my macbook.
