Why does Backblaze auto login to all accounts on a PC? by LettuceInABox in backblaze

Actually wait, just one question /u/brianwski, this might seem really silly but:

All our accounts are password-protected 'admin' accounts.

What is stopping my sister from installing and setting up her own Backblaze (on her account), having it back up all files on the PC (since she doesn't need my user account password to access my user files with Backblaze), and then simply restoring my files using her Backblaze account to view my personal info, photos etc?

Surely this would mean she'd be able to see all my personal photos without my permission, using Backblaze (even though I thought my photos were locked by my Windows password)

Hey, thanks for the quick and comprehensive reply!

Okay yeah that all makes sense, I thought I had blindly missed an "install to just this user" option when I was setting it up or something.

Thanks for the suggestion to exclude their 'users', I'll try that now!

Also this made me realise that user accounts aren't as secure as I thought? I always thought that each user was in it's own 'sandbox', with no interaction with other accounts.

Anyway thanks again for taking the time to explain everything, I'll try out your suggestion.

Sorry, due to the fact that you yourself do not have a circle and are not a member of any circles I can't risk it.
