Synchronize

You can synchronize the WOT add-on for multiple browsers on multiple computers.

Example configurations

• You have Internet Explorer, Firefox and Chrome on the same computer.
• You use Firefox at home and Internet Explorer at work.
• You have multiple computers on a LAN at home each using a different browser.

How to Synchronize

Profile: Synchronize browser

1) Login to your account
2) Go to your profile page
3) Click on the "Synchronize" menu tab

Synchronize your profile

You are accessing WOT via a different Web browser than before. If you would like, we can import your existing preferences to this browser and automatically sign you in when you access your account in future.

If you are using a public computer, do not synchronize your profile. Click "Don't synchronize" below to protect your privacy and return to your account page.

Note: If the tab is not available, your account is already synchronized for that computer and browser. You will need to check your account profile for the Synchronize link for each browser on each computer.

Advantages of synchronizing

• WOT tallies your ratings and comments from all browser configurations which add to your account's Activity score.
• WOT will override Warnings on all browsers / computers for sites that you have rated high though they may have an overall poor reputation

Automatic Login to WOT

1) Go to your profile page, scroll down and click Edit profile.
2) Look for the Privacy Settings box
3) Check the option: "Allow the add-on to log me in automatically"
Note: If there is no check mark, click on it to "set" it.
4) Scroll to the bottom of the page and click Submit to save changes.

Removing Synchronization

This must be done per browser, per computer that you had opted to synchronize.

Attention!
This also resets Automatic Login, so if you desire WOT to log you in on browser startup, you will need to go to your profile select Edit Profile and check the box that says "Allow the add-on to log me in automatically." scroll down and click Submit to apply changes.
