My Virgin Media, cookies and passwords

 

Hello

I've a few questions regarding the security of my "My Virgin Media" account.

Firstly, how long do "My Virgin Media" session cookies remain active/valid from the time of logging in before expiring? Or do they remain active/valid indefinitely?

Secondly, does a change of password to my "My Virgin Media" account:

1.) Invalidate previously active/valid session cookies?

2.) Log me out of all sessions across any and all devices where I was previously logged in?

And lastly, is it possible to review previous login sessions for my account e.g when, where and what devices have logged in to my account?

Thank you in advance of any answers, they're greatly appreciated.

  • Additional question: Is it possible to log out of active sessions remotely whilst logged in on one particular device?
