Support Center Login Timeout Driving Me Insane

[Bob_Zimmerman]

The notifications around CVE-2026-85102 and CVE-2026-85103 have been handled extremely poorly. I've gotten at least twelve email threads from Check Point about them, inspiring several managers to forward them to me and ask about them in separate email threads. Then the managers get this "You need to install it on the management, too" separate email thread and they forward it to me asking if it's the same thing. Way too many separate messages, and I have to read all of them to make sure they're actually the same thing, and not some new third CVE. This terrible handling of communications around urgent issues is a running issue.

While dealing with this, I'm trying to get information from SK articles. Trying to download packages to install on various firewalls. Every single time I click on anything or try to search for anything, my session has timed out and I have to log in again!

WHY?! Why is the timeout this insanely short? We start with a stressful situation, make it worse through awful communications, then add more stress on top by having the website constantly interrupt users to make them log in again.

This is a recipe to get admins to deeply loathe a company.

I already used to it. Logging into Support Center many times during working day is my daily routine job. It reminds me that my Check Point password is still known, is not expired and there is no risk I forgot it within a couple of hours ! I already learnt to type my Check Point password even with closed eyes.

PS: Try to use browser auto-refresh extension.

All went well here, one e-mail to notify about the CVE's and next day 1 e-mail as follow-up. I had no issues reading or downloading a thing from the support center. Somehow you get signed up 12 times? I don't understand tbh. If other people receive the notification and forward it to you that is not something that can be changed from CP side. So I don't think this deserve the terms terrible and awful communication if there is no proper feedback shared by you.

Why? Thank AI scrapers, probably, which pound Internet sites constantly, so CP is likely ensuring they can't siphon the entire SK's in one go. This is just a guess.

OTHO, I use Proton Pass which logs me back in no time. If passkeys could also be implemented on the Support Center, that would be even faster. 😏
