Introduction

When signing in for the yallo website the first time a captcha challenge has to be answered. The information that the captcha was solved successfully is then stored in a browser cookie. This cookie avoids that the captcha is presented for consecutive logins. As the widget uses the same website to send the SMS the content of this cookie has to be transferred from a web browser to the widget.

Details

For Safari (v3.2.3) it is possible to view the cookies but it is not possible to copy the content to the clipboard. Therefore the following description for Firefox (v3.0.10).

Log in to your account on yallo.ch at least once. Got to Menu Firefox -> Preferences -> Privacy and click the "Show Cookies" button. Search for "yallo.ch" and click on on the cookie with the name "captcha". At the bottom of the dialog, mark and copy the content (something like "0irbRp9aYiU9gRoVXmQYpw==" or a longer variant.) Paste it into the corresponding field in the widget account settings.

here is an instruction for safari (tested with safari 4.0.5 on OS 10.6.3) after having logged in to yallo.ch the first time and solving the captcha, navigate to the folder ~/Library/Cookies. Open the file cookies.plist with a text editor and search for "yallo". The captcha cookie looks something like this: {{{ <key>Created</key>

<real>297104354.36282003</real> <key>Domain</key> <string>www.yallo.ch</string> <key>Expires</key> <date>2020-05-29T16:59:14Z</date> <key>Name</key> <string>captcha</string> <key>Path</key> <string>/</string> <key>Value</key> <string>iPDkLGC+POkc7Yn72DSjAA==</string> }}} rest as above

thanks for the nice widget!
