"Active Login" would normally apply to server that require to login via basic HTTP authentication and not on authentication that is cookies (session ID) based.

What kind of logins is this about ?

You can reload webpage(s) and bypass the cache to refresh possibly outdated or corrupted files.

  • hold down the Shift key and left-click the Reload button
  • press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
  • press "Command + Shift + R" (Mac)

The browser has an option to clear active logins when it is closed. But I never heard of clearing the login when one refreshes a page. Can you explain what you need this?

To be honest, I was try to solve google recaptcha. When I disable all cookie, the recaptcha seems work with history data. If want to solve and pass the recaptcha, you need to clean the history.

I have try a lot, and found that the options for clearing history only Active Logins option have relate with passing recaptcha.

It meens, if you want to pass the recaptcha, you only need to clean Active Logins each times.

I tried using the extension to clean up history, but it didn't work, the extension seemed to work differently from the logic I used to clean up history in Settings.

So, I want to find a way to clean the history with Active Logins, in order to pass the google recaptcha.

I have not heard of such a problem. When someone reports problems with captcha,, I reply with;

A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Troubleshoot(Safe) Mode (not Refresh). Is the problem still there?
