PSA: Cursor Now Restricts Logins to a Single Machine

Hey! We have no such policy. You're of course free to use Cursor on multiple machines.

Unfortunately, this is an incorrect response from a front-line AI support bot. We did roll out a change to improve the security of sessions, and we're investigating to see if it caused any problems with session invalidation. We also do provide a UI for seeing active sessions at cursor.com/settings.

Apologies about the confusion here.

I’m seeing less and less value in cursor as an IDE. It was ahead of the game for a while but they seem to have lost their way and got stuck.  The docs feature doesn’t seem to work. The max features make way too many tool calls. There’s no more innovation coming from them, just shitty billing practices. 

I guess that’s what happens when you start taking big funding rounds. There’s lots of pressure to show income. 

It feels like both cursor and windsurf are kind of dead in the water now. Jetbrains has Junie which is as good an agent as either of them.  Roo code is pushing faster and better updates than Cline. I dare to say copilot has seen the light as well. I can’t really think of a reason to pay for cursor anymore. There’s Claude code and augment, and aider and the list of capable alternatives is getting longer. 

I opted for AUGMENT CODE in the end actually!

But thanks for your super insightful, and not at all stupid, irrelevant, and rude input.

You definitely did not come off an kinda unhinged.

Have a just terrific day.

Shockingly, people work on more than one project at once.

I work on a large video webapp at home on my PC, and when I go out for coffee I grab my laptop and work on WINE contributions.

However, I'm force logged out on both by virtue of simply switching from one to another, and back again as I do my work and return home.

Absolutely ridiculous.
