You probably have cookie login enabled - a catalog.cfg entry which causes
minivend to write a cookie with your login info to your computer
harddisk. It automatically logs you in each time it serves *any* page to
your client machine. I think that changing cookie login in catalog.cfg
will fix the "problem", though you may want to leave it as is.

Again, this is normal - minivend saves this information in the database;
the credit card info is also there in all likelihood (unless you have
altered something), it is just not displayed on the form. Export userdb
(or use minimate) and take a look for yourself. If you have not set up PGP
to encrypt credit card numbers, you should alter you cart to prevent the
writing of mv_credit_card_info (the card number) to the database - storing
unencrypted card numbers can be risky.
