If your browser is forgetting your logins without you deleting history or cookies, several factors could be causing this issue:

  1. Cookie Settings: Your browser might be configured to delete cookies upon closing. Check your cookie settings to ensure that cookies are allowed and not set to clear when the browser is closed.
  2. Browser Extensions: Some extensions or add-ons can interfere with cookie storage. Try disabling extensions one by one to see if the problem persists.
  3. Privacy Settings: High privacy settings may block cookies or require you to log in every time. Ensure that your privacy settings are not overly restrictive.
  4. Corrupted Profile: Your browser profile might be corrupted. You can try creating a new user profile to see if this resolves the issue.
  5. Software Conflicts: Security software or other applications running on your computer may be interfering with your browser's ability to store cookies.
  6. Browser Updates: Ensure your browser is up to date, as bugs or issues in older versions might cause problems with login persistence.
  7. Incognito or Private Mode: If you're using incognito or private browsing mode, your logins won't be saved after you close the session.
  8. Browser Reset: If all else fails, resetting your browser to its default settings can help resolve persistent issues.

 

Check these areas to troubleshoot the problem, and hopefully, you'll find a solution that works for you!

I tried all suggestions. But this is the only site I frequent that seems to forget after a few times.

I just login when I want to post or do something that requires login.

 

I do use Opera browser, probably not many using Opera.

I agree with ozzy84, my login status is forgotten after a week or so, and this is the only site that behaves that way. I use Firefox and Windows 11, but I used Windows 10 until a few days ago. I don't recall if it happened after the 10 → 11 upgrade.

Same here. After a week or so, I am automatically logged out. So I log in with my name and password, check the box that I am a human, and check the box to remember me. Only website where this happens.

I use Windows 10 and the Chrome browser.
