Browser forgetting Login after a certain amount of time?

[jackg]

Now this isn't an often occurance but I'm wondering why this is. Once every ~6 months maybe, my login information gets lost for this website somewhere and I'm not entirely sure why it is? Does theymos do some sort of update, my cookies/login info for other sites are remembered, it's just this one that gets forgotten by my browsers (it did it on both my phone and computer so I'm thinking it's probably experienced by a lot of people - and the recaptcha is a bit annoying, have to do it a few times)...

Edit: if it is just me that experinces this, could anyone suggest a fix. I have android Chrome and windows Firefox (they're not linked - even if there is a way to link them - other than the IP address they connect through).

Do you maybe have some program that would clear cache/cookies/history after some time? Also I've had a problem before where I'd get logged out if I login here over my phone. So, you logging in on another device may cause that issue.

But it's only once every so many months that it forgets it and i do remember to tick the always log in bit. I don't remember every clicking "forget about this site" and I'm on a minimalistic login on my main version of windows (not my normal user login as I just have firefox and bitcoin core installed).

It forgot it on both my phone and laptop at the same time which seems really weird.

If I intentionally wipe out the history of the browser every out of this website, this's done to anticipate if something happens to my device like PC / Mobile Phone.

yes, I often recaptcha over and over again but I don't feel to be annoyed, maybe this for security and -  train my logic

Yes, if you delete cookies to the site, naturally, your login should go as that's how it's stored by SMF in the first place.

It's annoying when it's unreasonable and uncontrollable and my IP doesn't make many requests to google's recaptcha often (there's only two or three sites I use that need it for login and sometimes that's not necessary anyway).

Hi jackg, I don't know if I experienced the same case you have or not but I always loose my connection in mobile once I connect with my pc and vice versa even if always login was checked. Same goes if I connect with 2 different browsers in the same device, i have to re-enter my login details again.

 - If you logout on one session, all of your sessions are logged out.
 - When you change your password, your session length is changed to 1 hour, so you will soon be logged out.

There's no 6-month expiration or anything. If your "remember password" thing is being forgotten, then that'd be especially surprising.

Thanks theymos, I didn't do either of those things intentionally. I think it's unlikely I logged out from my phone becuase I moved accross in 1 stroke (however, maybe I'm remembering that wrong).

Anyway my questions have ben answered so I'll now lock this thread now.

You've probably done the first of what theymos suggested I reckon, it shouldn't log you out (I do it enough and it doesn't happen every time).
