Please I keep getting logged out of the forum from my browser and don't know why

[CryptoHeadlineNews]

Greetings to everyone, please its been 2days now since I started experiencing my forum account getting logged out, and I'm kind of worried, and I really don't know why, and I thought It's better I come share this out here to know of is it a general problem? Or am I the only one experiencing this? Please and please I need your advice, because as a result of that I have just gone to change my password and Gmail, to avoid any such of hack, but I keep experiencing the same situations. So on that note, I will like to call on the attention of some reputable forum members I have always looked up to since day one on possible advice on what to do, and by that I mean in the person of  @ Loyce, TryNinja, Rikafip, Nutildah, Pmalek and lastly Sir Theymos. Thanks in advance as I wait for your solution.

Please Note: I'm a Nigerian and will always remain a Nigerian on this forum for the rest of my life, and likewise will I continue using this Bitcoin wallet address below that I have been using for the past 2yrs on this forum til further notice. Thanks

I never experience like this one, any chance you didn't check "Always stay logged in"? by default the forum only let you stay for 60 minutes and you will get logged out automatically. If we talk about virus, I don't think it's only make you logged out, usually your device will be controlled by someone else and you can't do anything.

Although your Bitcoin address was been used since 2022, but it's better if you can sign a message.

Did you checked always stay logged in when you wanted to login the last time?



If you did not check always stay logged in, you will automatically be logged out at the time specified. Check always stay login.

Are you using incognito mode? Are you clearing your cookies/cache and history from your browser? How does it happen exactly? You're just browsing the forum, and then you refresh to find yourself logged out?

You're not new, it shows there is indeed a problem. I haven't experienced such, it means it's peculiar to you too. But you can't experience this due to your nationality or a Bitcoin address. You, writing them out is not necessary.

Before the likes of those you called out share their view, you might want to be sure that you do not use VPN or Tor, or private mode of browsers. Also, be certain that you click on "Always stay logged in" to keep you on. You might also want to delete your browser cookies and caches. You may try logging in on another browser as well.

If you are using a mobile device, there should be a confirmation there too.
Also check what your browser settings are and whether you are prompted to delete all cookies when you close your browser. This is probably done by the browser. Maybe it was recently updated:By the way, what browser are you using?

Yes, I clicked "Always stay logged in", when I was logging in, but yet I keep experiencing getting myself logged out, which is the main reason why I'm more worried, because I'm only using this account on a single mobile device.

Your browser failed to recall your session, I think you have changed some of your browser's privacy and cookie settings, just try to restore to default settings or re-install your browser.

You should stake your address here just in case. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=996318.0

I'm not using any VPN of any kind, and I was thinking it could be as a result of maybe since my browser was outdated, should be the reason for this, but I updated it and I keep experiencing the log out, but haven't tried clearing cookies, which I will go do it now.

Is this sort of thing happening to any other website you visit on that browser or just bitcointalk?

The problem could be from you clearing your cache or the browsing mode/settings you are using or another user accessing your account. You mentioned that you have changed email and password so that should fix any issue with unauthorized access, leaving us with a potential browser issue you might be missing.

Are you using incognito mode? Are you clearing your cookies/cache and history from your browser? How does it happen exactly? You're just browsing the forum, and then you refresh to find yourself logged out?

Using incognito mode can not lead to your Bitcointalk account to be logged out automatically, it only help people browsing history not to be recorded on the browser used.

This can not be cookies. Bitcointalk does not send any cookies link for someone to accept or reject. I do not really know about how cookies can be related to this. I may not be exactly right.

If you visit a website, you look for an item on the website. If you visit the website again, you will easily see similar items again. The cookies stored on your browser makes that possible. Also if you visit another website, you will be seeing similar items and also you will see ads of the item on another sites. That is the work of cookies.

I'm not using any VPN of any kind, and I was thinking it could be as a result of maybe since my browser was outdated, should be the reason for this, but I updated it and I keep experiencing the log out, but haven't tried clearing cookies, which I will go do it now.

Make sure that it is not someone that is doing it. Change your device password.

This is why I'm asking OP how this happened exactly. But if you browse using Incognito, close... and then close the whole window, and reopen it again, then you will have to type your credentials again.

I could be wrong, but the Session ID or token must be stored on the client's side so when the user deletes that data from the browser, he's asked to log in again.

I think it's only Bitcointalk that I'm having this issue with, as this doesn't look right, because this is my first time experiencing this kind of thing since my 2yrs+ of staying here learning & getting used to this forum, and I know when something is fishy. But I will go clear my browser cache now, and come back to this thread if issue persist.

Make sure that it is not someone that is doing it. Change your device password.

I'm the only one who has access to my mobile device, and I don't think it's anyone close to me that is trying to hack my account, because I'm always with my mobile phone 24hrs

But however, Thank you all for your advice🙏🙏

Which browser are you using at the moment, and have you tried using a different one?

Btw, I also use "always stay logged in" (yeah I know its not the smartest thing to do) and haven't experienced something like that before.

That is a good question. OmegaStarScream even asked if CryptoHeadlineNews is using incognito. Then I later think that some browsers are incognito browser. If CryptoHeadlineNews is using a browser like that, the browser will keep erasing all the browsing history.

@CryptoHeadlineNews. If you are not using incognito browser, my advise is that should reinstall the browser app. Or you can clear your browser storage. If you clear your browser storage, all information stored on it will all be erased and the browser will become like new.

If the problem still continues, you can use browsers like Duckduckgo for mobile or Firefox for desktop.

So, please am I the only one experiencing the forum log out or it's general??

haven't experienced something like this before, even when I am using my mobile phone. just like Rikafip, I am curious what browser you are using and if you have tried using a different one. currently, I am using Google Chrome on my PC and Opera on my mobile phone and I haven't had the same issue as yours on both browsers.

Okay, I'm using Chrome Browser Sir, which I specifically downloaded from Google PlayStore, since I'm using an Android device, and this incident which I just reported all started on Saturday evening, after while trying to access the forum, I saw that my account was already "logged-out" when i didn't, because my account have always been on the "Always stay log-in" mode. So I tried logging-in, and after some while, I noticed that I was still logged-out, and the issue persisted til yesterday been Sunday. So on that note, I just had to take the bull by the horn yesterday by changing both password and Gmail, so as to be on the safer side, and report this issue to the forum to know if could this be a general case or just mine.

I'm using Chrome, but not the incognito tab.. You know Chrome browser has two tabs, the "Main" and the "Incognito", and I'm using the main tab

First, change your user password.
When you change it, sign a Bitcoin message with a Bitcoin private key of a public address you use.

The sign message and the public address can help you to recover your account later, if it is hacked or if you forget its password.

How to sign a Bitcoin message

Your account will be logged out if a second device logs in, the first device will log out and I understand your panic.

Did you check your login IP history?
https://bitcointalk.org/myips.php
Do you see any strange IP address?

[lovesmayfamilis]

Something else. If you are using the Chrome browser, it has an automatic login feature. Is this there and is it included?
Also, if you suspect that someone is logging into your account at the same time as you, check your IP. https://bitcointalk.org/myips.php

Op the only time I have been logged out of my account was when I logged out in my mobile joke and when I got to my PC I was asked to login again, that could be the case here.

Have you ever logged your account into any device that you feel is not secure? Or do you use other people device to access your account? If yes, the. You should start by changing your password and email and then watch if the problem still persists. I strongly believe that someone has access to your account and is logging into and out of your account.
