When you sign back in do you remember to check "Remain logged in at this computer?" Rhiannon12866 Aug 2021 #4
I sign on by using my fingerprint and it covers that feature up Ligyron Aug 2021 #11
Then maybe that's why you don't stay logged in? Rhiannon12866 Aug 2021 #12

And it is random. Sometimes I can stay on and sometimes I have to sign back on again.

Weird…

I use Opera and when I shut off the computer or otherwise close Opera I have to log in again.

But, doesn't happen in Opera on my phone.

Or on Firefox, or Vivaldi, or any other browser I've tried.

Too many possibilities to worry about. I just log in again- at least it keeps my password.

I think it’s after a week, maybe two? Can’t remember the exact time frame, just that I have to log back in again periodically on both devices. I think it’s a security measure?

But this happens on my IPhone, never tablet or puter and I’ll get signed out randomly during any one day or sometimes not.

Strange.

That's where some of the password info resides; they can become corrupted.

One quick way to delete them from within a browser:
-While you're on the DU website, click on the lock icon on the left end of the address bar
-In the lower part of the dialog box, click on 'cookies'
-In the 'allowed' tab, highlight each line and click 'remove'
