Is anyone else getting logged out when they close their browser tab?

I'm using Firefox on mobil. I like to keep my tabs clean in my mobile browser and every time I close my kbin tab, as of this morning, it makes me log back in.

This hasn't been an issue at all for the last month.

I also can't seem to access kbinMeta/newest without getting an error! So I hope this isn't a duplicate post

Today, the clearing of some sessions was intentional. But I have heard about it before. Are you sure that you logged in with the "Remember me" option checked?

When I'm using kbin on mobile, it's logged me out a lot randomly today. Desktop seems fine, just had to login once this morning.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Yep, I've also been running into this problem, only in the last couple of hours.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I believe so, but I continue to get logged out so I'll double check the next time it happens 👍

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

I've been logged out again as well, even when selecting "Remember me".

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

It definitely keeps logging me out, even with remember me selected, firefox beta on windows 10.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

@ernest definitely still happening with checking remember me selected as of this morning

I could reproduce it by closing Firefox on mobile.
Then, after opening kbin.social it would show me as logged in, but once I navigate somewhere else, I get logged out

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Still happening a lot by the way

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Been happening to me also at least the last 2 days. I made sure I check "remember me". Firefox/Windows desktop.

@rodhlann @vraylle Do you log in using a username or an email?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I'm having the same issues (Android PWA) and I'm logging in with my username.

@ernest I use my email

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I got logged out once but it seems to work fine after i logged back in

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah I had it twice today (never before) but it's been fine since then.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Called it too soon. Three times already today...

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I was having the issue consistently today until about 30 mins ago, so hopefully we're over the hump

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Autofill in Chrome fills and advances in one move, so clicking remember doesn't work with autofill. Stop the page, click remember and then advance.

PSA: Don't use Chrome, or any browser, to save passwords. Get a password manager like bitwarden. It's very easy to see what your password is with the browser saving them.

edit: for the people downvoting, it literally takes 30-60 seconds to get your email password if you save your passwords in the browser. Once that's done none of your passwords are safe.

I also wouldn't use lastpass personally. They've had some very concerning breaches and I don't feel like they take security serious enough.

Keepass xc is the way to go

Not even closing the tab here on Firefox mobile, and occasionally getting logged out.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Being logged out constantly on a browser I keep open to kbin to sit off to the side to glance as while I do other things. Its being logged out like at least every hour.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

I got logged out again today despite having "remember me" checked

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Chiming in to confirm I'm getting this as of two days ago (and still now)

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Yup, this happens to me frequently on desktop and mobile. Using Firefox as well, and ticking "Remember me" hasn't helped either.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Me too , getting logged out but couldn't discern cause . Getting m/kbinmeta/newest issue too

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Not being able to see newest for this magazine is rough. I really like to keep up with the updates and issues people are reporting

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I've been seeing this since I installed the PWA about 3 weeks ago. I have cookies saved, but it still logs me out everytime I close the app.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Yup, I got logged out even after checked the remember me option.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Yes. I just had to log in again.

Before I was only having this issue on Lemmy.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

6 days later and still getting logged out. Remember me is enabled

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Constantly being logged out on the website, in the web app, and on Artemis. 😕

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Still getting logged out every few minutes, been happening all day

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Was hoping it wasn't just me.. has happened all morning, even mid scrolling.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It isn't happening for me anymore it seems. Perhaps a hiccup?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Just hopped back on and was logged out. So I dunno what the deal is

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago
[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

That's happened to me today, both on my desktop and on my 'phone.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

The next day, and still getting logged out.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

It's a bit frustrating! I've asked the kbin matrix chat about it too hopefully someone knows what's up

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

This has happened to me from the beginning. After a certain amount of time it logs me out. It kept me logged in a bit longer on mobile (used Google Chrome to make it an "app") but eventually it logged me out there too, just when I thought I'd found a way around it.
