Having trouble staying logged in here, and elsewhere on iOS
I’ve been running into a minor annoyance of late, I tend to get logged out of ~ on a page refresh (I.e., pull the screen down) on iOS after about a day or less. I have also noticed that my outlook web also does a thing where it seems to forget that I’m signed in under an account, and asks me to input an email, but if I refresh, there’s a 50/50 shot it will see I’m logged in and drop me into the outlook web client.
I recall some of these threads from a few years ago here (but having issues finding them in search) and seem to remember the consensus being “check your add-ons”…. But this is happening on the super nerfed Firefox for iOS (I.e., there are no add-in’s to my knowledge).
I’m running Ffirefox 115 if that helps at all
Check that you have cookies enabled:
Go to Settings > Safari and scroll down to the security and privacy section and make sure the setting to block all cookies is not enabled.
EDIT: though looking at the issue linked by TallUntidyGothGF, this might actually be an issue with Firefox specifically
I am also having this issue, and it would seem to be a cluster of on-going Firefox iOS bugs surrounding this: https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/firefox-ios/issues/12279
Yup, that sounds like the culprit!
I have this problem as well, in Safari. I leave private browsing permanently enabled on this device and I’m not sure if that’s part of the issue. On iOS webpages stick around in memory until the system decides to purge them to allocate RAM for other apps. I’ve found that my session is wiped whenever this happens. So if I keep Safari foregrounded I can remain logged into Tildes for ages; but if I’m using other apps heavily and switch back to Safari, I’ll see the page refresh and then it’s logged out (even if only a few minutes have passed).
