Can’t stay logged in
Posted by Lithonia Operator on Sunday, April 11, 2021 10:11 PM

On my phone, I can't stay logged in. I check the box to stay logged in, but once I leave this forum, I have to log in again.

I don't have this issue on my computers.

Anybody have any suggestions?

Still in training.

Actually, it's even worse than I said. Just now I went to a different thread here, right after making the post above. (I did not leave the forum in between.) I went to make a post there, and found I was logged out again.

Snother thing is that in the URL box at the top, it says "Not Secure," in red.

I'm in Safari. Then when I went to my history, there wasn't any history after last Wednesday. ???

Did you switch to private/incognito mode by accident?

If you disable cookies the website won't let you log in at all. 

The Kalmbach sites have never used a secure connection, I see the same little icon but it has never affected my ability to log in.

Now you have me curious.  Is your history "cut-off" after (I'm guessing that you mean "prior to"?) last wednesday on your computer as well? or just on your portable?

No, I do mean after. My history goes only thru last Wed. My computers do not have this issue, just the phone.

I had to log in again just now, to reply.

I don't know what is meant by incognito mode. And I see nothing like that in the Safari settings.

Incognito mode (same as InPrivate mode in other browsers, and there may be other names) is a mode where if you leave a site, everything that was stored about that visit is deleted so that another website cannot peek at what you might have been doing.

Firefox's name for private browsing.  In this mode nothing you look at will be added to the brower history.  Some other features may also be disabled or not work properly. 

Safari just calls it private browsing.

Thanks for the input. I cleared the history and cookies, and now all is well again.
