Kbin Login (kbin.social)

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.

[-] HarkMahlberg@kbin.social 4 points 2 years ago

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

[-] rodhlann@kbin.social 6 points 2 years ago

I believe so, but I continue to get logged out so I'll double check the next time it happens ๐Ÿ‘

[-] sik0fewl@kbin.social 9 points 2 years ago

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

[-] NotAPenguin@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago

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

[-] rodhlann@kbin.social 2 points 2 years 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

[-] Kerrigor@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

Still happening a lot by the way

[-] vraylle@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

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

[-] ernest@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

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

[-] sik0fewl@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago

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

[-] rodhlann@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

@ernest I use my email

[-] OonTaaKissa@kbin.social 9 points 2 years ago

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

[-] theinspectorst@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago

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

[-] theinspectorst@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

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

[-] rodhlann@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

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

[-] Nomecks@kbin.social 6 points 2 years ago

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.

[-] Agentseed@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

Keepass xc is the way to go

[-] jaye@kbin.social 4 points 2 years ago

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

[-] quortez@kbin.social 4 points 2 years ago

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

[-] HubertManne@kbin.social 4 points 2 years 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.

[-] adonis@kbin.social 4 points 2 years ago

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

[-] SuperSpaceFan@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years 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.

[-] Eigengrau@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago

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

[-] rodhlann@kbin.social 2 points 2 years 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

[-] daredevil@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

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

[-] VulcanSphere@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago

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

[-] revengebreaker@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

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

[-] FredOnline@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

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

[-] rodhlann@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

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

[-] FredOnline@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

The next day, and still getting logged out.

[-] Kill_joy@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

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

[-] rodhlann@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

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

[-] Kill_joy@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

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

[-] rodhlann@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

Same ๐Ÿค•

[-] Openminded-skeptic@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

Yes. I just had to log in again.

Before I was only having this issue on Lemmy.

[-] Kerrigor@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

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

[-] frasassi@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

Constantly being logged out on the website, in the web app, and on Artemis. ๐Ÿ˜•

[-] indigojasper@kbin.social 2 points 2 years 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.
