If such a timer exists I've never noticed it. It's not affecting everyone. I go for weeks without having to log in. Your browser should have a keep me logged in feature.

I view pinside on my phone numerous times a day. I have never been logged out of pinside that I can remember. Something I need to look in to.

i havent logged in in like a year it keeps me logged in.

You might check with Robin.

I believe there was one in the past. I picked stay logged in. Haven't had to log in since.

LTG : )

Use Firefox & stays logged in phone 2 PCs and my phone for...well i can't even remember when i last had to do it.

Maybe it went away.

LTG : )

I am always being logged out on my phone = annoying!
But, on my home computer, I am never logged out, even on my work computer i am never logged out

Hmm. I havnt had to log in for years.

I also experience a time-out after 30ish minutes of inactivity. I noticed a behavioral change a few months ago where Pinside no longer keeps me logged in, whereas prior to that Pinside always kept me logged in.

None of the other sites I visit regularly have this challenge (generally everything else stays logged in).

I figured it was a new security feature on Pinside and assumed it was the same for everyone. If I find some kind of setting (Pinside, Chrome, or otherwise) that allows me to stay logged in I'll share back with the thread.

Everyone is supposed to stay logged in at all times, unless you log out. This is currently done by way of a cookie. There is no 'remember me' setting currenty - everyone stays logged in.

At least, that's the way it was intended

Interesting point. If it only affects some people and accross separate browsers (right? or is this only affect Safari users?), one might think it has to do with the way some information is stored in that cookie. Could you pm me the exact code of your pinsideCookie? Please don't share it here publicly.

The only time I've been logged out is when the electric goes out during a storm or something, otherwise I've never seen the need to do it myself.

It's probably an Apple thing. Just a hunch.

I always have logged out when done.

Ditto

Not sure if you’ve found your answer or not as the thread is aging a bit, but I thought I could share my experience FWIW.

My understanding is that as a way to preserve free memory, iOS only keeps a small number of pages/tabs active at a time, at least in safari (other browsers I believe behave similarly). If you visit a bunch of other tabs and then come back, it forces a page refresh - which can log you out. If you use private browsing, it will log you out every time.

This is what happens to me anyways, it’s a huge pain. I have suffered so many lost drafts and emptied shopping carts over the years, it’s ridiculous.

I get logged out constantly on my iPad, I always browse in private mode. It’s really annoying. I’ve also lost many posts. I used to get logged out constantly on Firefox but not since upgrading to v60.
