Kbin Login

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

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

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.

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?

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
