Any ideas on how to stay logged in so I only need to click the yes button?Each device may store a cookie for 30 days that shows you logged in.?

I use Safari on my iPhone (iOS 12.0.1) and on my MacBook. I am able to Follow without having to log in.
I have set a password. i.e. I am not using a default password from "email me a link". And I stay logged in on both devices. Also no apps on my iPhone to prevent cookies. Odd that your two devices won't play nicely with each other. Frances -- /g/GroupManagersForum/wiki /static/help More help: use the search button at the top of the Messages list. |

I was having the same problem.? On my ipad I never had to log in again but on my iPhone I did.? I went in and told my iPhone to remember the password and use touch id. Now every time I click on a link it takes me to my group but there is a little box that says use "my e-mail address", if i click on that, it then allows me to use touch id to log into groups io.? Not sure why it goes directly on my ipad but not my phone but at least I don't have to type in this info every time now.

I may have started this discussion about a week ago.I suspect this was a coincidence. Various parts of Y!G seem to come and go at random these days. Another part of the mystery is that before I was logged off, I had changed the banner photo on a Groups.io group.Logging in starts the 30-day clock on the browser cookie. If they delete the cookie, they will find themselves logged out. If the cookie expires, they will also find themselves logged out. How many times they visit the site in the interim does not matter. I do realize that this can be disconcerting, especially to those accustomed to being logged out for "inactivity." One time, I was in the middle of composing a message; I hit the "send" button and mysteriously found myself on the home page. It took a minute before I realized that my browser cookie had expired while I was in the message editor! Thankfully, once I logged in again the message draft was still available and ready to be sent. To reiterate: -- The cookie is created by logging in. -- It expires in 30 days, if you don't explicitly log out, or delete your browser cookies. -- If you want to reset the cookie, you have to log in again. -- Repeatedly visiting the site has no effect on when the cookie expires. Only by logging in again will the cookie "clock" be reset. -- Group emails will be delivered to you whether you are logged in or not. Hope this helps, Bruce? -- The system Help is your friend.??/static/help |

Hi Bruce, I googled the problem I am having and this old reply if yours in group managers form came up. I don’t know whether you can help me with this. A few months ago, out of the blue, I started to have to log back into my group each time I go to the website on my iPhone 6. Before this I always stayed logged in, presumably for 30 days since my previous login. Cookies are enabled in my Settings. ?Each time I log in to my group I have to agree to except cookies, but when I checked in advanced settings for Safari and search for groups io, no cookie came up. It seems as though, despite excepting cookies from groups.io, just their cookies are not getting through, because I have miles and miles and miles of cookies in my advanced settings for every other website I’ve ever been to. Do you have any idea why this could be happening??
-- Thanks for your consideration of my problem, whether or not you know how to fix it. Deborah |

Yes there is a difference between visiting the site and logging into the site

Visiting has no effect on the logging in clock but logging in resets it to 30 days I log in every day Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) On 05/04/2021 09:22, Andy Wedge wrote:

One of my list members is having a version of this problem. ?He gets the daily summary and just clicks on links of posts he wants to read on the website. ?On his iphone he stays logged in and can go back and forth between the summary email and the list website to read posts. ?But on his new iPad, he has to relog in for each post and it is driving him crazy. ?I went through his settings as best I could remotely and all seemed set correctly, but for some reason, his groups.io password is not getting stored on his iPad. ?Any suggestions for what else to check?
