I have been having a lot of problems recently with websites suddenly not recognising my log-ins. It’s happening again and again on different sites, and it’s really annoying. I know it’s not my input error, so I can’t think what the problem is.
Is anyone else having similar problems, or do you have an idea why this might be happening? _________________ Jumping is just dressage with speed-bumps. |

Are you using Chrome? If so then unless you are logged in to your Google account then each time you restart all saved passwords etc are lost. This was a recent Chrome update and is a massive PITA. _________________ Some guests just need a sympathetic pat. On the head. With a hammer. |

No, I use Firefox. But I'm having similar problems on Safari too. _________________ Jumping is just dressage with speed-bumps. |

Same with Microsoft Edge. Drives one mad, when one is used to the convenience of stored details. I suppose it is a security matter and deliberate. _________________ www.athenagreece.com/ |

Good idea, CSE, although I haven't cleared out any cookies for a long time; also the post was prompted (end-of-tether wise) by trying to log in to a service on my TV which I had previously set up on my iPad, so cookies wouldn't come into that one.
Still thinking . . .
