Did clearing cookies and cache fix the problem? I've accessed from four different devices today and not had to log in again so I don't think it is a problem with the whole site. Link to comment

It's just done it again on the windows 7 + chrome laptop. I'm not fussed about it, logging back in isn't exactly a problem. Oh and I fogot to say it doesn't seem to be related to biscuits. I type my user name in the little box and a password (unique to this site) in the other little box. Link to comment

I strongly recommend you upgrade to two factor if you aren't going to use your google, FB or twitter two factor logins. You work in IT - you know username and password is not secure We can revisit after the site upgrade. Link to comment

I might try 2FA via twitter, but it's a bit of a pain, and I don't particularly like letting twitter control other things. Link to comment

To be fair, what they make you use is barely IT There isn't any control, just identity. It's (much) better to have a few trusted identity providers than a million passwords (which you can't trust) all over the web. Link to comment

Win 7 desktop, Windows 10 laptop, Windows 7 Laptop, Windows 7 professional desktop at work, Windows 10 tablet, Android phone and iPad No matter which I use, even if switching between one to the other directly it always asks me to log in. I use username password registered with VillaTalk and not any social media account. Havent cleared cache as it seemed obvious wasnt a cahce problem with as many devices as I use. EDIT - just cleared the cache on chrome using laptop win7.. visited villatalk on my phone (on which I logged in this morning) and it still asks me to log in again, so hasnt resolved he problem.

You have to clear cookies and cache on all devices. If there was a problem causing something to be wrong with the cookies the site created, or bad content was cached then you might have this on all your devices. Link to comment
