In this case, it would also be useful to know whether you are using a password, or your twitter, Facebook or Google session to connect. Also, whether this is a recent development. Link to comment

My last paragraph applies to you too This might simply be a security improvement if it is asking you to confirm identity when you change device. I've just tried on another Chromebook and I had to log in again. I'm using a Google session to authenticate so it's one click. 1 Link to comment

So are we saying over the past 72 hours something has changed so that you can no longer be logged into the site on 2 devices simultaneously then Link to comment

The last site update was a little over two weeks ago and I've not made any changes to settings since then. Has your browser updated around that time? Link to comment
0 sidcow Posted January 18, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted January 18, 2022 Has there been an issue with VT today? I keep having to sign in again and again. I have started using my email rather than my username. Link to comment
