This appears to be a bit of a bug (or a poorly designed intentional act). Essentially, logging in to a new device (or a new browser on an existing device) can log you out of all other devices.

  • Logging in gives you auth cookies that are valid for one week - auth cookies consist of a member ID and a random string that is unique to your account (but all sessions logged into your account keep the same cookie).
  • Every time you visit the site again while the cookies are still valid, the expiry on the cookies is refreshed, so you will stay logged in for another week.
  • If you log into another device after the original week grace period, you will log out all other sessions, because the value for the auth cookie is regenerated.

It's a combination of doing something after or before one week elapses and signing in to a different device.

This also explains why I never have this problem, but can create it if I log in to Chrome, for example, after not logging in for a week on that browser.

Not an issue for me. I do "remember me" on all my devices and it doesn't matter to me if I get logged out or not.

That is the pattern I have noticed. Thanks for digging this up.
