Topic: Password reset

Posted under General

I keep having to reset my password to log in if I don't log in for a few weeks or so. Just had to do it a few minutes ago. I am certain of the password since I always use the same one here. Is there any way to not have to do this so often in the future?

I apologize if this isn't the right place for this.

I think if you use the site often it never logs you out. I haven't logged out or needed to log back in for months now. Are you active on the site?

If you are and it still logs you out then sorry, there is no feature or setting to disable that would keep you logged in that I am aware of

It's a common issue for people having this problem that they need to clear out their cache and cookies. You will need to put in your password afterwards, true, but it should avoid you having to reset it.

I thought we had fixed that

It's a browser feature, not a problem. If someone goes to a lot of less-than-reputable porn sites, they get a bunch of malware and invalid cookie sessions. Can muck up the works. It's not the only source of malware (Hi Washington Post!), but it's common.

Your theory is just as valid, too. If the site cookies have changed, then his might be too old.

I don't own a computer; I use an iPod touch exclusively. I'm not sure those can get viruses...

I'm not really that active, and I don't think my account's been compromised since everything is as I left it. Just a bit annoying.

Next time it doesn't let you log in, try a few things instead of resetting your password and let me know if they work. I don't really know anything about iPods, so some of these may be impossible, but:

1. Try a different browser, if you can
2. Try removing all e621 cookies in your browser first, if you can

Hey I browse 50-50 on an iPod touch as well. It only supports the browser safari, and clearing cookies requires a rather extensive purge of some information, if it can even be done without wiping clean the whole browser

To clear all cookies from Safari, tap Settings > Safari > Clear Cookies and Data.

Well there you go, you can do that part easy, but you are still stuck with just safari
