Problems with iPhone on RedSquare.

[formariz 12,280]

I use three devices to go on Red Square. My PC , iPad and my iPhone. 90% of time I use the phone. Unless one signs out they stayed logged on all the time. However now the phone logs off the site immediately if I go into something else having to log in again and again . Real annoying since site is littered with adds that keep actively covering the log in part. I am not a total idiot with these things but I am stumped with this. Any ideas?

This happened to me for a while as well.  I even made a separate account for my phone, just to get away from that.  I got a new iPhone 14 Pro (same as before) and the issue went away. I can’t help, but have experienced it.

 

also, my phone and iPad both have the same Apple ID, like my old phone and iPad.

@formariz I have a 16” MacBook Pro, a iPad Pro and a iPhone SE all relatively recent, that I use for the site sine I found it in 2021. I’ve never had an issue with login so far unless I cleaned out cookies. Possibly a browser security level issue?

I use only Private Browsing on my iPhone and iPad so login is always lost whenever I close the window or “swipe” the app to quit it. On my MacBook, I leave the app and window open  in regular browsing and login persists until bi-weekly “clear all history."

I do use LastPass across all three devices to manage my 00’s of login credentials and that saves typing and memory (Important: use an extremely strong Master Password). It is one of several good password managers and pre-existed Apple’s now more robust Passwords app. (And yes, I’m very aware of the 2022 LastPass data breach and its ramifications.)

Hold on. That may be it. Since everything else I have to log in is really an app but RedSquare is not that may be it. I am going to try it without the Private Browsing.

Browser cookies is what keeps you “logged in” private mode removes all cookies when the window closes, hence logging you out every time.

Another reason to dump iPhone in favor of Android. Unless I manually log out (and who would want to?), I'm always logged in. 

  Waiting patiently for the Android haters.

Private vs. “let everyone track you” are via settings in iPhone and easily adjusted to suit each user.

Being an ex-Google employee let’s just say I will stick with iPhone.

That was it. Private Browsing logs you off all the time. Thank you everyone. Glad i brought it up it was driving me nuts.
