Have you updated you browser recently? There are options to clear cookies after each session or or a designated period of time. You might want to look at that. You can also set "exceptions" to keep cookies permanently for particular sites. Just a thought

That's all you are supposed to see, when you see "Keeps" and log in it should stick unless your cookies are being deleted.

What browser and its version are you using?
Are you using any Add-Ons (App) with your browser that self-destructs cookies?

Switched the search engine from "Edge" to "Chrome". No help. Made sure cookies were accepted. No help. Went back to Edge since I like it better.

I use Windows 10 and the cookies were turned on. For some reason they were turned off in the desktop mode and causing my problem. Took your advice and looked into cookies a little further and Lo and Behold, success. Thanks for the suggestions guys.

Reply #9 - Oct 20^th, 2018 at 11:25am My windows 10 like to change things after it "updates" itself. It's a bit annoying to have to check and reset preferences once you get them set the way you want. Glad you got it sorted out
