I’ve probably spent an hour in the past month just trying to login to kbin, clearing site data, refreshing, retrying. I thought the bug was fixed recently but it’s worse than ever now.
I don’t want to stop using kbin but this is untenable.
They tweaked a few things in the back end when this was discussed a few days ago. I think that did result in everybody being logged out once or twice, but my experience is it’s been better since then.
Not for me. I got logged out and couldn’t log in for days. Finally I cleared the site data and it worked. Now I have to do that every time the problem occurs. It seems worsened, not fixed.
What are you using to access Kbin?
I’m logged into kbin on a Firefox browser and I’m not really experiencing what you are. What browser are you using?
I use Firefox on mobile to access currently; I’ll switch over to Artemis after kbin.social instance is available. With Firefox I do experience logout from time to time, however I have my password and username autosaved, so login is as simple as a click.
It’s not really annoying at all, and quite frankly it’s much better then enriching that Reddit asshat.
I got logged out and couldn’t log in for days.
What do you mean by “you couldn’t log in for days”?
Kbin does log me out once or twice weekly for no known reason, but I have no difficulties logging in again. You say you’ve cleared site data — cache and cookie? If you’ve tried it twice and it hasn’t worked, time to open a ticket with the help desk (admins).
The problem is that I have to clear it every time I get logged out, which is nuts.
That does sound frustrating. Wish I had some good advice to offer.
Have you tried a different browser? I’m on Firefox, but some sites don’t play nice with it and I switch to Chrome for a few minutes…
Try asking in /m/kbinMeta?
I get logged out on occasion but the remember me option works well when i log back in. So FWIW i’m not seeing this myself.
I get invalid CSFR Token constantly and only diving deep into browser settings to clear site data, then clicking the login page again (not just refreshing it) works now. I used to be able to get past it sometimes without doing all that but now I need it every time, and I’m often logged out after an hour or so.
Have you posted on it on the bug tracker yet?

I wonder what changed. The login bug has been gone for me for a while now.
