Constant automatic signout is irritating

I keep getting signed out of b.net, sometimes even whilst active. This never happens on any other site. I'm on an iPad 2, most likely somehow related? Anyway, I hope this can be fixed.

  • Intended operation: Bungie.net uses a session cookie to keep you signed in. Your session lasts for 60 (I think) minutes. It is renewed everytime you refresh the site. However, every 24 hours or if you close your web browser all the way down, you have to sign in again. Because we use external authentication systems, we can't just assume you still own the account you're using, and we've found that silent reauth generally doesn't work very well (it can lead to infinite refresh loops). The best you can do is to click the "remember me" button in your chosen login method's sign-in screen. This will allow you to skip typing stuff in, but you will have to still manually initiate the process when your session expires. We're unlikely to change this policy given the obvious security ramifications.

    • I just hate when the browser on the Iphone crashes and logs me out. I don't mind signing in once in a while but every couple minutes gets irritating.

    • Microsoft decided to get fancy with their logins, it's annoying. Also, what Achronos said.

    • It is definitely annoying. I don't check that 'remember me' box, but it shouldn't log me out while I still have the same browser open. On the old Bnet, it would log you out when you closed your browser or your computer shut down. Now it just does it regularly.

      I believe this happens on all mobile sites, But does the iPad offer the "Keep me signed in" Box? If so you could use that. But if not, I think its just added security for mobile users just in case you were to leave your mobile device lying around somewhere.

      • When you sign in try clicking on the "Remember Me" checkbox. I think that might help.

        • I wish it was like the old bnet where you were just always signed in(or at least on that same browser/computer)
