Browser session expire almost every day. Public list of my re-logins

BE HELPED šŸ’¬
1

For some reason I need to log in almost every day anew, which is annoying. I use password manager so it is annoying, but I can ā€˜ignoreā€™ that. But if it happens to usual internet users, it will totally break their OFF using/contributing experience. Because most of them donā€™t use password managers. That means, every day they need to call to mind their account password and enter it manually to be able to use the OFF website comfortably. Especially with these ā€˜bot-limitsā€™ that were added in last time and limit usual users as well making it hard to use the main website without having an account. And in every project you need to log in separately (OOF, OPF, OBF, Wiki etc), so it is more than 1 re-login every day, if you take part in many projects.

I started this journal only yesterday (2026-05-24), but it happens to me from the moment I started to be a contributor (January/February). Same device, same browser profile/session (no incognito tabs), the checkbox ā€œRemember meā€ is chosen.

Is it bug or I do something in a wrong way?

My re-logins to OFF sites
Is there any way to know if my product report in Nutriparol was checked and approved or it was declined?

Hi @Libra this is indeed a bug ā€¦

Sorry we are under time constraint, but I hope some volunteer can help track down the problem.

As said by StƩphane on Slack, #productopener is the right place to post this.

Thanks for taking the time to report.

By the way, login on openfoodfacts and openproductsfacts are indeed different (due to a technical constraint).

I also want to say that other users (like me) are not experiencing this bug. Do you eventually know if your ip adresse is changing (test with something like https://www.whatismyip.com/) ?

Hi! I have dynamic ip address, that changes every day. Maybe I see the reason now. At least, I see the possible logic here

As I wrote, it is annoying for me, but not too much, because I use password manager so it takes 10 seconds maximum. But for other users it can be much more critical and annoying :slight_smile:

I need to relogin on the website every time I use the Android app:

  • Login on the website,
  • modify a product on the Android app,
  • go back to the website and find out Iā€™m logged out now.

Also I have a static IP address on my computer so thatā€™s not the issue. Even my phone would have the same (public) IP address since itā€™s connected to the WiFi network. As far as I can tell the issue is that one can only be logged in from one ā€˜deviceā€™ at a time.
