Billion Dollar company can’t even fixed this shit
More like a trillion dollar company, and they put out some of the worst software in the world.
I tick that box a hundred times a day and can confirm it doesn’t do shit (at least in my work environment).
try clearing your cookies or whatever on whatever browser and sign in page for that, I need to do that every now and again and I lose my shit every time.
Sadly I think it has more to do with the way Windows handles stuff in general. My personal machine seems to have no issues, LMDE with the foxes (Firefox/LibreWolf); my work computer though, Windows with the chromes (Edge/Chrome) seems to get confused the moment their is a second profile in the browser.
All that being said, I’ve definitely tried clearing the cookies and just living with it.
The more times they require a sign in, the more places they can track you across anonymous/ private tabs.
I never have to re-sign into, well, anything as long as I:
- Don’t reformat/reinitialize the device I save the login on
- Don’t log in from another device on services that only allow 1 concurrent login (like Steam)
- Don’t clear my cookies
The last item is gonna hurt a lot of the extreme privacy people. I know y’all never save cookies.
Wait, since when does Steam only allow one concurrent login?
It’s been that way since release.
That’s just not true, I switch between devices all the time
You use two or more computers at the same time?
This is directly from Steam’s support page on the topic:
Steam does not support multiple players using one Steam account simultaneously - games associated with a Steam account are licensed for the sole use of the account holder.
If multiple users attempt to log in and play simultaneously with one Steam account, the user who logged in first will eventually receive an “Invalid Steam UserID Ticket” error message and be forced to log back in to continue playing (if the first user logs back in, the second user will receive this error message).
It’s literally worked that way since 2003.
Oh at the same time, nevermind, no I don’t do that. I was thinking about having a device logged, not necessarily turned on
Well, you’re lucky then. I don’t do any of those things on my work computer, and that checkbox might as well not exist.
I have to use this shit for work. If you don’t set your cookies to auto delete it is basically impossible to go through the Microsoft SSO after around a week. Just use a decent password manager if you can and press enter 4 or five times.
It would be that easy, if not for “please approve login on your microsoft authenticator app” step which means i also have to pull out my phone, unlock it, find the stupid app and then type in the code
Think god I don’t have to deal with that. It’s not even surprising that it can be even shittier though.
Microsoft successfully converting a generation to Linux one Log in at a time, I commend Microsoft for having a socialist agenda so secret they don’t even know about it.
That you own media you bought.
After that, “I have read and agree with the terms and conditions”.
Here’s a reminder to sign this initiative if you are a citizen of EU and spread the word about it everywhere if you are not!
never bothered with that as i usually dont spend more than 5 minutes in there
Based only on how often I get dipshit prompts like this one, I must be one of the only people to keep hitting “No”, “Never Remember Password”, unchecking “Stay Signed in”, disabling “Password Manager”
I have a fucking login. I remember my password. It would take 4 quadrillion years to bruteforce due to number of characters and character diversity. I don’t need automated help.
Yeah but that won’t help you if your password gets stolen somehow and someone is trying to log in from India or something
If anything, remembering your password or persistent sessions are worse for security. You’re better off with mfa, passwordless authentication and using a password manager
Yes it would be exactly the same actually, how would any of the things I described help in that scenario?
My bad I thought you were talking about 2 factor
Yeah 2FA is cool.
Sorry. You’re not a tenant of this place. Maybe try another account with the same email address but a different password that is from a home or work or student or was made by your employer or by you or is attached to your domain name, and give us the code on your authenticator and the one we just pretended to email you and sorry something went wrong and we need to quit and you need teams classic or modern or your OneDrive for business or personal or the sync service isn’t running…
Or local account.
Reading this gave me PTSD. Locked out due to expired password (what is a reminder email, who needs those?), can’t access anything corporate, submitted ticket to IT on web portal, IT is trying to reach me via Teams…
More lies.
I switched from Windows to Linux yesterday.
Still get this on Linux for school and work emails.
Cool, But I still need it for my Minecraft account
You pays your money, you takes your choice.
🏴☠️
I was but I play multiplayer mostly.
So you on Bedrock Edition…?
Java.
Java has multiplayer as well, and not all servers allow cracked Minecraft. There are “online” servers (that require you to buy the game) and “offline” servers (that allow everyone).
Must be nice.
Death by 1000 sign-in screens.
Apple*: We care about your privacy.
*or basically any company that collect data
Apple is way more privacy conscious than Google, which I appreciate.
Google is literally anti-privacy so… “better than google” is … still not necessarily good.

Kroger’s stupid fucking app does this every time for their separate pharmacy login from their normal login. I just gave up and always do guest refill. It’s a pain in the ass but it actually takes less time.
Same for Ubisoft Launcher.
