Everyday, sign in to GitHub

[jidanni]

I am not on a trip. I'm at home. However everyday I have to go through the same routine:

Sure, you might say what are two little taps? What's the big deal?

All I know is other apps remember me for months and months, not just about one day.

Hi @jidanni! I understand how frustrating it is to sign in every day. This is a common issue on mobile devices, and here are some solutions that should help:

Most likely causes and fixes:

1. Browser clearing cookies/data automatically

   • In Chrome Beta (which I see you're using), go to Settings → Privacy and security → Clear browsing data
   • Make sure "Cookies and site data" is NOT set to clear automatically on exit
   • Also check Settings → Site settings → Cookies → ensure cookies are allowed

2. Battery optimization killing browser sessions

   • Go to your phone's Settings → Apps → Chrome Beta → Battery
   • Set to "Unrestricted" or disable battery optimization for Chrome
   • This prevents Android from clearing app data to save battery

3. Use the GitHub Mobile App instead

   • The official GitHub app (available on Google Play Store) handles authentication much better than mobile browsers
   • It uses persistent authentication tokens instead of cookies
   • Once signed in, you typically stay signed in for months

4. Enable "Stay signed in" option

   • When signing in, make sure you're checking any "Keep me signed in" or "Remember me" checkbox if available
   • Some versions of the mobile site have this option

5. Check if you're in Incognito/Private mode

   • Incognito mode clears all data when you close the browser
   • Make sure you're using regular Chrome tabs, not private ones

Quick recommendation: Try the official GitHub mobile app first - it's specifically designed to handle persistent authentication on mobile devices and should solve your daily sign-in issue.

Let me know if any of these solutions work for you!
