Having to Log In Each Time

Since the infamous hack, I changed my password and now have to log in each time I visit the site; even though I have clicked the "remember me" box when signing in.

Any suggestions for a fix on my end?

Thanks you.

Try clearing your cookies. Most sites store saved passwords in encrypted cookies and it's possible your Forge cookie still has your old password in it.

If you're using Firefox, open the "Tools" menu, click "Options", then "Privacy". You'll see a list of privacy options; one of them will be Cookies. Click the "Clear" button.

If you're using Internet Explorer, stop and download a real browser (just kidding). Open the "Tools" menu and click "Internet Options". On the "General" tab of the dialog that opens up there's a button labeled "Delete Cookies...". Click that button.

Afterwards, you should be able to log in with your new password (don't forget to check "Remember Me"), leave the site, and come back without having to log in again. If autologin still doesn't work at that point, well, I'm out of ideas.

Hope that helped,
