Every time I close my browser and then open it, Glide logs out (the builder – all Apps stay logged in). This is recent within the last couple of weeks. I thought it was just a fluke, but it keeps happening _every time_. How can I fix this? ---

That behaviour suggest that the authentication cookie isn’t being saved. - Have you changed any of your browser settings recently, specifically with regards to cookies? - Have you installed any new extensions that might possibly be getting in the way? - Do you get the same behaviour if you open the builder in another browser? - Do you get the same behaviour if you sign into one of your Apps using the same browser? Answers to the above questions may provide clues. ---

I haven’t changed anything, and **all my apps stay signed in** (in the same browser). I don’t like any other browsers, and since I “sign in with Google” that’s the only browser I’ve ever used. Not sure if I could sign in without it. ---

So to clarify, this only happens with the builder? I would suggest trying it on another browser to see if the browser is the culprit here. ---

It seems to stay signed in using Edge. So how do I make the “authentication cookie” stay put? I have made no changes in anything on my computer in five years. I keep getting warned by Microsoft that they will update me to Windows 11 without my permission if I remain this stubborn. ---

If it isn’t the culprit, I would think that’s because of an extension. Do you have any extensions installed on Chrome? Can you try disabling them all to see if it helps? ---

I’d probably go to site settings, and delete site data for [glideapps.com](http://glideapps.com) or just delete all site data (clear cache/cookies). Could be a corrupt cookie. ---

Thanks, Jeff! I also need to thank @Darren_Murphy and @ThinhDinh whose valuable contributions led us to the solution. It must have been a corrupt cookie. And on that note, let me impart some sage wisdom, “He who eats cookies in bed has a crumby night.” ---

Well, it started happening after two browser closes. So I turned off all extensions, per @ThinhDinh, but I only had a few anyway, and no new ones. Still no good. Hard to imagine my cookies getting corrupted so easily. DIsk scan shows no errors. ---

Really hard to say. If the cookie is not actually corrupt, then something is unique to your situation and causing that cookie to expire on exit or in a short amount of time. I’m guessing there is a setting or something that is causing that, but I’m not sure what to look for. ---

Try checking this part: //settings/content/Third-party cookies. If it still doesn’t work, reinstalling Chrome might solve the problem rather than searching for a needle in a haystack. ![Screenshot 2024-08-31 at 12.56.44](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/3/8/3819ab19ae4dd445a03bf1030b3f312514fbb409.png) ![Screenshot 2024-08-31 at 12.57.02](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/9/d/9d2414178787377ee4c1d4d9a9ce09a1defd3355.jpeg) ---

I didn’t add it explicitly; it happened automatically. There might be a setting in your browser that’s not functioning properly.
