Safari 15 keeps logging me out of several sites every week or so

I've increased "remove history items" to 1 month - no luck

I've disabled all extensions - no luck


Still there are some sites which keep me logged in, but google.com, youtube.com, facebook.com, ebay.com - they are all throwing me out every week.


Other browsers doesn't do that.

Safari 14 didn't do that.


Am I alone with this porblem?

I may just be lucky, but after nearing a year of this problem I followed the first two steps in this post on the developer forums explaining how the user there fixed it by:

Resetting all experiments: Develop -> Experimental Features -> Reset all to defaults
Re-enabling Safari -> Preferences -> Privacy -> enable "Prevent cross site tracking" + enable "Allow privacy-preserving measurements of ad effectiveness" (I suspect this is the issue but not sure)

I initially had several sites log out once, but I haven't experienced any further unexpected logouts in over a week, even when using the console/inspector. I hope I didn't just jinx myself 🤞


I'm running Safari 16.1 on Ventura 13.0 and a 2.9 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7.

I'm wondering about the same thing, it's a really horrible and annoying bug. The two leads I have now on what causes it is:


  • when opening and using the web console, so I guess it mostly annoys developers.
  • according to other users who do not have this problem, they are using x86 systems, so it seems to affect the M1 version only.


With these leads in mind it shouldn't be too hard to find right?

I'm personally on an intel mac and have had this problem frequently enough to switch browsers.


The point about the web console is interesting. I've noticed it in plain safari with a web console open in safari technology preview.


Another interesting fact is when I get logged out of google and log in again, I get a security email from google as if I just logged in from a new browser/computer/location that it doesn't recognize.

Waiting for new update from Apple and install them right away to see if they have fixed the issue with Safari but nope. Even the 15.4 update still have this issue. It’s insane, I loved using Safari because of sync with other devices and keychain but seriously Apple 6 months and you cannot resolve this? Shame


You left me no option then to switch browser as I am starting to feel, this will not be fixed soon. I have numerous sent numerous complaints from feedback aap and called Apple couple of times on this and no good outcome.

It keeps randomly hitting me. I had the same issues after upgrading. Then it seemed to go away for about 10 days. Today, it's constantly reset itself. I'm getting sick of having to go through two factor authentication, to then repeat it again, half an hour later. The only difference between today's activity and yesterday is that I have Visual Studio running and had Safari set as my testing browser.

У меня аналогичная проблема. Facebook, Yandex, Google, Youtube, Twitter, Instagram, VK и другие сайты. Техподдержка ничего не может сказать по этому поводу, кроме как "так и должно быть" или "возможно, это проблемы сайтов, которые вы используете". Но: во-первых, все сайты сразу не могут производить разрыв сессий; во-вторых, в других браузерах такого не наблюдается.


I have a similar problem. Facebook, Yandex, Google, Youtube, Twitter, Instagram, VK and other sites. Technical support cannot say anything about this, except as "it should be" or "maybe these are the problems of the sites you are using." But: firstly, all sites cannot immediately break sessions; secondly, this is not the case in other browsers.
