All of a sudden, Safari shows symptoms of Alzheimer's: My login data get lost again and again, although they're stored in the cookies. I fill them in again (after searching around for a while), I remain logged in for a day or so – and then it's the same again.
Any idea what might be going on?
Thank you very much in advance!
OS X version?
Are you synchronizing Safari with iCloud?
x.8.2
Yes
This issue is caused by Safari synchronization in iCloud. You can either disable it in the iCloud preference pane, or use a rather complex workaround found by some ASC members (which perhaps could be improved):
Back up all data. Disable Safari synchronization on all your devices.
Rearrange the bookmarks in the Bookmarks window. From the Safari menu bar, select
File ▹ Export Bookmarks…
and export your bookmarks. Then delete all bookmarks.
Re-enable Safari synchronization and let it sync the empty bookmark set to all devices.
Select
File ▹ Import Bookmarks…
to restore the bookmark set you just deleted. It will sync.
