Apps like Bank of America have Problems with iOS 7

When I upgraded to iOS7, I started having problems logging into certain apps that required a password. Apps like Bank of America, Etrade and Starbucks were all giving me a problem. I am sure other apps exist that may exhibit similar problems. I called Apple Support and they said other people were having similar problems. I thought I should post this so other folks experiencing the same issues may find this helpful. The solution that Apple Support gave me was to reset my iPhone, which is a real headache.


I finally figured out how to fix the problem. You have to set Safari to accept cookies. Once I did this I was able to log in successfuly to all of these apps.


Go to Settings > Safari. Look for a feature called Block Cookies in the Privacy & Security section. Set the Block Cookies option to "Never."


Once you do this, make sure to double click the home button and close the apps so they are not running in the background anymore. You don't have to close all the running apps. Just close the ones with which you were having a problem. You just double click the home button and flick the apps in the up direction to get rid of them.


Once you are sure the apps are not running in the background, try logging in again. With the Block Cookies option set to "Never," the apps should allow you to log in successfuly.


Hope this works.
