Safari will not stay logged into Facebook/Pinterest/Fitocracy/etc. after Mavericks upgrade. How to fix?

After upgrading to Mavericks, Safari now will not stay logged into any site that requires a username/password, such as Facebook, Pinterest, Fitocracy, etc. I can log in and browse for a minute or so, then all of a sudden it is as if I am not logged in. As an example, Facebook will require me to log in again, remember browser, and then I get the security warning email since I have that feature activated with Facebook. It is as if Safari completely forgets everything. I believe it has to do with the new iCloud username/password sync function... How does this get fixed?

MacBook Pro (15-inch Mid 2010), Mac OS X (10.6.6)

Try deleting the Safari cache.



From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Advanced tab.


Select: Show Develop menu in menu bar


Now click Develop from the menu bar. From the drop down menu click Empty Caches.


Quit and relaunch Safari.



If you still have problems, try troubleshooting Safari extensions.


From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test. I


If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.


If it's not an extensions issue, try troubleshooting third party plug-ins.


Back to Safari > Preferences. This time select the Security tab. Deselect: Allow all other plug-ins. Quit and relaunch Safari to test.


If that made a difference, instructions for troubleshooting plugins here.
