Q: Remember user name and stay logged in?

I use two step authentication for my Apple ID and use the same ID as my identity at these forums.

It's a real pain to have to log in every time I revisit these forums.

Is there any way to have my user remembered so I don't have to use two step every time I need to ask a question?
Thanks!

    Hi Larry,

     

    You need to make sure you are using your browser in a way that allows it to save passwords and cookies. Depending on choices you made in the past you might need to reset the browser's settings to allow this. Next time you sign in you can opt to let your browser save your password if it doesn't do so already.

    When you authenticate the browser with the verification code delivered to your device make sure to tick the box Remember this browser. It is easily overlooked.

    You should find that on subsequent visits your email address and password are entered for you and clicking Sign In will log in without requiring authentication.

    You will need to go through the same steps for each browser that you want to use routinely with Apple Support Communities.

    turingtest2, the issue is staying logged in, not having a username and password be remembered by the browser.

    It wouldn't be the first time I've misread the question, but in this case I think I read it correctly.

    I use two step authentication for my Apple ID and use the same ID as my identity at these forums.

    It's a real pain to have to log in every time I revisit these forums.

    Is there any way to have my user remembered so I don't have to use two step every time I need to ask a question?
    Thanks!

     

    If you want to stay signed in for longer start a dummy reply on a new tab and then ignore it. Seems to keep me logged in most of the time.

    This is what I thought larryd517 was asking.

    That is the original post quoted, though not all in the quote box. If there was a supplementary question or observation asdfromakkkak forgot to include it.
