My MFP says I've logged in 7 days in a row, but it's only been 2. I know that for sure. A week or so ago it said I had logged in 5 days in a row when I had only logged in 1 day. Has this happened to anyone else?

    It counts any day you visit the website as a log in day, whether you log food in your diary or not. Could that be it?

    Nope. I haven't logged in at all. It's the weirdest thing. I keep getting emails that people like my status that I've logged in for so many days but I haven't.

    Mine did this for a while, giving me credit when I didn't log. It never used to. Do you have a fitness tracker synced? I can't be sure, but I suspect that when my fitbit syncs with MFP it may give me credit because it accesses my account. But it never used to do that so I can't be sure.

    How did you resolve this? I've had this happen several times. 35 days this time!!! It's not me lol. I would like to get back on track but it's not accurate. I did a counter reset...advice from another search. If you miss a day it should automatically reset. I use android app on my phone, iPad and also use the app is on my desktop computer.

    That is what I was thinking. I think the app registers as logged in when it's still running. I've had a few days I know I logged in late and entered food, but it still counted it as a streak.

    It doesn't bother me that it automatically happened. It guilted me to get in there and make sure food got entered for the day, then be better about consistency of use in the future.

    Also, MFP had some major issues in late December 2015 that were not fully fixed until early January 2016. I noticed after those fixes, there seemed to be a grace period (maybe an additional 24 hours or so? not sure) beyond midnight before the login streak was reset to zero.

    its likely if you are logged in on your phone (have the app open on your phone or other device and dont realize it) it is still tabulating days.

    mine will log me in for the day hours before i actually LOG in for the day (i do log in every day). I have my streak notifications disabled now, but when I had them on, I would notice them posting at odd times - like when i knew i was still in bed- and that was the only explanation LOL

    It's definitely a count of logins, not food logging. So, just something like logging in to post in the Community or look something up will increment your login-days count.

    Also, I believe some linked devices (like some fitness trackers, some wireless/IOT bodyweight scales) may count as a login when they connect on your behalf.
