    I came onto the forums to ask exactly this question. I too, am having to log in everytime I want to go onto MFP. I am also getting the message on my newsfeed "add friends" - however, if I wait a few seconds, all my newsfeed reappears and I do still have all friends.

    Same here, I have to enter of each of my friends to see how they are, but a lot haven't updated because they could not log

    Something wrong for sure. I have the same issue. I am not going to email all the friends I already have to add them when they are already added. Needs fixing please.

    Same here. There used to be a box you could tick that said "keep me logged in" but it's gone.

    Oh good! I'm not the only one! I am still able to access it from the app on my phone, but I prefer the computer.

    Same. I came to see if anyone else had this issue too. I noticed the website looks a little different but I can't put my finger on it. The colors and logo look different? Maybe site updates are causing log outs. Hope it's temporary, otherwise it's a tad annoying. B)

    Same problem here. Hope they fix it soon. It's a pain having to constantly log in. I'm here several times a day.

    Yeah MFP is making updates - if you are new WELCOME TO MFP!! This happens frequently. The app is still working the desktop version is hit or miss for the news feed. Its super frustrating.

    Same problem; it's useful to come here and discover that I am not alone. It's also only showing me my home page in German, even though I have the language set to English. I was able to get to the English-language forum by adjusting the url to include EN instead of DE, but when I do that for home page it just jumps back to DE.

    I would also like to know why I keep getting logged out for the "diary" portion but not discussions. Yesterday I had to login three times to log my food. This only started a few days ago.

    Please fix this ASAP. It's very frustrating. I'm still very unhappy about the upgrades you made a few months ago with the excessive white space. And now this. Do you people even test?

    Same here. It's been happening for the past three days. Very frustrating. I've tried to contact "the Help" section but no one seems to be able to fix the issue. I have to admit it is a bit unnerving since MFP had a huge issue with hacking years ago. I hope this isn't the case now!! :/

    It logs me out every time now (I finally remember my password though since I've entered it 20 times in 3 days!) and to add insult to injury then it says to add friends yet you know longer can keep up with them on the website.

    I'm having the same issue as the rest of you. Very frustrating, especially not seeing my feed! Hope they get it fixed soon.

    I also keep getting logged out and am super annoyed because I was cooking. I usually have several tabs open and input ingredient weights as I prep several meals. I got halfway through and when I tried to update a measurement, I was logged out and lost everything I'd previously logged.

    Same here. Very annoying. Likely just a 'cookie' issue but frustrating nonetheless.

    Agreed. Super annoying. Never used to happen.

    I get logged out literally every morning. It's incredibly annoying.

    Same here. All last week and still today. I cleared my cache, restarted my computer...nothing has helped. The app works fine but I prefer to use the website from my computer. Easier to read and to type.

    I, too, am constantly getting logged out on desktop. As soon as I close a tab (on Chrome) that has MFP open, I get logged out.

    I'm on Firefox... I don't even have to close the tab and I am getting logged out... it just has to sit there idle...

    If I'm reading y'all correctly, this has been happening to me, too: If I refresh or open a new page in web MFP, it takes me to the login page. (Oddly, that login page has the friend request or message counts on it as if I'd already logged in, in cases where I have new friend requests/messages . . . as if it's getting part way through the login.)

    I reported this through the support portal (Support Ticket 4122657). A staff member helped me for a while, asked for lots of screen shots & and for me to try things (I did everything requested, sent info requested, etc.). Finally, I was told the staff couldn't recreate the problem and was told it was forwarded to the developers (with a politely-phrased implication that they probably wouldn't get to it, because it was just me. Perhaps it's not just me? 😆

    At first, it happened just in Chrome, the browser I used most often. They asked me to try an alternate browser, and I found web MFP seemed to work OK in MS Edge. Now Edge does the same thing Chrome does. Most recently, when I tried to get into the support portal to see my support ticket's history, it presents a login there and won't let me in at all (with the ID/password that logs in elsewhere). I'm now interacting with MFP support about that.

    If you haven't done so yet, please put in a support request about this problem, if it's still happening for you.

    Got this response from support on Feb 6, "Our tech teams are aware of these issues and are currently investigating them. We hope to have them resolved as soon as possible."

    This is annoying, what genius made the change? "If it ain't broke, don't fix it."

    Came here to see if there was any solution to this problem that I am also having. Hopefully there will be a fix soon, but I'm not going to hold my breath.
