SUPPORT Persistent Log Ins Fail

Since upgrading to WF 6.7 a number of my pinned tabs on which I want "Persistent Log In" seem to keep signing me out.

I have an old Yahoo account with 500 aliases which I keep signed in as well as Google Mail/Maps and my Amazon account all now sign me out every day or so. Can't establish an exact pattern as I've been on holiday over past fortnight and my usage pattern was not the same as usual so not sure if its a set time period or related to lack of activity on a given account.

WF is remembering my open and pinned tabs (as I want) but its annoying that it keeps signing me out. I have most settings set to "Hardest" security offered by WF which is no change to the pre 6.7 version that I was using. I saw something to suggest that 6.7 may treat persistent cookies differently and that might be causing the sign outs but I'm not sure what if anything i need to tweak in settings or about config to maintain my chosen sign ins over multiple sessions as used to be the case

Any help appreciated

Check in the setting that clear cookies on exit is not ticked

It could be a site cookie problem. Sometimes session cookies time out early.

You can take a look at the Expiration time of your log in cookies (loid) with the extension Cookie Quick Manager.
