Why do I keep getting signed out?

Account and sign-in

SOS signs you out if Keep me signed in is off or your sign-in runs out.

Steps

  1. When you sign in, leave Keep me signed in ticked. It is on by default.
  2. Do not use a private or incognito window. It forgets everything when you close it.
  3. Do not set your browser to delete site data when you close it.
  4. Open SOS now and then. Each time it opens it renews your saved sign-in.
  5. Only keep yourself signed in on a device that is yours.

The usual reasons

Keep me signed in was off. Then closing the browser ends your sign-in, and reloading the page can too. In a phone app, closing the app fully ends it.

You have not opened SOS for a while. The saved sign-in runs out after some time.

Your password or email address changed on another device. That signs out every other device.

Your browser cleared its saved data, or you used a private window. SOS keeps your sign-in in the browser's saved data.

The account was suspended. A suspended account cannot stay signed in.

If it happens within minutes

If you are signed out again and again while Keep me signed in is ticked and you use a normal window, write to admin@sosforchange.org. Tell us your device and browser.
