That bug where AO3 force logs you out whenever you open the browser has started happening nearly every time I visit on my phone. So far it seems the only way to fix this is to close all mobile browser windows, clear all the cached stuff from the mobile browser, then close the browser and restart the phone, then open AO3 and it will miraculously recognize my login credentials again. Doing this multiple times in one day, as has happened a couple of times so far, is pretty annoying. I think maybe it doesn't happen if I don't go there on the desktop browser?, but sometimes needs must.

That's a known bug??? I just figured I signed myself out by accident and am blanking on my password as I usually do.

I thought to check the known issues page, and sure enough... yes.

I'm glad I didn't change my password again, then!

... I mean, I can't remember what my password is, but I'm glad I didn't change it just because of the bug!

On my desktop today, after I cleared the cache and everything (I do that once in a while), it wouldn't recognize my login O.o

Yeah clearing cache didn't work on the phone which was why I restarted it. On the desktop I'd probably start by killing the browser processes though, then just restarting the OS or logging out and back in, but if that didn't work, restarting the computer.
