Login Info Doesn't Stick on Android and iOS Devices

Subject says it all.

TFL login user ID and password retain fine on Mac desktop- but neither do on iPad or Android tablet and cell phone. Other site logins keep fine on the mobile devices.

Not sure why that would be happening, Chas, but it's likely something in the configuration of the device and nothing we can control.

For your cell, have you tried using Tapatalk?

It's an app that makes navigating forums like TFL a lot easier.

Works fine for me. PC/PC/Android/Android.

As Mike suggested, it's probably caused by one of the 'privacy' settings on the affected devices.

OK, thanks. I'll take a look at the mobile device settings.

Look for something that handles cookies, or 'data collection'.

(Just a guess. That's where I'd start.)

I think FrankenMauser is on to something. Be sure to check if your mobile device browser allows websites to store cookies.
