FamilySearch

[AllanUK]

Every time I use FamilySearch I have to log in -- in the past, there used to be an option to remain signed in for two weeks but that option seems to have disappeared. Am I missing something obvious?

[Neale1961]

Yes, i have the same problem. It has been like that for a few weeks now. Another wonderful improvement!

[AllanUK]

Another useful tool lost to users  Why introduce changes that are a backward step.

Me too . Really irritating !

I faithfully check the box to stay logged in for two weeks but I'm lucky if I can last 12 hours without having to repeat the process.  It's been like that for years.  I wrote to FamilySearch and asked for an explanation but got no reply.

I'm with Erato on this!
It's always been that way.

It's always been that way.

There is now no box to tick to stay logged in as there used to be. If there is, please tell me where to find it.

This is the sign in page I now get https://ident.familysearch.org/identity/login/?state=https://www.familysearch.org/search/catalog

No, there is no longer any box to tick.
We do have cute little jelly-bean trees now.

Some of the big family tree websites introduced stricter login requirements after the recent 23&Me hacking scandal. Ancestry (and FindMyPast I believe) brought in two-factor authentification, and FamilySearch removed the "keep me logged in" feature.

I think because FamilySearch has a lot of users who mainly access the website through libraries and family history centres, they decided not to make it possible for users to accidentally leave themselves logged in.
