When will the site implement a 'stay logged in' protocol? I asked this on another thread but I can't seem to find it (so I don't know if MY question was addressed)?
Can't find a movie or TV show? Login to create it.
Want to rate or add this item to a list?
Not a member?

It has been discussed in other threads, and that option is being worked on. Not sure when it will appear, though.

Thanks for the reply. I just do not understand why 'they' can't just do it?

They have an awful lot on their plate--stuff that's a lot more important, even though I'm looking forward to that feature.

Any update on this? This basically prevents me from using the website as each time I want to rate a movie I have to re-login and then search again which is quite cumbersome…

I believe the system currently keeps you logged in for maybe 10-14 days, but not sure exactly. So I don't think you should have to log in each time you visit the site if you set your browser to accept cookies/tokens.

I watch movie every now and then (let's say once a week) and each time I navigate to IMDb I'm logged in and each time on TMDb I have to log in... I don't clean cookies…

I never have to log back in to TMDb, since I never get logged out (except times I periodically manually clear browsing data).

Well gen you must be special. Because every 2 weeks TMDB logs me out & I have to log back in. I have even been in the middle of posting & it logged me out. I just think it's ridiculous that they just can't 'make it so'?

I possibly clear my browsing data and cookies less than every couple weeks, so perhaps never experience getting logged out of TMDb for that reason. (After any time I clear browsing data and cookies, I need to sign back in.) I do clear things (plus change passwords) quite frequently, since my computer got an intrusion in mid 2016, at which time my credit card # was stolen.

You are undoubtedly clearing your data/cookies about every two weeks or slightly more often. That's why you think you are never automatically logged out. If you were to wait more than two weeks between logins/cleanings, I think you'd see that the system has automatically logged you out. There are no exceptions. You currently apparently just don't wait long enough between logins/cleanings to see that happen.

I'm sure you're right, PT.
