Session keeps expiring

Every day, I use WaniKani both on my phone and on my pc. Both of my sessions were always active, I rarely had to log in again. Since a few days, I need to log in every day because my session expires. Has something changed? Is there anything I can do to stay logged in for 2 weeks as before?

I had this problem as well twice before, the first time I was just forgetting to press the ā€˜keep me logged in button’, which might be your problem( assuming that the picture is from right before you log in).

The second time while I never actually figured out what went wrong exactly, it did fix itself when I switched browsers from chrome to firefox, so perhaps your browser is the problem?

Yeah, I did press the ā€œkeep me logged inā€ button (well, I may have forgotten it once, but I have had this problem for about 4 days now on both devices, and I’m sure I do press the checkbox more often than not haha)

I do use Chrome on my pc, but I use Opera on my phone… But I’ll try another browser, see if that fixes the problem!

Same experience. I use wanikani on two devices, and despite ā€œkeep me loggedā€ checked I get logged out since yesterday every day.

Came here to see if it was just me or if anyone else was having the issue. I’m definitely checking the remember me box, and it’s happening for me on desktop Firefox as well as my mobile too. You’re not alone!

Same here, super annoying and would really love this to be solved.

Also having this issue for the last week or so

Same here, it’s been very frustrating

Same here, I’m using WaniKani on Zen Browser on 2 laptops and on Firefox Mobile (essentially 3 Firefox sessions).

We’re looking into this but haven’t been able to reproduce it consistently.
If you haven’t already emailed us your browser version and device info, please do, thanks.

This has started happening for me, as well. It was fine like a week ago but now almost every time I click the tab I have to log back in

EDIT: Brave Browser 1.91.175

I’ve been alternating between two computers with latest firefox 151.0.4 with lastpass and adblock plus addons installed (I think just those 2 addons). Been a few days of more regular login prompts, definitely less than a week. Feels like once daily to me.

Possibly due to not logging in frequently in the past, but I’ve noticed the first time I click on reviews after logging in, lastpass thinks it should fill the input with my login email address.

Thanks @stolivodka and @arcanumghost , can you also provide your device info? If you’re not comfortable posting it you can email hello@wanikani.com.

This has started happening to me recently, too. I mainly use the app at home and at the office, and I am always being asked to log on whenever I switch. I’ve started thinking of it as being a one-device limitation, which I hope isn’t true.

Can you send your browser and device info?

Not opposed, but what would a useful device info answer look like? They’re both windows 10 computers, a laptop and desktop.

I have the same problem, on Debian, using firefox 152.0.1-1 from the repositories.

Could the problem be that the cookie is set without any ā€œExpires=ā€ or ā€œMax-Age=ā€ field, which sets it as a session cookie?

I am also using wanikani in three different devices.

Same problem here, on two very different Win11 machines, one running Firefox 152, the other MS Edge. On both, log-in would basically never really expire before, but since about a week or so I have to log in every day without fail, despite checking the box every time.
