I use about 6 websites regularly in the course of a week. Ancestry, Genes Reunited, Find My Past, the Alzheimers website and a few others. I logged into them years ago, and have rarely been logged out. Suddenly (last week) they all require me to log in on each occasion, i.e. daily. Why? They all remember my password. But I have to remember my log-in name (all different!), and it is a bind. |

Have you used a clean-up program recently, anti-spyware or anti-virus for example, and inadvertently cleared out your cookies? |

That happened to me when I used CCleaner- Ancestry/GR/Findmypast etc- but I only had to do the re log in once,it was ok after that |

If you use CCleaner, there is a facility to preserve your favourite cookies so this doesn't happen. |

I had not run any sort of maintenance on my computer when the gremlin struck. However, a few days later I deleted temporary internet files, but chose the option to retain cookies. |

My Virus software is Kaspersky, if that helps. |
