ChatGPT seems signed out every time I visit – a fix

Here’s a short hint that helped me resolve an annoying issue of ChatGPT signing me out very often. It’s a service I have bookmarked and I use frequently, yet it seemed to be more stubborn than most apps and I was signed out every day I opened it 😉 And especially if you use two-factor authentication, it takes time to sign in every time.

For clarity, I am talking about the web version available at: https://chat.openai.com/chat (I haven’t had this problem on Android so far).

How to make the login session last longer?

I observed that the website login session doesn’t play nice with the cookie restrictions often imposed by browsers. Loosening the restrictions resolves the problem.

I am unsure which of the settings listed below was overprotective, but disabling them all for chatgpt.com resolved the problem on my machine. I haven’t been signed out for days now 🙂

I recommend disabling tracking prevention on this site
I recommend disabling the block of 3rd party cookies on this side
I also did the same on a login screen
Also, it’s worth making sure you don’t clear cookies on the browser exit. If you do, that ChatGPT domain is on the exception list.

I hope this resolves the issue for you too. Enjoy more productivity without hurdles! 🙂
