Steam store login expiration change?

happens with me all the time

happens all the time since last year, client works fine

It's not a bug, it's a feature!

It's been batshit random on logging me out, the past few months, on Firefox and Chrome both.
Really, ever since they implemented phone validation of login, actually- though it seems to have gotten worse since then.

But yeah, I'll go 3 or 4 days without issue at times, other times I'll have to basically log in 4 times in a row before it "takes".
This is true in-client, as well, though it at least doesn't require re-validation, just refreshing and automatic relogging.

Of course, if it's not ever "taking" for you, then:
Firstly: :hug: :/
Second:
Are you using phone validation? Perhaps it's more consistently bad without it activated.
Have you tried another browser? Did you make sure cookie settings are properly configured, both in browser and any security programs you might be using?
Have you tried not using Valve products-
..oh, hang on, guess that doesn't work here. :X

This has been happening to me ever since the authentication thing.

I've got authenticator enabled on my phone. I'd usually go for at least several hours before my login expired, which was fine. Then suddenly it's even happening as I'm clicking through their freaking front page advertisements. :P

Maybe they don't want your money :P.

Been generally fine on my end though by saying this, I probably jinxed myself D:.

Same happen to me some moths ago, i was using Firefox. I usually log in trough comunity, but when i go to store i was not login anymore. At some point the "issue" just "banished" and i was able to move from community to store and back withou the need to login in every site.

Clear cached data on Enhanced Steam.

So I logged off the Steam client on my phone last night to make sure it wasn't force-expiring my Chrome session and did an experiment. Turns out Chrome still ditched the store login in less than a minute. However my login to Steam through the Win10 Edge browser remains active nine hours later.

Weird, I'm also using Chrome and I don't think I've ever had this problem. Only thing I can remember is sometimes when Steam is having issues and it shows I'm online on several sections of the site, and not on some but I guess it's expected when it's having issues.

I have the same problem, I had it on win7, I have it on win10 (even after a clear windows\chrome installation)

I use firefox just for the steam store...

Mine started right after the summer sale. Different computers, different browsers. Enhanced steam and not. Three different OS even. I do have phone validation turned on.

glad i'm not the only one :p
Once while i had it, deleting hola worked for quite a while but now it's again and i can't fix in any way so i'll gladly see if someone knows how to make it right

happens all the time for me, using firefox and windows 7

Same here.

im not alone.. i thought i was.. im having this issue to an extreme degree (i am lucky if i get 3mins) and have tried everything i can think of including even changing to chrome beta browser...
large list of some of the things ive done i posted publicly here.. only other cple things i can think of i tried thats not on that list was disabling all extensions as well.

Happened to me all the time, but now it stopped. For a while checking the box under the login window helped, now it seems it just works finally.

This was happening to me the other day, except on the Community side. Couldn't stay logged in ling enough to sell any items on market.

Oh, thank god, I thought it was just my problem =)
Happens all the time on Crome since the summer sale - usually after I'm closing the browser. There were a few time when I refreshed the page and got logged in again, but it usually doesn't help. I thought the reason was either Crome extensions (especially proxy extensions I'm using for Nuuvem and other sites blocked in my country), or that I'm logging in on different PCs - at home and at work, but I could not find a solution, because it keeps happening no matter what I try.

It's a feature they implemented after the previous Winter Sale, when the SSL went crazy and people could login as other random users.
