I have had the same issue and as far as I know no security changes have been made on my computer.

It has been bouncing my logins around a bit, mainly when I'm browsing from the phone.
I might do a clear down of the cache and sessions files in case there is anything disconnected in there. Will be later tonight if I do.

Happens every few days with me, I'm on chrome.

Any annoyance fades when my login works and I'm not banned :oops:

Done a reset of the cookie settings which should cause everybody to login again which will then save a new cookie that stores the login details that point at the current forum URL.
That should fix it for anybody who has been having to put in a password every time they visit.

If you are using a PC or laptop to view the forum then if you look at the address bar at the top of the screen. You should see a lock icon next to the https:

Click on that lock icon and it will open up a smaller window where you should see an option like More Information. Click on that and it will open another window. That window lists info about you and the site, including an option to click on a View Cookies button.

Click on that and it will open another window which lists all the cookies that you have for the site. Click on Remove All which will remove all the cookies for talkforum off your computer. Next time you login remember to click the Remember Me option and it will store new cookies for you with the correct site and password information.

Still happening to me on my windows phone, in fact today I came back to the site from yesterday, and the page was all logged in when I went back to the main screen I had to log in again.
