4. My standard advice: see if you haven't accidentally gone into "private" browsing mode

or have some extension or app that's clearing your browser cookies. That is a good idea but if so, one should make an exception for DU.

Ad blockers and tracker blockers don't seem to affect DU logins.

Private mode is real easy to punch on an iPhone by accident.

I have an app on my desktop that clears all browser(s) history, cookies and data.

But I am pretty careful and rarely lose the DU login cookie.
