I always get logged out.
At home, I usually have a tab always open at this site.
In the past few weeks/months, I noticed that if left alone after say, 20 minutes or so, I get automatically logged out.
I don't think it is my browser settings since this don't happen to other sites (YouTube, Reddit, etc.)
Is there a setting where I can change this?
Thanks.

The only other addition is you show to have a Google-based login. If you're still using that (Google login) then those are sessions and they controlled by Google.
Logging in using a username and password, which most do who don't use Google or Facebook, will eliminate that issue.

Yes I did.
In my experience, this forum works similar to my Etrade, bank, etc (which is fine btw)where I would get logged out after moments of inactivity with the exception of a Google/FB log in.

The only reason you'd be logged out before 365 days is explained in the Sticky, which all are user-side.

I tried resetting my password by first using the "Forgot My Password". I get sent a new password but it would say that is wrong until I reached my limit.
It does allow me to log in again with Google but now, I have no idea what my CF password is.

Copy and paste the password plus make sure you're using the username to log in. It has to be 100% correct, since it's an account/password.
