How do I stay signed in?

I sign into Office 365 on my browser (on my Mac). I used to be able to choose to stay signed in, but something happened and now I get automatically signed out every night.

And yes, one time I chose the "Don't show this message any more" option, but I did NOT turn off the option to stay signed in.... only the message that gave me the option. Now I cannot find any way/button to "Stay Signed In" any more. How do I change this back? I'm tired of signing back in every morning.

    I am a PC user of O365, company environment, and the issue affects me for more than a year already and I would like to add my voice to the crowd. Please add the possibility to stay signed in or at least make the logging back in as easy as possible. Currently on the tab

    You've signed out of your account

    It's a good idea to close all browser windows.

    I HAVE TO close the tab, because there are no other hyperlinks. So I have to start writing URL again - office.com. Few days ago this would bring me straight to the mail, now it only brings me to the portal, which means more clicks to get to he mail. Then it lets me click on the account I want to use and then again to click "log in". Soemetimes the box is red and it needs two more clicks. What is worse, it replaces ALL THE tabs with mail, calendar, excel, word, whatever with the same tab containing the "It's a good idea to close all browser windows." message multiple times a day.

    I am getting to hate this whole product series more and more just because of this logging cycle all the time. It is sad, because one should be enjoying using the software that he is forced to use every day.

    I am having the same issue in Safari and Chrome on Mac OS Mojave 10.14.4 and also each morning when I open my MacBook for the first time for the day, the OneDrive app for Mac opens and Macs me sign in.  Is that normal or is that another sign-in issue?  It's pretty frustrating.

    I'm literally having this same problem at home, and a user at work is having this.

    We're both experiencing it in Chrome.

    When I went to reply to this post after JUST signing in, it asked me to sign in AGAIN....

    I am now up and running on O365 using Sharepoint a lot.  But I must use Chrome due to another app that links to Sharepoint that does not work correctly in Edge.  Also Chrome let's me have my favorites synced across machines while Edge does not if you are part of a domain (Called MS support and got that answer).

    So... This having to repeatedly sign-in to O365 in Chrome is so crazy.  I am surprised nothing has shown up on this post since Jan 19!
