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.

    Hi Everyone,

    This is an old post. If you are getting the issue, I'll suggest you post a new thread in our forum for us to troubleshoot the issue.

    Regards,

    Neha

    You do not get the right to proclaim that something is an old post, especially not when the issue has not been resolved for literally THIS LONG. If it's an ongoing issue up to this point that now includes me at today's date and has not been solved yet, then yes we reserve the right to use this post to air our very vivid objections to this arrangement.

    Now that all 100% of your suggestions, Neha, has failed to help us in any capacity, it is now your job to turn around and head to Microsoft to tell them to solve this issue from their end because it is very clear that none of this has been resolved *at all* from our end. After all, it is your job as a Microsoft agent to resolve this in any way possible including holding Microsoft accountable.

    Now, please fix this log in issue that all of us are having and for heavens sake, stop suggesting the same suggestions expecting different results, alright?

    This is BS. MS and its minions repeatedly prove "solutions" that make no sense. What the heck is an "Office 365 Portal"?! Why did MS screw with something that works? Excel and Word didn't use to require signing in every time they were opened, but they do now. WHY?!

    I've had it with MS and have canceled Office 365.

    You're right about that. This logging on every time I switch applications is just about the last straw. MS answers never solve a problem, but only tell the user what would have happened (theoretically) if they had only known the secret code. If not, rebuild your machine (for the third or fourth time in a week) or buy a new machine. It's unforgivable. Since the June and July updates, I don't recognize Windows as the same operating system or Office 365 apps as useful tools. Automatic autosave? OneDrive? Won't stay installed and now has somehow duplicated itself. Office apps files won't sync, anyway. Give me a break. I started on DOS in 1983 and was a pretty happy camper up through the OS tree (including Solaris on a Sparc Station for seven years), but the current level of intrusiveness exhibited in Microsoft products, major (all but) undocumented features rolled out in midnight updates on a weekly basis, stuff that clearly doesn't work (authenticator, anyone?) and assumptions of shared common expertise that only newly minted network admins could possibly posses are driving us away in droves. Nothing survives forever, not even Microsoft's lock on the market.

    Off topic? You'll say it is, but it really isn't. It's all part of the same problem. Microsoft, can you hear us?
