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.

    And that is probably what everyone who's complaining here should try. Worked for me! Thanks! I did have to look that up though, so to prevent others from having to find the instructions needed: https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/95647 Good luck everyone! And be kind ;-)

    This also happens in SharePoint and Internet Explorer.  It is a Microsoft issue and Microsoft

    is not offering any solutions.  Private or Business.

    This option of signing in only happens here at this link, NOT when moving within SharePoint.  The option does not exist there.

    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.
