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.

    Hello Comunity.

    I have found the solution for this annoying issue (If you are using Google Chrome as your main browser)

    Navigate your way into chrome settings.

    Settings > Click on "Privacy and Security" > Click on "Site Settings" > Scroll your way down to "Cookies and Site Data" > and make sure that "Clear Cookies and Site data when you quit Chrome" is turned off.

    I hope this can help.

    Cheers

    The issue was not staying signed in.  The issue is CONSTANTLY being asked if I want to stay signed in, it doesn't matter if I click the "Don't show this again" because it shows it every time even though I always click on don't show this again.  It also doesn't matter whether I click yes or no for staying signed in.  Now signing in is THREE STEPS INSTEAD OF JUST TWO IF YOU DON'T WANT TO (OR IF YOU DO) WANT TO STAY SIGNED IN.

    ALL I WANT IS FOR MICROSOFT TO STOP SHOWING THE 'DON'T SHOW THIS AGAIN' OPTION.  Whats the point if you aren't listening?

    I understand your frustration.

    But since i made these changes in my Chrome browser this has stop in asking those annoying question..

    Navigate your way into chrome settings.

    Settings > Click on "Privacy and Security" > Click on "Site Settings" > Scroll your way down to "Cookies and Site Data" > and make sure that "Clear Cookies and Site data when you quit Chrome" is turned off.

    I hope this can help.

    I have gone all through my chrome settings, even typing in "Privacy and Security", yet there is not location for that service.  I have tried every thing and cannot find the privacy and security anywhere.  Thanks anyway.  I'll just do the prompts or switch to gmail.

    I am having the same problem with word. I got this problem fixed several months ago. I started having the same problem about a month ago. Automatic up dates must be changing the settings. I think it has to do with cookies settings. I forgot how I fixed it.
