Email Accounts Requiring Sign-In
I have three email accounts thru (comcast, gmail and outlook). I have each of these email accounts bookmarked on my Firefox page. It used to be all I had to do was click on the bookmarked tab and the email account opened immediately. But, lately, each of these three accounts requires a sign-in before it will open my email account. One even requires a two-step process requiring I list a different email to receive a code to open the current email account I'm trying to open. This is a recent occurence and I wondered if it was something Firefox included in their more recent version of Firefox? If so, please tell me how to get rid of this sign-in process! I have many security processes to protect my accounts and do not need this additional required sign-in process! Please tell me how I can get rid of this requirement. It is a pain to have to re-sign-in each time I try to access my email which I do several times a day. Thank you for any help you can give me to fix this problem. Barbara Thomas

Hello,
Generally, Firefox has nothing to do with websites' sign ins and security requirements. If there is a kind of "Remember me" or "Stay signed in" check mark during the process, make sure to check it.
However, there are some Firefox Settings that may influence websites' ability to keep you signed in:
- Head to about:preferences#privacy and scroll down to the Cookies and Site Data section.
- Make sure to uncheck "Delete cookies and site data when Firefox is closed".
- Click "Manage Exceptions..." and make sure your email providers are allowed to always use cookies and site data.
Does it help?
