Why do I have to confirm my identity repeatedly for websites I've already confirmed.

After every time I close the internet, upon re-opening it I have to receive a one time pass code from a website or enter my email ID and password (even though I previously clicked Keep Me Signed In for 2 Weeks) or answer security questions then confirm for the 15th time that this is my private computer. I've checked the privacy settings every time and they are correct. I never had this problem with Internet Explorer. The problem began 2 weeks ago when I switched to Firefox.

Such details are stored in a cookie.

  • Create a cookie 'allow' exception to keep such cookies, especially in case of secure websites and when cookies expire when Firefox is closed.
  • Tools > Options > Privacy > "Use custom settings for history" > Cookies: Exceptions

In case you are using "Clear history when Firefox closes":

  • do not clear the Cookies
  • do not clear the Site Preferences

Note that clearing "Site Preferences" clears all exceptions for cookies, images, pop-up windows, software installation, passwords, and other website specific data.

Clearing cookies will remove all specified (selected) cookies including cookies with an allow exception that you would like to keep.

Thanks, but I tried that and it didn't work.
