it might be that somebody hacked ur account which is why you cant go on it, probably a bot that relogs instantly the moment you try and get in

I do not think so, as I really feel like the hacker would be doing worse stuff if that were the case. Also, I have got logged out even after password changes and it does not always log me out the second that I log in. Also multiple people have experienced this and it always goes away at some point

Me too- although when using the discuss forums specifically, somehow? I don't have much of a choice, hence bumping this to appear more recent would be the best.

Oh well look what i found

https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/topic/801164/

One of them is a dupe to this one, the other one might be related to this topic, and maybe we could merge ?

I have noticed that I've stopped getting booted out after I changed my password recently! Maybe this is The Ghost Of Passwords Cracked trying to forcefully promote good password security..?

If you log onto your account on a different device, the bug will come back.

However, I haven't noticed this happening. I'm still logging in on all these different computers and nothing's happening.

I tried changing my password, and I still got logged out.

Happening to me too, but it seems to be ever 3-5 pages and only on the forums nowhere else…

I wonder if clearing your browser cookies would do anything. This bug is clearly connected to multiple sessions, so I wonder if this is happening because Scratch isn't clearing the old sessions on its servers since your outdated cookies are still on your browser (or something like that, I'm not exactly a computer scientist) and when the browser cookies expire, it logs you out since Scratch thinks “oh hey, medians's cookie expired, let's log him out.”

I mean I don't know, as I tried signing in with an account I hadn't used in a while, and it still was happening. I also tried setting everything up again on an account on a new browser profile too (with extensions and stuff). However, I've also had it without extensions on (before the purple update)

was only happening on the forums for me, now its happening practically every time i go to a new page. (almost impossible to post now) and now its not just happening on the forums anymore

It's doing that to me too, it says I didn't follow the community guidelines and then when I go back on my laptop it lets me on
