I am sick and tired of this, but Scratch constantly logs me out for no reason at all. It's not even funny. Recently, it has gotten so bad that I often can't even go from page to page without being logged out.

My internet connection is strong. I mever use Scratch on mobile data. I never have Scratch logged in on more than one device at a time. What is happening, and can I fix it?

This is a common issue. Even I am affected by this glitch. Just hold tight while the ST works on it.

It's getting worse. Sometimes I can't even get past the title page.

yeah, that's been happening to me too, but i think that the ST mostly fixed id

There is a workaround



If you change your password, Scratch will not log you out again.


HOWEVER!!!!



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

Huh, it's still pretty frequent (2-3 page changes) to me.

I replicated the logout on 2 other accounts, it happens when you click/get the privacy policy update banner thing.

its definitely happening to me too

that meant scratch will be down for maintenance i thin….k?

That's been happening to me too as well, it's gotten really annoying. ;-;

I had this for like the last month or 2, but I haven't gotten logged out this week, so I hope it's stopped (at least for me).
I think the reason is because I haven't logged into my account on my other device in a while, but it could just be random.

It’s now occurring for me and it’s every time I change pages..

This has been happening to me more often recently. I think the problem stems from logging into the same account on multiple devices in quick succession, since I slack off and browse Scratch at school a lot and switch Chromebooks between every period since my own laptop's busted.

I also think that having multiple Scratch windows open at the same time could be causing issues as well, since I notice the bug happening a lot more frequently when I've got more than one tab open. Strangely enough, I have never caught this problem happening on my computer. It's probably not a ChromeOS thing since I feel like I've caught it happening on the desktops at my school, which all run Windows 11 like mine.

This does also cause it for me.

I thought this, but I got it once when I did this:
1. I logged into an account I hadn't used in a while, and it was not signed into anything. I was on the homepage.
2. I clicked the messages page.
3. I refreshed the page, and I was logged out.
I've also tried multiple browsers and many OSes and different OS versions. This has been happening for years now

and mac os too My browser / operating system: MacOS Macintosh X 10.15.7, Chrome 139.0.0.0, No Flash version detected

My browser / operating system: ChromeOS 14541.0.0, Chrome 139.0.0.0, No Flash version detected

Happening to me now, I know for sure its not my scratchattach script signing me out at 10 CDT cause it runs at 21 CDT

Also an extremely common annoyance on my end. Sometimes switching to incognito has worked for me, key word “sometimes”.

I think it specifically only happens to me when i post on the forums >__<
“Sorry, you have to wait 60 seconds between posts.”

It happens to me. Now I understand what's annoying
