And buggy. Element/Matrix is the worst chat app I have to use on a semi-regular basis. I have to click away three modal popups during every single login, and it doesn't remember logins so I have to login every time I visit the page. It also asks me to verify my login/device on every login because it doesn't remember. This happens on two devices, with two different browsers.

Is that on a self hosted, or on app.element.io? I have a self hosted, and I just opened it and it logged me straight in - I can't remember the last time I logged in as I use the desktop client. I just tried app.element.io and it asks if I want to "store data in persistent storage" - maybe you clicked no a while back, and it is still blocked?

Sounds like you log in from a web browser, but clear local storage (or cookies) at the end of your browsing session? I log in rarely enough that this doesn't accommodate me: my most recent browser login must have been two years ago or so.

  Any other website with login manages to remember my login. Not sure what causes it, but it's not fun.

    What are the modals you have to dismiss? That doesn't sound familiar to me at all. Could have something to do with it?

      Ok, it's actually 4 popups, 2 of which are modal: - "Verify login" (now always skipping this one because I need to do it every single time I login, and I need to login every time I visit the page) - "Are you sure?" (Yes, I really don't like this one because I'm only skipping because verifying doesn't help) - "Verify session" (okay, not modal, still occludes parts of the page. Also skipping, because it's useless since I have to repeat it every time) - "Help us improve element by sending user data" (No, I don't want to send user data) Needless to say, I don't enjoy starting up Element.

        Hmm, interesting, those don't really sound to me like the cause. Is there anything in the site settings or anything, maybe it's disallowed from local storage? For what little it's worth, I haven't run into the need to login on every visit on either FF or Chrome. Which is just to confirm that it's not supposed to work that way.

        Somehow you're clearing all the data Element uses. Those popups only show up on initial login to a new browser session. If you're clearing cookies or local data that would be why.

        I'm not doing anything. Same thing happens on Firefox on one PC, and chrome on another. But only for Element, all other web pages have no issue with persistent logins.
