Just a heads-up to everyone. Today my account got logged out by itself. When I tried to log back in, it told me I was already logged in. IIRC this was one of the signs that the site could be compromised. Did anyone else experience this?

Can you log back in with an incorrect password? I think that was the definitive tell

The whole internet is compromised, act accordingly. They even know who you are on anonymous boards.

It was if you had to login. Try a bad password first to make sure it doesn’t work.

My account has been doing what you describe since the ssi authorization update months ago. Sometimes I’m logged out. Sometimes I’m logged in. I can be logged out here and go to all communities and be logged in and come back here and still be logged out.

hmmm, no it was more like. I tried to login, but it redirected me to some weird interim page, which informed me I was already logged in, which redirected me back to the main site, which showed that I wasn't logged in yet... Anyhow am logge in now, so there's that.

Yeah you go to login or upvote and it brings you to a page that says you’re already logged in click refresh. Clicking refresh does nothing. You go back and you’re still legged out. I found only way around this was to clear history and start over. Even then I get too many redirects. And have to refresh 2x to get to main page. It’s easier to let it go hit and miss whe I open the tab.
