Hello there,

Can you please share your timeout settings? Sometimes during extension update, the extension might get logged out which would result in the listed settings being reverted back to default.

What is your timeout action? Described behaviour above also applies to mobile apps.

This is likely related to issue #4650
It also affects the password generator settings

I have the same issue, and I also have a Pixel device. Reading the reports I am wondering if there is anything specific on the Pixel devices that does make this happen?

I'm on a Nothing Phone 2a+, so it's not Pixel specific. But I'm on Android 15 and most of the pixel devices are too, so maybe there is an issue with that

Even setting the lock timeout to "never" didn't help for me. It still logs me out.

Any chance you could help us with this @Krychaz - it is super annoying to constantly have your app reset on random occasions - let me know if I can be of help to debug or find more information to rectify the issue.

Maybe related, but not quite the same I would guess. I am seeing the random logout behavior too, albeit not having enabled any fingerprint/face authentication. It's just not really convenient being forced to reenter a 24 char string instead of a 8 char PIN.
I have set the lock action to 1min and "lock" instead of logout.

@Krychaz is there anything new or something we could help to fix this?
