I have been having a lot of problems recently with websites suddenly not recognising my log-ins. It’s happening again and again on different sites, and it’s really annoying. I know it’s not my input error, so I can’t think what the problem is.
Is anyone else having similar problems, or do you have an idea why this might be happening?
