Login Issues (mainly the mod portal)

Post by BraveCaperCat »

When logging into the mod portal through steam, it brings me back to the main website. And when doing this on a mobile device with the steam mobile app installed, it tries to open the steam app to login - which doesn't work at all. That last part seems more like a steam issue than a Factorio issue, but I mentioned it anyway, since it was related. Also, the mod portal and main website are signing out so much more than the forums - I had to go offline on the forums for months before it automatically signed me out, but for the mod portal and main website (on a per-device basis) it only takes a few hours to automatically sign out. Note that I only login to the mod portal and main website through steam.

I'll probably be wanting or giving help with modding most of the time I spend here on the forum.

If you login using a password you can use the "Remember me" checkbox, otherwise your login cookie gets thrown away when your browser deletes session cookies. I can look into making the checkbox work with the steam login as well.

Yes, thank you.

I updated the login process to always set the "remember me" cookie for steam logins.
