Next Cloud Android App 3.28.0 Self hosting server: 28.0.3 Should the Android app keep me logged in? On a near daily basis I have to go through the login and Grant Access process. I can jump in and out of the app for several hours, but at some point (usually the next day) I have to re-authenticate. Is this normal? I have enabled ‘App Passcode’ as Device Credentials, so it will ask for my fingerprint each time I open the app – which is what I’d expected. However, often having to do a full login is very annoying. It also stops the Auto Upload working. Am I missing something? Thanks David ---

Sam again this morning. Surely this can’t be the way it is supposed to operate?! ---

It might occur only with older android devices as I said below. Or have you found a solution so far? > [@Android 3.12.0 doesn't save my user / login](https://help.nextcloud.com/t/android-3-12-0-doesnt-save-my-user-login/85713/2): > > Hello, could you solve this? This happens to me with my older android device but not with a newer one. So it looks like with older phones, this is just how it is. I have not found another explanation either. ---

8.1.0 has the device where it won’t stay logged in. ---

Any chance you’re somehow being left in the webview after the login grant rather than returned to the full client? ---

I stay logged in until I believe I turn off the internet or shut down the device. Next boot, I must proceed with typing in my URL, password and confirm the access. I don’t get stuck in the webview.
