(Yes / No): - `No` - When did this problem seem to first start? - `November 2025` - Installation method _(e.g. AlO, NCP, Bare Metal/Archive, etc.)_ - `AIO Docker` - Are you using CloudfIare, mod\_security, or similar? _(Yes / No)_ - `No` ### Summary of the issue you are facing: Every now and then an user has to login again, instead of getting redirected to the dashboard. This isn’t consistent. Sometimes it occurs everyday for two weeks and then it stops for a month again. In the Log I see “Tried to log in but could not verify token“. Setupwise nothing changes between these times. Browser is configured to not open tabs from old session on startup. Interface is accessed by domain, every other user uses as well. Also tried with disabled adblocker, didn’t change anything. ### Steps to replicate it (hint: details matter!): 1. Inital Login with “Remember Me” checked 2. Close Browser 3. Open Browser and access Interface 4. Doesnt open dashboard but instead loginscreen ### Log entries #### Nextcloud Please provide the log entries from your Nextcloud log that are generated during the time of problem (via the _Copy raw_ option from _Administration settings-\>Logging_ screen or from your `nextcloud.log` located in your data directory). Feel free to use a pastebin/gist service if necessary. ```auto {"reqId":"5x8OZBCab2232cbpELYD","level":1,"time":"2026-03-17T09:28:20+00:00","remoteAddr":"10.0.9.9","user":"--","app":"core","method":"GET","url":"/","scriptName":"/index.php","message":"Tried to log in but could not verify token","userAgent":"Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/146.0.0.0 Safari/537.36","version":"32.0.4.1","data":{"app":"core","user":"USER"},"id":"69b925229c969"} ``` #### Web Browser If the problem is related to the Web interface, open your browser inspector _Console_ and _Network_ tabs while refreshing (reloading) and reproducing the problem.

Use the `preformatted text` formatting option in the editor for all log entries and configuration output. - If screenshots are useful, feel free to include them. - If possible, also include key error output in text form so it can be searched for. - Try to edit log output only minimally (if at all) so that it can be ran through analyzers / formatters by those trying to help you. ---
