I get logged out of community.esri.com every day?

[CS_VT]

I frequently am diving into this valuable community forum to find answers or posts questions I have about one element of this useful suite of software or another.

However, I find that I have to log in everyday! For some reason, I get auto-logged out of the community.esri.com each night. 

AGOL doesn't even seem to do that! Any thoughts on why the community forum seems to value security at a higher grade than AGOL??! 

Am I alone?

When the Community authenticates with AGOL, the token it gets back has an 8 hour lifespan. After that, it needs to re-authenticate with AGOL. That said, if your AGOL account is still logged in, clicking Login over here should just bring you right back to the Community page, without needing to actually enter your username and password. You're not alone, it definitely happens to the rest of us.

Thanks, @jcarlson.

It's mostly frustrating if I'm navigating here from a searched term/phrase from Google, only to get dumped at the front page of the Community and having to log in. This seems pretty well walled off from the real GIS goods, so I wonder why the short-term tokens...
