Steam keeps logging me out

[Mystic-unicorn1]

Short introduction:

I'm not a new use of steam i've been using it for several years and i've never had problems with steam.

Recently tho steam has decided to log me out of my account after i shut my pc down for the night. In 2 years steam has only done that a few times after certain updates but now it does it every day. I check the box remember me every time but it keeps logging me out the next day.

Does anyone know how to end this madness?

Please don't mock me im using mac (Version: macOS Sierra 10.12.5) but i don't think this is a mac specific problem.

I would assume that a VPN could be the reason for this so if you have one this will probably the reason for it - if you log into Steam with a different IP every time, it only makes sense that this login will be regarded as completely different each time.

I'm currently facing this issue. Any solutions to stop Steam from auto logging out?
- I've already disconnected my VPN.
- Restarted my computer several times.
- Yet issue still persists.

Connecting/disconnecting the VPN while Steam is on is the problem.

I had this issue because of my VPN auto-connecting when brought up my computer. It's a good thing to happen to prevent an attacker from easily getting into your account, but annoying in this particular situation.

My particular VPN provider has an option to install a split-tunnel so I can specify Application A always uses the VPN while Application B never uses it. I still ran into problems (probably because the connection wasn't finalized before Steam started running), so I've turned off the auto-start for Steam and put a batch file that calls Steam from my startup folder (for Win10: "C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup") after a 20-second timer. (Not sure what the Mac equivalent would be.)

So far, so good, though if it keeps happening, I'll probably just have to prevent my VPN from running automatically, as this is becoming quite a hassle. Steam basically needs to connect to your normal IP without delay or impediment to avoid this as far as I can tell.

Seems to be us macbook users who are dealing with this..

[jp182]

nope a windows user and it started doing it to me this week

Same here. Windows 10. Never had this problem. Steam logs me out when computer goes into sleep mode for the evening. I don't know what's worse,having to log in again or having to wait for the steam update every single time I wake my system up.

Thank you so much. I just didn't realize prob is very simple. My pc used to transmit torrent, and when i restart pc, it automatically turns on VPN and change connection. So on just disable VPN and prob is resolved

Same here. Just started doing it this week. I have been using steam for so many years and this has NEVER happened until now. So annoying :(

I have Steam Guard enabled, "Don't save account credentials" is disabled, no VPN. I have this problem. Hoping someone can find some solution so that I don't have to use my phone to log in every day, because a lot of the time, I don't keep it charged, and it has terrible battery life.

my issue is that steam auto logs out when i have to sign out, which the only option i have when Fallout new vegas freezes and i cant tab out to use task manager or command prompts, any ideas?

First uncheck the "Don't save account credentials" in the options. Second, are you actively closing Steam when shutting down?

Where is that Option box?

I'm having the same problem, I'm on an Ideapad Gaming Laptop, and at the moment got Windows 10.

Is it really the problem with the VPN, whilst I'm bad with remembering things, I sort of remember that I had a VPN before and I didn't have this problem. That I didn't have to actively close Steam down before shutting down.

Was wondering this myself, and found that it's under settings now and once you open it, it'll be one of the first things that you see.

Upon finding it, I found that I have "Don't save account credentials" already unchecked, so don't see the problem of it not staying logged in, unless it is the VPN

It's the VPN. It requiress you to relog into Steam. Not using it should solve the issue.
