Staying Logged In: Managing “Remember Me” and Session Duration
On markto.ch, staying logged in makes it convenient to quickly check messages, manage your ads, or browse without entering your credentials every time. The platform offers a “Remember Me” option during login, which controls how long your session stays active. Here’s everything you need to know about how it works and how to manage it.
What “Remember Me” Does
When you check the “Remember Me” (or “Angemeldet bleiben” / “Stay signed in”) box on the login page:
- markto.ch creates a longer-lasting session cookie on your device.
- You stay logged in automatically for weeks or even months (typically 30–90 days, depending on platform settings).
- This applies only to the specific browser and device you used.
If you do not check “Remember Me”:
- Your session is temporary (usually 30–60 minutes of inactivity, or until you close the browser).
- You’ll need to log in again the next time you visit or after the session expires.
How to Enable or Disable “Remember Me”
- Go to the login page (top-right → Log In).
- Enter your email and password as usual.
- Look for the checkbox labeled:
- “Remember Me”
- “Stay signed in”
- “Angemeldet bleiben”
- or similar wording below the password field.
- Check it if you want to stay logged in long-term on that device/browser.
- Leave it unchecked if you’re on a shared/public computer or want extra security.
- Click Log In.
Managing Your Active Sessions (If Available)
markto.ch may let you view and control active logins from your account settings:
- Log in to your account.
- Click your profile icon or name (top-right) → select Settings, Account, Security, or Sessions.
- Look for a section called:
- “Active Sessions”
- “Where you’re logged in”
- “Geräte und Sitzungen”
- You might see a list of devices/browsers currently logged in, with options to:
- Log out from a specific device
- Log out from all other devices
- Revoke all sessions (forces re-login everywhere)
If this feature exists, use it regularly — especially after using a public computer or if you suspect unauthorized access.
Session Duration and Automatic Logout
- With “Remember Me” checked: Session can last 30–90 days (or until you manually log out, clear cookies, or the cookie expires).
- Without “Remember Me”: Logout after 30–60 minutes of inactivity (browser-dependent).
- markto.ch may force logout earlier if:
- You log in from a new device/location
- Suspicious activity is detected
- You change your password
- Browser cookies are cleared
Security Recommendations
- Use “Remember Me” only on your personal, trusted devices (home computer, personal phone).
- Never use it on public/shared computers (libraries, cafes, work PCs) — anyone could access your account.
- Log out manually when finished on shared devices: Profile icon → Log Out.
- Enable two-factor authentication (2FA) if markto.ch offers it in your security settings (adds protection even if someone gets your password).
- Clear browser data periodically if you want to force a fresh login.
- Monitor active sessions regularly if the feature is available.
Troubleshooting Related Issues
- Keeps logging me out too quickly? → Make sure “Remember Me” is checked and your browser allows cookies (check privacy settings).
- “Remember Me” not working? → Clear cookies/cache for markto.ch, disable ad blockers/privacy extensions temporarily, or try a different browser.
- Accidentally stayed logged in on a public device? → Log in from your own device → go to sessions/security → log out all other devices.
- Still having session problems? → Contact support via the “Contact” link at the bottom of the site.
By using “Remember Me” wisely, you get the convenience of quick access while keeping your markto.ch account secure. Adjust these settings based on whether you’re on your personal device or a shared one. Happy and safe trading on markto.ch!
