Getting automatically logged out of SG.

Closed
Carmah

So today, something odd happened.

I started up my work pc and clicked on my SG bookmark and I was already logged in as usual nd everything was normal. The next time I came to the site to look up new giveways, I was now logged out and it wanted me to log back in again. That has never happened. So I checked my smartphone and I was now logged out of SG there as well which has never happened.

I came home and my home pc which has always been logged into SG was also logged out. I'm currently logged into Steam on my home pc and everything there is normal. But I would I be logged out of it on 3 different devices/pc's all at once when that has never happened before and my credentials have always been cached?

I don't see any similar posts on the forums in case it was a website issue and this happened to others today but seems like it didn't and I was the only one.
Thanks for any feedback.

We were tweaking the database and servers earlier today, and all users were logged out at one point.

He's cloned himself. Or built more of himself. Depends which of his origin stories you believe.

This evening there was a short maintenance, that logged out all users. After that - at least for me - everything was fine.

Happened to me as well today. I assumed it was because I was signing in on different comps.
Was logged in on my desktop, went to school loaded up sg on my laptop. Was signed out so I signed back in. Come home and I'm logged out at home now. Haven't checked if my laptop got logged out again.

EDIT: Thanks for the answer cg.

Thanks for the quick answer. Didn't think any hacking was going on but it certainly was odd.

Happens all the time to me, must be when like cg said they are editing the database.

Happens to me around once a week. I figure it's a security measure with the site's cookie(s). Could also be because of Steam, since you technically log into this website by logging into Steam.
