Login issue and double posting?

This has happened several times recently. I log in, read some posts, and reply to one of them. But it then says "you have to login first." So I log in again, and then my post is there twice.
 
The one from Galicia (the round) and the one from Castilla & Leon. Individually numbered and made by the same people that make the ones you see on your walk.

I also have problems accessing the forum. when I try and sign in I always have to get a code sent. This doesn’t always work and I have to try several times. When it does, I check to remember the device for 30 days, but this doesn’t work. I have to try with a code every time. Does anyone else have this problem? Thanks.
 
...and ship it to Santiago for storage. You pick it up once in Santiago. Service offered by Casa Ivar (we use DHL for transportation).
I always have to get a code sent.
I have never had to use a code to sign in. This sounds like 2-factor authentication and likely to be connected to the sign-in setup on your phone, rather than the Forum. However, I'll need to leave further explanation to others with more knowledge!

Two step verification (where you need to enter a code) is an option on the forum but you can disable it. Go to 'Passwords and Security' under your Account, and the two- factor option is at the top - you can disable it there.

Thank you so much. I think I just disabled it. This will make accessing and using the forum a lot easier for me!
 
The 2024 Camino guides will be coming out little by little. Here is a collection of the ones that are out so far.

And possibly @WGroleau I suspect that your issues are related to your Cookie settings.

These days when we first access a European and many other websites we get asked to Accept Cookie settings or we can choose to have difference classes of Cookies accepted or rejected. There is often a Cookie class called "Functional" Cookies. If you turned this off when you first accessed the Forum then that may well be related to your sign-on issues.

@wanda others have already mentioned that if you dont want two-factor authentication then you can turn if off. I prefer to keep it turned on. That your situation is not remembering to keep you authenticated is, as I said probably related to your Cookies because that is how the Forum software remembers you. The other alternative, also Cookie related, is that you have a setting in your browser that is automatically clearing your cookies when you sign off from the forum.

Thanks for the info. I will also check cookie settings (or try) part of the problem is I am technically challenged! So far, turning off 2-factor authentication has definitely helped.
