**Why am I being logged out on browser close?**
:::

:::Paragraph{indent="1"}
Closing the browser ends the session in Make, regardless of the configured session timeout value. This is treated as the end of the browsing session, and the user is logged out.

To avoid this, change your browser's startup setting to continue where you left off. For Google Chrome:
:::

Click the three dots and navigate to the **Settings** of your browser.
:::

:::Paragraph{listStyleType="decimal" listStart="2" indent="2"}
Form the left sidebar, click **On start up**.
:::

:::Paragraph{listStyleType="decimal" listStart="3" indent="2"}
Click **Continue where you left off**.
:::
