Login not persistent

karthick-kk opened this issue · 8 comments

Login is not persistent across reboot. I have to re-login every time open the app.

electron.js is using local storage to save the user data for the embedded chromium. It should work unless you have issues to store data in your local.

Freelook is using the default location, if you are on linux check if the following folder exists

~/.config/Freelook

The following article explains how the electron app store user data

I can see the files are getting created and updated.

@karthick-kk had the same or similar issue, login would not persist. What resolved it was changing default "home" in settings to "outlook.office.com", since I have a Outlook365 (work) account.

It's been working fine since. Hope this helps.

Same issue for me.

are you using outlook.office.com or outlook.live.com?

check if sect2k's suggestion fix for you

Is there a setting to change to get this in ~/.config/Freelook/Settings or ~/.config/Freelook/Preferences ?
I still have "homepageUrl":"https://outlook.live.com/mail" in ~/.config/Freelook/Settings with using regular outlook.com

Can confirm this worked for me (with a work account).

sudo nano ~/.config/Freelook/Settings
