Curiously and annoyingly icloud.com demands two-factor authentication every time when my Firefox is restarted, or even without restart, if long enough time has elapsed. Why is that and is there some way to let Firefox be continuously trusted by that website too?

I'm on Windows and Chrome and Edge do not have this problem. Interestingly Firefox on Mac does not seem to have it either. Could this be caused by our corporate security settings somehow?

Detail like websites remembering you and log you in automatically is stored in a cookie.

You can use these steps to make a website recognize and remember you:

  • create a cookie allow exception with the proper protocol (https:// or http://) to make a website remember you

You can check that you aren't clearing important cookies.

  • using "Delete cookies and site data when Firefox is closed" keeps cookies with an allow exception
  • using "Clear history when Firefox closes" to clear cookies clears all cookies including cookies with an allow exception you may want to keep
  • clearing "Site Preferences" clears exceptions for cookies, images, pop-up windows, and software installation and exceptions for passwords and other website specific data
  • Options/Preferences -> Privacy & Security
