Wow, I am very sorry gang. I should have checked another browser before posting this
I’m on iOS and use DuckDuckGo as my browser application. I didn’t realize it clears cookies daily.
I tested on Safari and my cookies are persisted as expected, meaning I don’t need to login again each day.
Turns out DDG has a way to fireproof a page so cookies stay. Turned that on and it fixed it for me. Thanks for all the help and apologies for the noise
