Ferdi: Protonmail logs me out periodically and whenever reloading service

Created on 14 Aug 2020  路  4Comments  路  Source: getferdi/ferdi

Every instance of protonmail (custom url or using the built in service) logs me out periodically or when I reload the service.
Also boots me out when I use the refresh button on the browser

[Status] Stale bug

As far as I can tell, this is a problem with ProtonMail and not Ferdi. You can see the same behaviour in your normal browser: Reloading ProtonMail will automatically log you off.
This is probably due to the way of how ProtonMail manages encryption on its service, only storing the encryption key locally while you have ProtonMail open.

Logging you out periodically might be due to Ferdi's hibernation feature, where the service will get unloaded when you don't use it.

I have the same issue - i thought it was a behavior mandated by proton - but, now i suspect it might be something on ferdi's side
