Update: All the issues randomly stopped occurring as of March 19th. I believe it was due to this flappy bird extension on my Chromebook, which chrome randomly blocked today for apparently being unsafe. I uninstalled it, lost wifi so I couldn't check, and just now I went to the main Scratch website and it was fixed! I will still keep this up just in case anyone experiences similar issues.
My browser / operating system: ChromeOS 14541.0.0, Chrome 120.0.0.0, No Flash version detected
March 5th, 2024: I have updated this to be MUCH easier to read.
The Issue
This started happening on the 23rd of February. I went to the main Scratch website and signed in as usual. After checking out a project and returning to the main page, I was signed out again. Confused, I signed back in and checked my messages. After clicking the back arrow on my browser, I was signed out again!
Methods of Being Signed Out
1. Going to the main website page or refreshing on it (every time)
2. Clicking on messages from discussion forums (very common)
3. Being in messages and clicking the back arrow on my browser to go back to discussion forums (somewhat common)
4. Clicking on messages from someone's profile (very common)
5. Going into messages without being signed out, clicking on a link to discussion forums, signing back in, somewhat likely to get redirected to the main scratch page and signed out again (not too common)
Extra Info
I have tested on my other devices listed below and have not experienced issues:
-Mac (chrome browser)
-iPad (safari browser)
-iPhone (safari browser)
-Windows (chrome browser)
I have updated my device twice and cleared my cookies in the last hour once and issues are still occurring. (Updating my device again reverted the cookie clearing changes)
My Chromebook has built-in extensions including a filtering software and adblocker (I won't name them exactly because Scratch doesn't like that), so I'm unsure if those are causing any issues, since I wasn't experiencing issues until the date of this post.

It's fine for me on mac, so I guess it's good to know it's not just for ChromeOS. I saw another post of someone having (most likely) the same issue on ChromeOS though. My browser / operating system: MacOS Macintosh X 10.15.7, Chrome 121.0.0.0, No Flash version detected

Either A) You have cookies disabled (This can mean websites will forget you're signed in), or B) You logged into an alt in the same browser.

I just checked, and I have third party cookies allowed (can't have them disabled in any way due to my district having them enabled). Secondly, I usually only get signed out once when I open Scratch (because I log into my devices at home), and after logging in, I STAY signed in the whole time, and don't sign into my other account. I shouldn't be getting signed out EVERY TIME I go to the main Scratch page (scratch.mit.edu).. Either A) You have cookies disabled (This can mean websites will forget you're signed in), or B) You logged into an alt in the same browser.

Send the video to somewhere like GoFile or FileDitch (don't use Google Drive), then send the link here. I have a screen recording from my chromebook of the issue, but I'm unsure of how to upload it to the forums as a gif or something.

do you have your account logged in on another device? scratch can only handle one instance of an account at one time, so check other devices if you have them

I do sign in on other devices, but I only have to log in once and I stay signed in until I log into another device. The problem is that I keep getting signed out despite having already signed in (and at school I really can only sign into one device, my chromebook). do you have your account logged in on another device? scratch can only handle one instance of an account at one time, so check other devices if you have them

I feel like if I was hacked, the password would have been changed by now and I wouldn't be able to sign in on my 3 other devices, so I'm not too worried about being hacked. I'll still change my password just to be safe.this is actually really weird, if you think you’ve been hacked change your passwordI do sign in on other devices, but I only have to log in once and I stay signed in until I log into another device.

(I'm gonna try screen recording some footage on my chromebook and upload it to youtube on another account, the quality is pretty bad though)

Try clearing your cookies and site data for the website, and see if the issue persists. There could be a malformed cookie.

Update: The issue has been.. uh.. very partially solved. Now it takes 2 refreshes on the scratch website to sign me out compared to just one. (ex. I sign in, go to a project, go back to the main page, go back to a project, I'm signed out.) I still get signed out when opening up a new page, and I'm still experiencing multiple of the same issues as before.
Edit: Updated my device and the changes got reverted. RIP ;-;

Are you able to try using a different browser on that device?
I also noticed you have the login details in the search bar problem

Nope, Google chrome is the only browser that my district allows (we had other ones but they got blocked, idk about official ones though, probably not worth it)) Are you able to try using a different browser on that device?

All my Chrome accounts are gm. The one I'm using on my Chromebook is a school one that has built-in extensions on the chromebook that are unable to be removed. I'm unsure if these are causing issues. I'll also test going onto my school account on my personal devices and see if that changes anything. is ur chrome account a school account or a gm that does not end with @gm.com? because my school gm chrome account has this issue but my personal account does not.

Are you talking about the one where you get signed out?
