once you have your browser on go to settings and check on remember username and passwords. and then restart your phone, starting next log you have you will be back to normal

I'm having this problem as well. And it's been since PR 1.3. When I click on my FB bookmarked shortcut it always sends me to the login page. It didn't EVER do that before. I thought maybe it was something to do with the user agent string of the browser so I changed the user agent to a Chrome desktop string and it still takes me to the login page. It won't even keep my TMO sign-in info nor will it ask to "save this password". Is this a bug in 1.3??

Enable password saving is already checkmarked. What gives..??

What do you have in so far as browser cookie settings? Do you have cookies set to always accept, always deny, or always ask? Do you clear your browser cache/history after you finish browsing? Do you have something set to do it automatically (some "cron" job, using fcron or alarmed, for instance)?

Anyway, I never have password set to save, because I value the extra layer of security (if a person grabs my device and goes online with it while it's not locked, they don't get in any of my accounts), and think it's sad when people are too lazy to type in their nicknames and passwords - but for places I don't log out (like here), the browser (MicroB at least) seems to remember me indefinitely. I don't think it's purely a PR1.3 bug because other people have been fine, and I'm sure you're not the only few people having your browsers sign you in automatically.

It's probably a mix of browser, and something else. *Shrug*

Try disabling password saving, reboot and then re-enable it.
it's just a boolean value and may have been messed up during the update to PR1.3 or something.

I had similar problem, turned out something was corrupted in MicroB settings. I renamed the .mozilla folder in /home/user to something else and after a reboot the browserd daemon recreated it and the cookies were working (and since I only renamed it, I copied some of the old settings back after that).
