Vivaldi doesn't recall login info
-
Why is it necessary to always use a two-factor ID to enter my normal, usual, and frequently visited websites? I do not have the two-factor ID feature enabled on these sites, but it persists. Whatever happened to automatic login on my frequent sites?
AND
How do I receive notifications such as email when my questions have received a reply? I specifically have to come back here and see if there have been any replies.

Have you activated with Settings → General → Startup → Last Session?
Passwords for websites allowed to store, see Settings → Privacy → Passwords?
Do you use password manager extension?
What is " two-factor ID"?
Which sites (URL) does that issue happen?
Please try the troubleshooting steps, including testing in a clean profile and disabling adblocking/extensions:

I don't know what this is. I use an external password manager but it is not connected to the browser. I do save my website passwords within Vivaldi as I normally do with any other browser I use, e.g. Chrome, Edge and so forth.
Two factor ID is often imposed by a website when you first login as a second validation for who you are. After you are validated, the site bypasses this feature unless something changes. Vivaldi seems to present me as a first time login user on these sites. It is never a simple login process... enter user name (usually automatically listed) followed by password (generally posted when the information is stored within Vivaldi). I always have to verify my credentials using another method such as phone text, Authenticator, email code. It gets pretty annoying!

Let me test on Google, Vivaldi Forum, Github with Two Factor.

Hi, many pages does this, I guess this is not a Vivaldi issue.
Login to Paypal, Amazon, Google services or my bank account ask for a verification if the browser/system is not already known.
Except for Paypal, bank you have never do it again.
I forgot the exact naming but iirc Amazon ask, "Should I trust this browser in the feature".
If you say Yes, you don`t need to verify again.
I hope I understand correctly what do you meant. -
@mib2berlin I tested Github, Google and Vivaldi Forum with my 2FA and a security key and all is fine.

Do you maybe clear cookies at restart? -
Very good possibility. I have been looking for that setting but so far, no luck.

Check privacy settings > Site Permissions > Cookies, setting have to be Allow not Session only.
