Logged out from all sites after installing i3

Hello,

I use GNOME shell as my primary DE, but I wanted to try i3, so I installed i3-wm package, when I logged into it I wasn't logged to any websites (I told myself, okay I don't care), but when I changed DE back to GNOME, I was logged out from all sites in GNOME shell too.

Why? And what I should to do to not be logged out again if I go to i3?

I use several linux distros like: Archlinux, Ubuntu, Fedora, Linux Mint

Re: Logged out from all sites after installing i3

How did you "log into it" exactly? In a general sense your browser stores credentials in a secret store, most likely gnome-keyring which will be started by default on GNOME and you might want to explicitly launch on i3: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/GNOME/ … XFCE,_...) If you did not use GDM/a DM but startx you need to setup your xinitrc correctly: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Xinit#xinitrc

I normally Logged out from GNOME session and at lock screen I pressed gear icon and switched GNOME to i3

*You* are not logged into webservices, your browser stored cookies for them.
=> Chromium, Firefox or something entirely different?
You will have to be a lot more elaborate about your setup to get this out of the "helps, it's does nots works" territory.

Fwwi:
