### Project Name (if applicable, otherwise just type n/a) n/a ### Question Sorry for my poor English. I’m a Spanish user and don’t speak English. My session in the app expires, I don’t know exactly how long it’s been since the last time, maybe several days. And when I return to the project, I can’t sync data because I’m not logged in and I have to log in again. ### I confirm I have read the User Guide at [docs.epicollect.net](http://docs.epicollect.net) on ### I confirm I have searched for an answer in this community. on ### I confirm I have tried asking the same question to Perplexity AI with the tag #epicollect5, but it did not help. on ---

Yes, the app does automatically log you out after a period of inactivity for security reasons. This usually happens after a few days of not using the app, which sounds like what you experienced. When that happens, you’ll need to log in again before you can sync or access your data. ---
