Hi! I understand that having to log in every time you want to shop at Fred Meyer, while not needing to at Safeway, can be a bit inconvenient. Let's see if we can get to the bottom of this.

Could you tell me if you're using the Fred Meyer app or website on your Android 10 device with WebKit browser? Also, have you noticed if the app or site logs you out after a while, or is it every single time you open it fresh? Any details like if you clear your browser cache, cookies, or use any privacy features would help as well.

Meanwhile, I can share that some apps have different login persistence settings. Safeway's app might retain your login info longer by using stored credentials and cookies, while Fred Meyer’s might require login each session for security purposes or due to how its app manages sessions and tokens.

Once you provide some details, I can guide you through checking app settings like permissions, cache, or account configurations to help reduce having to log in repeatedly. Does that sound good?

Can't respond to your questions right now, but thank you for the fast reply! Maybe it has something to do w using Duck Duck Go? Parked outside a Fred Meyer store right now & can't recall my password. Hv always gotten poor phone reception inside this store anyway. By "always", I mean for decades. I sometimes hv forgotten that until I'm inside. Some cashiers hv been nice & given me discounts in spite of this annoying situation. Just need to remember my password so I can login every time I guess.

Thanks for the update! Yes, using DuckDuckGo browser could influence your login experience. DuckDuckGo is focused on privacy and often blocks trackers and cookies, which apps and websites sometimes use to keep you logged in. This could mean the Fred Meyer app or website isn't able to save your login information properly when you use that browser.

Also, poor phone reception inside the store can make it tough for the app to communicate with Fred Meyer's servers, causing login attempts to fail or log you out unexpectedly.

Here are a few steps you can try:

1. Use a Different Browser Temporarily: Try logging in using Chrome or Firefox once to see if they retain your login better than DuckDuckGo.

2. Save Your Password: Since remembering your password is a challenge, try using a password manager app on your Android device. This can securely save and autofill your password for you.

3. Reset Your Password: If you can’t recall your password, use the “Forgot Password” link on the Fred Meyer login page to reset it. This will let you set a new one.

4. Connect to Stable Wi-Fi: When you are at home or somewhere with better Wi-Fi, try logging in and completing the shopping list there. This will reduce dependency on poor cellular reception in the store.

5. Check App Permissions and Settings: Allow the Fred Meyer app access to storage and disable any privacy settings that block cookies or tracking just for the app. Sometimes privacy apps or browsers can interfere with normal app functionality.

6. Clear Cache: Go to Android Settings > Apps > Fred Meyer > Storage, and clear cache. This can sometimes fix login glitches.

If you need, I can help walk you through any of these steps. Would you like assistance resetting your password or setting up a password manager?
