Stay Logged In 2 Weeks Not Working
Everytime I sign on to Firefox my personal homepage does not display because it says I am not logged on. I signon and click on 'keep me logged in for 2 weeks' and when I close my browser and reopen it, it does not maintain my id and pw and requires me to sign on again. I sign on and off daily a hundred times and I wish to have my password remain for 2 weeks. I cleared cookies and that didn't help. I researched but cannot find any ATT phone number for email techincal support. Any advice?

Logging into Yahoo.com and checking the box "Keep me signed in" absolutely fixed the problem for me (both in Firefox and IE9). Many, many thanks. It was driving me crazy!.

Think the Yahoo workaround may be a necessary but not sufficient fix. i.e. It may temporary resolve the problem, but it may come back again. My experience has been that the 2 week keep me logged in is sporatic. It will work for a few weeks or months, and then suddenly requires me to log in several times a day for several days--up to about a week sometimes, then it returns to requiring me to log in only every two weeks until it starts the several times a day cycle again. Time to failure seems random, and time to resume the longer "logged in" timeout also random, but thankfully much shorter.
The keep me logged in for two weeks box has always been checked on both AT&T and Yahoo.
Had a frequent log in period last week, but it only lasted a day.

I spoke too soon. zSigning into Yahoo.com seemed to work for an hour or so and now I'm back to being signed out every time again. I want to scream!!

I am sorry that the workaround didn't work for you.
The production team is researching this issue and as soon as I have any additional information, I'll let everyone know.
