Docker Desktop Application is kept/keep logging me out.

[ghost]

I have been using Docker Desktop and a MacOS environment as well as a Widows 10/11 environment and everyday, I have to re-login to the docker desktop and is been annoying. The above is not sign in, and the botttom is allows me to log in. after couple of hours or maybe after when i turn off my computer off and turn it on the next day. ti logs me out.

[aristofun]

Still happens on MacOS 13.1 and Docker desktop 4.15.0 (93002)

[ghost]

works fine with me!

[aristofun]

No wonder people flying away from Docker to other solutions - for a year you can't fix the silly but terribly frustrating bug. With all due respect, I'm gonna drop your products and services for good the moment I see alternative that fits my usecase.

[ghost]

people are using docker no matter what if you're still having issues. Docker isn't just a local development. THere are other services as such as vagrant. Docker also release a Linux version of the desktop which also has issues when a container is using a non-root user.

I'm on MacBook Pro 16" Intel which works fine, I'm also on a MacBook Pro 16" M1 Max which also works fine. and I'm also on a Mac studio M1 Max as well, and Windows 11.

[sjorsverhoef]

I keep getting logged out on m1 mac using docker desktop. I don't even use a second machine so this is the only place the credentials are used. Before I had to re-login every week or so and now I have to login every time I reboot my mac using Docker Desktop v4.18.0 (104112).

I need a Docker account because my company got noticed and reached out to by Docker because we have a lot of docker users and need Docker desktop accounts to comply with Docker billing. This costs a lot of money and I don't want to cause the company I work for trouble by forgetting to log in. Please look into this issue as it is very relevant to me.

1. upon start of macbook:

   

2. Upon clicking button

   

3. Redirects back to application and logs me back in

This issue persists in Docker Desktop 4.19.0 (106363) + macOS 13.3.1 (a) (22E772610a) -- Any updates, feedback on how to prevent? @trungutt - Thank you, best regards

[pickledbrill]

Docker Desktop 4.19.0 on MacOS still have this issue. Also have a weird issue telling me have issue getting the user list of organization, even though I'm a Personal user.

I was able to solve this issue by emptying the browser's local storage and session storage relative to https://hub.docker.com/

To do this, go to your browser's developer tools --> Application --> Storage->Clear site data (with the "including third-party cookies" option selected) Check that Local Storage and Session Storage have been cleared, then resume the login process from docker desktop as normal.

Win 11 (22H2) Docker Desktop 4.21.0

What is considered the normal session length by Docker? It might help in providing diagnostic information. I'm frequently annoyed by this, but it could just be the session length I'm annoyed by rather than experiencing an actual bug. Like e.g. is the session timeout supposed to be "as long as the application is opened X times a week"?

Our current logged-in duration for Docker Desktop is 30 days if inactive, or 90 days max, unless your ISP is set otherwise.

This was increased on May 31st, (server-side, regardless of Docker Desktop version), which may have helped some users here that have reported issues.

Along with diagnostics, it is helpful to mention the frequency of logouts if you do continue to have issues to see how it compares to these limits.

What do you consider 'active'? For me it seems every time docker restarts I need to login, however I start docker when my machine boots and uptime is typically > 30 days between reboots.

[heyask]

me too. every time I reboot my m1 max mac, docker desktop loses session. but quit and reopen docker desktop doesn't loses login session. hmm...

[Luke-JH]

Same issue. Ubuntu Linux

@heyask @Luke-JH can you share a diagnostics id?

I updated to 4.22.1 (118664), and it doesn't loses session

[zidk]

with "Start Docker Desktop when you log in activated" checked, the program ask me for log in again every os restart

if I turn off this option and manually open the program after a restart, this issue doesn't happen, I'm not sure is a matter of timing with the internet connexion (openvpn at startup) or with other system service and their launching order.

On macbook M1 | ventura 13.5.1 | Docker Desktop 4.22.1 (118664)

[oozone]

The same issue on Ubuntu 22.04 Jammy, Docker desktop v4.22.1 (118664) (latest). With every reboot, with docker desktop on auto start I need to login again. It's very annoying.

[ccsplit]

I am also having the same issue with Windows 11 Docker Desktop v4.23.0 (120376) (latest). As a sidenote, I attempted the workaround suggested by https://github.com/docker/for-win/issues/12745#issuecomment-1708937633. However, it still prompted stating credentials were invalid and I needed to re-login.

Happens on every boot. Logged in via GUI and CLI as per suggestions.

[pr0b3r7]

Issue persists in:

• 4.22.1 (118664) on macOS Ventura 13.5.2 (22G91)
• 4.23.0 (120376) on macOS Ventura 13.5.2 (22G91)

[damianh]

Happens to me (Win11)on every boot / wake. Very annoying.

[NikkiSatmaka]

This happens to me everyday as well, on Debian 12 and Mac m1

[olivierchatry]

Happen to me everytime as well, on win11

[Celarye]

The same thing happens to me on Windows 11 as well.

@Celarye @olivierchatry @NikkiSatmaka @damianh @pr0b3r7 can you please share a diagnostics id? https://docs.docker.com/desktop/troubleshoot/overview/

[hlourencomarques]

The same issue happens to me with Docker Desktop 4.22.1 (118664) on Windows 10 Enterprise 22H2 (19045.3324)

@bsousaa I have the same issue on my Mac (with apple silicon) - every time I close and then after some time starting Docker Desktop - it signs me out. My Diagnostics ID E27C59CC-514B-4202-94C5-89872498DCEB/20230927075655

[akoessler]

A reproducible occurence: When Docker Desktop starts (system autostart) but there is no network connection yet (e.g. wifi not yet connected) it will just log out and requires a re-login.

Diagnostics ID of such a case: EA6763F9-FDE1-482A-B01D-67F17B8F4A5D/20230927080908

[bsousaa]

We did some changes to the auth backend. Can you confirm if you are still facing the issue? (you may need to refresh your auth token)

[ccsplit]

@bsousaa, personally I have not been asked to login again for at least the last two days on restart, so it appears to have worked on my end for Windows 11.

[Celarye]

It seems to be fixed for me as well.

[Celarye]

I just noticed that there still seem to be cases where Docker signs you out on startup, restart seems fine for now. Seems like it has to do with Docker launching before having an internet connection...

[olivierchatry]

Seems to work for me now.

[akoessler]

No, still the same. If there is no network at startup it will immediately be logged out.

[NikkiSatmaka]

After updating to docker 4.24, everything works fine

[bsousaa]

@akoessler we are investigating the sign-out when there is no network on startup.

[ViggoV]

@akoessler we are investigating the sign-out when there is no network on startup.

I am having this problem as well. My job enforces a combination of antivirus/firewall (WithSecure) and Cloudflare WARP/Zero Trust, which has been known to cause some issues in the past. May be related.

[Nelwhix]

same on windows 10

[raoulvdberge]

This is still an issue.

[Geoelycom]

I'm trying to authenticate my aws to push my container to ecr and I'm stuck on this issue. This is still an issue. I have downloaded and upgraded to the latest version but the issue persists. can someone tell me how they resolve theirs? I'm on macOS. docker version 4.24.2

[Geoelycom]

Hi,

Go to https://hub.docker.com/settings/security and generate an access token, then using your terminal:

$ docker login -u your_username

When prompts for the password use your access token.

Windows 11 22H2, WSL version: 0.70.4.0, Docker Desktop v4.13.0

This solves it for me. docker version 4.24.2 (macOS)

[Celarye]

This is still an issue for me on the latest versions of Docker Desktop on both Windows and MacOS.

Every time this happens my containers start without accessing my bind mounts, needing me to restart docker engine after manually logging in.

[matthiasr]

It seems that this happens whenever Docker Desktop starts without internet access. Typically that's at boot time, but this is not required. I could immediately provoke this on a longrunning mac:

❯ uptime
14:54  up 12 days,  3:21, 3 users, load averages: 1.29 1.92 2.00
❯ uname -a
Darwin matthias-0.local 22.6.0 Darwin Kernel Version 22.6.0: Thu Nov  2 07:43:25 PDT 2023; root:xnu-8796.141.3.701.17~6/RELEASE_ARM64_T6020 arm64

Diagnostic ID:

724DCC1C-34D4-4102-A267-741AD9802CB2/20231204145053

Steps:

0. Log into Docker Desktop
1. Quit Docker Desktop
2. Disconnect WiFi & wired ethernet
3. Start Docker Desktop -> it starts signed out

[raoulvdberge]

I hope docker doesn't send emails to my employer because they are assuming I'm using it without license because they can't keep me signed in.......

[sjorsverhoef]

@raoulvdberge Thank you! You exactly describe my problem. Please fix this Docker!
