I'm not sure why this happens, but whenever I open a ticket, I think of some additional way to troubleshoot.
I simply put Chrome in a cron entry and it signed me out, leaving bing-rewards out of the mix. However, if you have any ideas of why this might be happening, I'm all ears.
And like that, I figured it out, after spending hours on it. To solve, I did the following:
Sorry for the clutter.
Glad you figured it out. I haven't tried using cron or Chrome on linux before, but sounds too mee it was any issue with Chrome not remembering your cookies/user preferences. Perhaps there is a way to launch chrome with a specific profile selected.
I ran this on Arch with no issues. I recently migrated to Fedora 36 and have the following:
15 3,5 * DISPLAY=:0 /usr/local/bin/bing-rewards --exe=/usr/bin/google-chrome-stable & > /home/tobfromme/rewards.out 2>&1
If I launch Chrome manually and sign into my MS account, I can then launch bing-rewards any number of times with no issue. If I have bing-rewards launched via cron, even once, it signs me out. Further, if I launch Chrome manually after the cron job, I am signed out of my MS account.
