And buggy. Element/Matrix is the worst chat app I have to use on a semi-regular basis.

I have to click away three modal popups during every single login, and it doesn't remember logins so I have to login every time I visit the page. It also asks me to verify my login/device on every login because it doesn't remember. This happens on two devices, with two different browsers.

Is that on a self hosted, or on app.element.io? I have a self hosted, and I just opened it and it logged me straight in - I can't remember the last time I logged in as I use the desktop client.

I just tried app.element.io and it asks if I want to "store data in persistent storage" - maybe you clicked no a while back, and it is still blocked?

Sounds like you log in from a web browser, but clear local storage (or cookies) at the end of your browsing session?

I log in rarely enough that this doesn't accommodate me: my most recent browser login must have been two years ago or so.

Any other website with login manages to remember my login. Not sure what causes it, but it's not fun.

What are the modals you have to dismiss? That doesn't sound familiar to me at all. Could have something to do with it?
