When I look at some 1000 or more history items, I go and clear history, which depending on the browser, clears cookies and data from the browser. I then have to log back in to sites. Cookies keep you logged in.

I've seen people go into "private" or "incognito" browsing mode accidentally, which also clears cookies when a tab is closed.

It's not hard to do by accident on a phone.

On an iphone, you can do it by accidentally tapping the two overlapping squares at the bottom right of the screen.

Just things to watch for. "just in case"
