# If you are automatically logged out

Study administrators can set a maximum inactivity period and a maximum usage period for the study, which require you to provide your log in credentials if either of the following occurs:

- No activity occurs in the application for a specified period of time.
- A session runs longer than a specified period of time, with or without activity.

If your study includes these settings and you are automatically logged out, the Login page appears with a message that explains what has happened.

If you receive an automatic log out message, log in again. Any data that you are in the process of entering when you were logged out is saved until you submit it.
