Clear History -- Read the fine print ...

Beware of the Clear History command in Safari. I stupidly thought it just removed the list of URLs you've visited. Instead it performs a full frontal lobotomy, so every site (even this one) treats you like you've never been there before. And if you've ever turned 2 factor authorization on for anything, you have to go through all that again too.

you can hold down option when you use the clear history command and it will keep website data

I wish I would have known this yesterday. Better late than never.

I had the same thing happen to my yesterday — but over Chrome and I had not cleared anything. What a PIA!
