How to fix Kite logging out when switching apps

Sat, 20 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000

The Kite app logs you out when you switch to another app, such as an authenticator app to copy a time-based one-time password (TOTP), because your device is in power-saving mode or is preventing Kite from running in the background; the operating system kills the backgrounded app and drops your session. Per Zerodha’s own support article, this is a power-management behaviour, not a deliberate security lock that triggers on app switch. The fix is to stop the OS from suspending Kite: turn off power saving, exempt Kite from battery optimisation, or sidestep the switch entirely by using device-lock biometric login instead of TOTP.
