Getting logged out when using two PW sites on same domain

If I have two PW sites that sit in separate folders, I can't be logged-in in both sites.

e.g.

site.com/project-a/pw-admin-slug/

site.com/project-b/pw-admin-slug/

If I login to project-a, then also login to project-b, get back to the first site, I have to login again.

Is the cookie / session mechanism storing my domain? If it does, and it's meant to be some sort of security enhancement, it should not check my domain, but root-URL of the PW-installation. (strangely, this doesn't happen on localhost)

Is it possible to prevent that behavior? Often I have two sites open (e.g. check to see if I have the same CKEditor setup and quickly copy and paste it, or copy a user-role)

The cookie contains: domain and path

Although both PW instances create the same named cookie.

I'd move sites to subdomains. That works without any problems.

      ProcessWire without guest cookies, possible?
      By SwimToWin
      ProcessWire is setting a "wires" cookie for each guest session.
      Is it possible drop that cookies, so there are no cookies at all for guests?
      That way, I don't need to spam the user with a cookie consent box.
      I don't need cookies for user preferences and marketing purposes.
      (Why are cookies being set by default in the first place?)

      Session problems resulting in 500 error
      By Peter Knight
      I have a demo site which I moved to a new VPS for client testing
      We noticed that leaving a page open and then revisiting the site can result in a 25 second(ish) to load time and will then throw a 500 Error.
      The hosting guys had a look and confirmed that the server is fine but the issue could be related to authentication or sessions.
      We are running Page Protector and ProCache so I wondered if there were any known bugs here and any recommended actions.
      My actual PW log doesn't show anything but the server log has plenty of these

      Customize Profile Page
      By Marcel
      Hey all,
      I want to customize the mywebsite/processwire/profile page. It's almost all good but I want to get rid of the sections 'Admin Theme' and 'Language' so that the user can just set a new password. (see image)
      Do I have to modify the admin template or how can I do that? Because when I go tree>Admin>Profile there are no fields to add or remove.
      Or where can I find the php file?
      I would appreciate your help.

      [Solved] PW3 - Login Redirect Query
      By ridgedale
      Reference: PW 3.0.111 and uikit3 based site using the Regular-Master profile.
      I'm trying to automatically redirect a logged-in user to a custom profile page using $session->redirect() and need to add $user->name to the redirect path.
      All my attempts appear to have failed:
      $session->redirect('/user-profile/')->name; $session->redirect('/user-profile/')->$user->name; $session->redirect('/user-profile/' . get($user->name . '/')); $session->redirect('/user-profile/' & get($user->name)); Can anyone point out where I am going wrong?
