Android applications forgets settings.

I have noticed that several Android applications keeps forgetting their settings.

As I prefer native Sailfish programs I do not have that many examples but almost all Android applications I am forced to use have similar problems.

For example credentials for the program "BankID" are lost periodically which forces me use an other computer to login to my internet bank and retrieve new credentials for it.
Another bank application, the one for Nordea, forgets login settings (minor problem as one just need to retype them but guess it might be related).
Similar behavior has been seen in Android application used for checking timetable for commuter trains.

Have not been able to determine a pattern for when settings are lost. It is, for example, not related to a power on/off cycle as often the applications still works after the phone been rebooted but some times they do not.
