I have observed over 3 days, everyday in the same browser the client.getFingerprint() changes. Is there any way to keep it same everytime

Hi @mz52arsi did you get these results on https://clientjs.org/ ?

No I am using it on my website where it generates one ID per day. So What I mean by that is -> Day1: You generate it any number of time it remains the same. Day2. Its a different number than the one generated on Day1 but remains same for entire Day2.

.....

If you want to check the live example check it out on https://jobs.workindia.in localStorage has the ID stored but everyday it will change.

function makeid() { var client = new ClientJS() return "_" + client.getFingerprint(); }

This is exactly the problem. The fingerprint code will change over time!
