With "disconnected", you mean the connection just disappeared in SN?
Did you logout? We delete the locally stored spending credentials on logout on purpose.
If you enabled device sync in your settings, this should not happen anymore since then they are stored encrypted on the server.
If you didn't and you didn't logout, there might be a bug or something else deleted your browser data.

Yup, the little arrow doohickey for "send" disappeared, and when I opened the NWC tile the send field was empty.
I don't think I logged out, but possibly I did. I'll pay attention to that in the future, thank you.
(And I enabled device sync, so now, regardless of logging out, if it ever happens then it's clearly a bug -- either a SN bug, or my node's?)

Without device sync, if your browser updates, or you exit the browser, or you restart your computer, the browser will often clear its storage.
We don't want to store the ability to spend your money on our servers in plaintext, so we store them in your browser. Your browser will purge its storage unpredictably is the downside.
With device sync enabled, we encrypt your spending credentials so we can store them on the server rather than in the browser. This tends to make the credentials more available (absent bugs like the one siggy saw this morning).

FYI, I did have device sync enabled. (!)
