Signing in each and every visit?
That's good. Of course, just like with the email notification, there is a temporary solution in leaving at least one connected page open all the time.
I would hope that someone using a public computer would remember to sign out, but that doesn't always happen, of course, and we've all got other things on our mind at any given point. There are advantages and disadvatanges with either, of course.
Still, though, the new site is starting to grow on me. It'll take some getting used to, but think about how many sites we go to that have changed over the years and we have eventually gotten used to those changes.
Progress never stops.
True, and come to think of it most public computers have auto logout from the internet connection which also clears site log ins. Hopefully the log on time will be extended here, regardless if page/browser is open.

Hi guys,
Thanks for sharing your experiences. Some login changes were made recently, how are the login/logout times for you now? Are you still finding yourself needing to log in often within a short amount of time?

Liz, it does seem longer for me, not sure what the actual cutoff is now but is much better.

I am surprised we dont have an option burried deep somewhere, so we can select, "stay logged in indefinitely" as I am the only one to ever touch the only computer in the house that ever sees my accounts... lol

How long it lasts, I don't know, but it does seem to be keeping me signed in now. Thanks to whoever worked on it.
And I agree with Corrosive that being able to stay logged in indefinitely would be easier for some of us who have no possibility of others using our computers. Perhaps some time down the road.

Thanks for the feedback, glad to hear it's not logging you out as quickly.
I wouldn't mind a "stay logged in forever" option either, but I don't think the higher ups would like that as it may pose as a security risk in cases where people are logging in from public spaces.
