Have to log in every day

[JollyMisanthropeParticipant 3356]

Is it a security measure that I have to log back in every day? If that’s the case then no big deal, but if there is an option to stay logged in that would be great.

I think where you log in there is a check box that says ‘keep me logged in’ or something like that.

We can increase that to 2 or three days if you want, but generally 6 -48 hours is good practice. It’s not like we’re a bank that cuts your session after 15 minutes.

Keeping you logged in indefinitely is not a good idea. Especially if you lose your laptop or leave yourself logged in at work and then leave your desk – or whatever. There are also the odd time we need to “reset” everything and then everyone will have to log in again but that happens maybe 3 times a month.

If you find it annoying and want it increased to 3 days, we have no problem with that. But keep in mind there may be times when we deliberately need to you log in again.

We can increase it to 48 or 72 hours. We just can’t let it “never expire”.
You can click the check box “remember me” when you log in too.

Same old story. It has always been a weighing of security versus usability / user comfort. I would say, 24 hours would be my personal minimum preference. Would it be possible to let the user decide this in his “account preferences”?

If you use the password remember function, you would only have to click 1 button though.

Even when I have the “remember me” box checked, I still get logged out, at the end of every day.

That’s fair. But may I suggest instead of automatically logging out a logged in account 48-72 hours after it logged in, how about logging out an account after 48-72 hours of inactivity?

The website for my public library has this thing that drops down saying “hey, are you still there?” and if you click on it your session is refreshed, if not it logs you out soon.

In terms of security in that regard so far I always unchecked that “keep me logged in” box anyway and logged back in manually. Also in part, because it is good practice for remembering my high sec. password or in short: security over complacency / better safe than sorry. But that’s me.

I'd rather die a natual death with a clear MGTOW conscience somewhere off the grid than one within "modern" civilisation with a big stress mark on my forehead and a couple of dozen tubes plugged into my body.
