    I have my browser set to clear everything when it’s closed. Both on mobile and on desktop. I would never have it any other way. God forbid someone hacked your PC…can you imagine of they had access to your browser that was logged into every single major account?

      It’s definitely a potential security issue, but I don’t really think it’s realistically a large one. Hell, a keylogger would probably be worse for you than for me because I hardly ever actually enter passwords.

      Then you get the dumb websites saying “we don’t recognize this device.” I can’t stand that. Especially while I’m using Passkeys to log in, like how are you this paranoid as a web developer not to realize that?

      I’m a web developer myself armed with a VPN, and I’m tired of being hassled on others’ websites. Security based solely on IP address is lame.

      Everything important with the exception of a single email address that probably can’t do that much damage anyway is auto logged out. My bank, being only 90% fucking stupid forces a logout after 5minutrs of inactivity on their web portal.

      It’s be annoying to reset all my passwords, that’s about it.
