There are some websites that are both super aggressive about timing out your session and also make you play hide and seek for the login button. Of the sites I use frequently UPS used to be about the worst offender but the most recent version of their site does have a usable login link.
- Anon1096 5y agoVanguard is another one that drives me up the wall. Going to Vanguard.com doesn't have a sign in area to autofill with a password manager; you have to go to the personal investors page. And sessions are hard limited to 15 minutes so you have to jump through these hoops every time. I have the correct page bookmarked but even on that page the log in boxes don't appear until half way down.

- fckthisguy 5y agoI don't think the criticism is the logout time, it's the fact that you have to hunt for the button. The logout time only exasperates the problem.

- tzs 5y agoHow about having a short timeout for making transactions and a longer timeout for viewing balances and transactions?
- leesalminen 5y agoShould probably require a TOTP MFA code for all movements of money anyway regardless of session validity.
- presto8 5y agoTotally agree, Vanguard's landing page is a disaster. I was able to directly link this page however, which I bookmarked: https://personal.vanguard.com/us/AuthLogin https://personal.vanguard.com/us/AuthLogin
