This kind of functionality is required, for at least one reason: public access to computers in public libraries. So long as some government services can only be accessed online, you will need access to private email accounts from publicly available computers.
Logout after session end is quite useful in that situation, even if only as a backup to manually logging out.
- cortesoft 4y agoI think most libraries completely reset sessions between users. Way too much liability otherwise.
- fashiontechguru 4y agoThe software most of them use to manage that is atrociously counter to being user-friendly.
- ed25519FUUU 4y agoWhy is it atrocious? From a user’s perspective it’s simple and friendly: you click log out and you’re logged out of everything.
- Gigachad 4y agoI remember it being pretty good. You log in with your library details, then when you hit logout. It resets everything fresh.
- Gigachad 4y agoThose computers typically wipe themselves with a fresh image after each user, and if they don’t you can assume they had some key logger malware that just stole your login anyway. There is also browser ingonito mode that works perfect for this use.
