This has been bothering me for a while now (few years maybe ?) - websites repeatedly expiring my login for who knows what reason. Sure, maybe I can understand for high value trading platform or something.
But no - most mundane sites which most people wouldn’t at all consider sensitive, like HomeDepot / BHPhotoVideo / various online shops, will expire my session within like 24h - seriously, wtf. And significantly more sensitive sites, eg Meta/FB, are usually able to keep my auth for months/years.
I haven’t chatted about it with anyone, as I partly wasn’t sure if something in my setup has changed and whether I’m a minority that fell into some constant reauth bucket. Or whether most of site owners have slowly been using lower and lower auth expiration, causing me a bunch of frustration and friction.
- bdangubic 1y ago…high value trading platform or something those are actually ones that don’t do stupid shit like expire passwords… I have had one password for vanguard… and I am in my 50’s :)
