I am logged into way too many sites to do that unfortunately. I do use a password manager with a browser plugin to make it easier, but it's still a lot of manual work to re-login to all the sites I use on a normal basis, for both work and home, every time I restart my browser.
Would be nice if there was some other solution, like maybe encrypting the browser profile and then requiring a pin/password/biometric/something to unlock it on each start.
- drnick1 8mo agoIt shouldn't take more than one second to log into a website using the Firefox password manager.
- majorchord 8mo agoIn my case it often can and does. Many sites I use force email or SMS-based 2FA, sometimes in addition to "security questions" and/or have other multiple steps of authorization (like captchas) required; it's often not just a simple username/password for me. Now multiply that by 25 different sites. Not happening.
- drnick1 8mo agoOne option for that is to use multiple Firefox profiles. The main general-purpose browsing profile would have a hardened configuration, while dedicated profiles are used for other websites that should remain logged in.
- boisterousness 8mo agoThere's a Cookie AutoDelete plugin [1] that cleans up cookies, cache, etc for a site after all of its tabs are closed. You can exclude sites that you want to stay logged in to. [1] https://github.com/Cookie-AutoDelete/Cookie-AutoDelete https://github.com/Cookie-AutoDelete/Cookie-AutoDelete
