Website Session Cookie Timeout

Nov 21, 2007 Cunjo link
Hey, I just powered up this old lappy for the first time in about 6 months... and it's still logged in to the VO website!

It would be really nice as a security measure if the session expired sometime before the end of the year. I know I've suggested this before, but can't be assed to dig up that thread.

The last thing anyone needs is to sign in to the website at a public terminal somewhere and forget to sign out, and give anyone who comes by a year-long window of opportunity to hijack the account.

This makes sense.

YES.

I always remember to log out when using a pubic terminal, even though VO is not really that well known, and chances are slim that someone else who plays VO is gonna visit the web site using the same computer. But it would be good to have what you suggest, to be on the safe side...
