The number of websites where the "Remember me" checkbox does absolutely nothing is pretty infuriating.
Especially when said website wants to 2FA (SMS, of course) your butt every time you log in.
It could be that some of the privacy protections on my browser is foiling their fingerprinting, but if they're relying on fingerprinting rather than just a cookie to retain a login, they deserve a collective wedgie.
@RL_Dane Hey, at work they decided that exactly this PLUS automatic logout after 60 minutes of idle (per tab, not idle on the machine) equals security. 🤷
Right, because totally pointless officious stuff is security, but security practices during development is totally unreasonable and a waste of time. ;)
