| Jul 10, 2018 at 5:16 | comment | added | Roux Martin | @MichaelLai the question wasn't about the phrases used but about which setup OP should used. Also, I try to avoid linking "example" sites as they change too quickly to be of any long-term use here. | |

I don't see any issues with people coming up with similar responses independently, and I am glad to see that it has been resolved without a need to escalate this further. | |
| Jul 9, 2018 at 13:35 | comment | added | Roux Martin | @thelem My answer is that (as with a ridiculous number of things in UX) OP needs to research and test to find out which solution is best in their case - The show this I outlined the issues and then said "you would need to use research and judgement to decide the best measures for your situation" | |
| Jul 9, 2018 at 13:34 | comment | added | Roux Martin | @Cubic thanks for that - I stand corrected but the point I made is still valid: OP needs to research and test to find out which solution is best in their case | |

| Jul 9, 2018 at 9:38 | comment | added | Cubic | I'm not sure why you think "stay signed in" is worse in terms of security. For things like "stay signed in" all you need is to store a session key, which can easily be invalidated. For things like autofill password you need to store the actual account details client side, which means you make them recoverable on site. Neither of these are a good option for public spaces, but keeping a session around for a short while is slightly less dangerous. | |
