I Cannot Sign Out Permanently
This forum has been acting strangely for the past twelve hours or so. At first I was unable to sign in, despite trying repeatedly, and now I cannot stay signed out. Every time I return, I am automatically signed in. This happens in Windows, as well as in Android.
I have not saved my log in details in a password manager in either OS, which makes me think that this is a new "feature". There is nothing in my account preferences either, to disable this behaviour. What is causing this? Any ideas?

The timeout wont work if you "save password' for the site as soon as you click it logs you in.
You could run ccleaner and clear passwords and sessions then disable saviing password in whatever browser you are using.

Default behavior for browsers is to ALWAYS save passwords and sessions that way cortana etc can spy on you.
https://www.ccleaner.com/ccleaner/download/standard
Ccleaner can remove everything including saved passwords, databases, cookies, sessions, etc.
Even with ccleaner the default is to not delete this stuff.
My preferences are to ALWAYS Delete and NEVER Save anything from anyone EVER.

I'm back to normal, after 36 hours! No idea what happened, especially because I didn't do anything, but this message greeted me a couple of minutes ago:
If it was a mod who read my post and fixed the problem, thank you!

I just returned to the forum after another twelve hours away, and I am still signed in. The time out didn't fix the problem.

The thing is that I never save passwords. I always decline when I'm offered that option. As I mentioned above this only started yesterday. At first, I thought that the forum was undergoing maintenance, because I had difficulty getting on. It was only after I did get on eventually, that this logout issue started.
So, there seems to be a connection. It doesn't worry me too much, because this is not a sensitive account. Maybe it's a Chrome thing. I use chromium based browsers on Android, as well as on Windows. The issue is the same on both.
I will look into this further over the holiday.

There are no permanent sign in.
It will timeout and require re sign in.
Both Chrome and firefox will store a session for a short time and auto login.
Chrome Will Automatically Save Passwords Without Google Sync
Primary Password is replacing Master Password. Firefox is removing terminology from the browser that has been identified as derogatory or exclusionary.
Neither of these changes have anything whatsoever to do with Dell.
