When you log out of a web app, should ALL your session be logged

  • 0

  1. When you log out of a web app, should ALL your session be logged out? When I log out of the web app from the public library, should it also log me out of the session I have on my home computer?

  2. When you choose “remember me” or “stay signed in” when logging in (to extend your session beyond the time your browser is open), does this get continuously updated each time you access the site? If it’s originally set for 30 days, does that 30 days get extended when you access the site two weeks later?

I know there are no definite answers here; I’m just looking for some good considerations and expectations.

    When you log out of a web app, should
    ALL your session be logged out?

    Generally, if the requirement is that a person be logged on to only one location at a time, it will log off the first computer when the account is accessed from the second computer.
    If the site allows a person to be logged on at multiple computers, only the computer that is logged off gets logged off, not the others.

    When you choose “remember me” or “stay
    signed in” when logging in (to extend
    your session beyond the time your
    browser is open), does this get
    continuously updated each time you
    access the site? If it’s originally set for 30 days,
    does that 30 days get extended when
    you log on two weeks later?

    Yes, your 30 days starts over when you access the site again. This is how Yahoo Mail and several other well-known sites work.
