Default Permanently uncheck Keep me signed in on Yahoo

Is there any way to keep the "Keep me signed in" box permanently unchecked ?

It is so irritating. :-)

Vielen Dank,

Andy

Basically, No.
I contacted Yahoo about this several years ago and their response was to uncheck
then save the url. It works most of the time _IF_ you keep their cookies, which I don't.
On my machines I don't worry since my doings are erased after each session.
When traveling and using a lobby machine it is a problem.
I've accidentally logged on to other peoples accounts at hotels on several occasions.
Could have done a lot of damage had I wanted to.
The same for all the rest of them... Google, etc.

Thanks.

Yahoo is inconsiderate.

Yahoo is mostly crap. I only use it for temporary throw-away email addresses and never for any
sensitive uses such as email linked to online banking or shopping, etc.

I've had 3 Yahoo email accounts hacked and Yahoo doesn't bother to announce the fact (too ashamed)
or warn its users. Then I get spam, typically from China.
