What does "Stay Logged In" button do?

[BigBlueHen53]

When I log in, there is a box I can check or uncheck before I log in, saying "STAY logged in." It's always clicked on. How can I stay logged in if I'm not logged in yet? Should I leave it like that? Why is that an option, what does it do? Thanks for somebody 'splainin' it to me. (I don't know why I keep saying that, other than it's cute, I was never an I Love Lucy fan!)

You must have your browser setting to clear all of your history/log in type things each time you close it if you are clicking on that box yet still having to log in when you open your browser.

Oh. Hmmm. I think I WANT to log in each time, don't I? Do most of you stay logged in all the time?

I never log out but I use the app, mostly.

Thank you, @Texas Kiki. I cleaned my cache. And I think I changed that setting. We'll see how that works!

I usually stay logged in 24/7.

I'd say it depends on your own habits. My brower is set to clear history and cookies every time I close it, so on some days I log in multiple times a day.

I just stay logged in all the time so I don't have to keep logging in every time I come here. I use a browser. All it does is set a cookie. You don't have to delete your cache, only the cookies.

I usually stay logged in, but I have to log back in every once in a while, since I use the two step verification.

All sites that I go to I'm always logged in. I never log out unless of course I clean browser, cache etc. I do this when pc is running slow. Some sites run slow if you don't clear history and cache. I usually delete everything and start by signing back into sites I go to.
