Submission + - Ask Slashdot: Remain Logged Into Bank Account After Reboot?
chasm22 writes: I bank with a large banking firm (think of 'a police _____ ensued after the robbery') that offers the usual mobile banking options of using their app or using a browser to perform your banking chores. I choose to use Chrome on my android phone.
Today I went into my account to check the balance and then turned the phone off. Within a few seconds, I decided to go back online to pay a few bills, which I do using my banks application. Upon rebooting, I opened Chrome which reopens the last tabs you had opened. I was surprised to see that I had remained logged into my account. I not only returned to my account page showing my balance, but I then went to the page that retains my monthly payments accounts. In other words, I had remained logged into the account even though the phone was completely shut down for at least 20 to 30 seconds. My question is simply this; Is this normal or should I have had to log on again?
