Microsoft "stay signed in?" screen is the most useless thing ever programmed by man
At work I see that screen at least 5 times a day.
I honestly don't understand the point of it. At every single job I have or have had, it doesn't seem to do anything and I still have to sign in multiple times a day.
+1. I'm very confused and don't understand what it's supposed to do.
At my work, we were told that the cyber security people don't want us to say logged in, so they just ignore it if you say yes. Why it bothers to ask at all in that case, I do not know
There’s also a ”don’t ask again” checkbox, which is mostly there for aesthetic purposes I think.
I wish I could just turn it off because clearly it doesn’t respect my choice.
In a work environment I can only assume they just leave that box in the flow but the actual session duration limit is set by your IT policy.
What annoys me endlessly that i have to interact with the system so much to log in multiple times for various platforms:
People are saying passkeys are not a good solution, but I would take those immediately over this nonsense
“Programmed by man”? But didnt they say Microsoft was 30% AI code or something like that.
This was programmed long before AI coding was a thing.
