I am sorry but the incidences of account hijacking from persistant logins is going to be FAR greater than incidences from phishing.

How you can actually write something like "So long as you are logged into the website on someone's else computer, they will be able to gain access to your account" and then continue on with the idea /at all/ is astonishing.

Log into web site and launch SL? That's fine by itself. "There" worked that way and it was ok, not as good from a pure usability standpoint but ok..., but it it /cannot/ be persistant. We are talking about real money theft here. This is a lowering of security not an increase in it. And I know that other people do it and there is a "remember password" checkbox on the viewer but that doesn't excuse this. If increasing security is actually the goal, persistant logins anywhere are an about face to it.
