Jon K, I'm puzzled -- Please read carefully my original comment. This is an ongoing security flaw caused by PayPal.  There are multiple comments and concerns from many customer. To further clarify -- PayPan is the one who enable the Auto Login -- and this is NOT a one time event.  It seems to happen when I buy soemthing using PayPal -- I then recieve an email from PayPal with the title "Stay logged in on this trusted device", and the text of the email says: "Since we recognize this device, you’ll continue to stay logged in, so you can skip typing your password during certain activities such as check out."   ..and Auto Loging is enabled -- I have to go and disable it. and it happens again and again. To clarify again this is NOT a one time event, and PayPal keep to it again and again. Jon, please check the forum and other sources, this complain comes from many people.   Overall, the problem is so "simple" -- PayPal must STOP disabling the Auto Login. It seems that everytime the issue is raised -- PayPal people either don't understand the issue, or just ignoring it. Can somebody from the development group review this issue and FIX it! Thanks, Reuven ... View more

This issue was asked before and never fixed, or officially responded by PayPal. While ago I tried to report is to PayPal via chat, and the agent had no idea what I was talking about. So is so ODD, it is clearly a Security Flow -- The AUTO LOGIN should NEVER be enabled automatically, unless I want it.   To be clear, I do disable Auto Login, then for some reason I get an email from paypal telling me "Stay logged in on this trusted device", and Auto Loging is enabled -- I disable it, and at some poing PayPal decides to enable it again -- and the cycle continues.   Can somebody, offically, at PayPal, recognioze the problem, and FIX it? Thanks. ... View more

I have the same issue.  I disable the auto login, but next time I make a transaction with PayPal it (PayPal) enables it and I get this email. Tried multiple times to chat, but seems they didn't fully understand what I'm talking about.  Eventually I spoke with somebody, who assured me that he disabled it -- But I keep experiencing same problem.   This is such a major security issue -- I don't understand why PayPal even does it -- AND without permission.  ...
