How do I make the default not checked for 2 wk login on email. This is a security hazard!?

In this age of multiple online security threats, few things are more annoying and stupid then to have the default be to stay logged in. All I have to do is forget to uncheck the box once and my email is compromised. I don't even get why this option exists, no less be the default.|||You can change that default, ya know.





At the top of the mail page---rest your mouse on your "Hi Name"---and click "Account info".


Scroll down to "sign in settings" and click that link.


Then click the down arrow by "2 weeks" and select "one day" (the only other choice).


Then "save changes" or click "finished".





You can also just override that default setting (of 2 weeks), by clicking "sign out" everytime you leave the mail page.
