I finally stopped clicking 'remember this device' after a friend got hacked
My buddy in Denver had his entire Google account taken over because he always clicked that checkbox at public computers. After that, I started using a password manager with 2FA and now I log out everywhere, even at home. Has anyone else dropped that habit after seeing it go wrong?

Yeah I started doing the same thing after I helped someone clean up a hack that started exactly like that. Now I just let my password manager autofill everything, never click that checkbox. The extra few seconds to type in a 2FA code is worth not having to explain to your wife why your email sent her weird links at 3am.
