Is it safe not to logout from website accounts? I am using my own computer and my own ISP. So is it OK if I don't logout from my email, fb, PTC sites, mylot, etc? Given that I am the only one who accesses my computer.

I didn't log out either, but I don't know if that is safe or not. According to many people's advice, that is definitely not safe. I have my browser remember my password and user name all the time. But because my computer is solely used on my own, so I just leave it that way.

Let me give you some advise sweetie. LOG OUT!! I use my own pc with isp and i got a very nasty surprise about 3 weeks ago. Never leave anything open, not even your email. TATA.

It isn't safe to leave your account logged on. There may be some circumstances when you may need to hand over your computer to someone else to operate. Some times even it may get some fault and for making it good you may need to call up some operators to fix it. So in those cases it is not advisable. If it is a shared computer then you are at the risk of losing your data and other stuff if you keep your account logged in and keep your password remembered

I do not think it is appropriate to your accounts, because leaving open all of your sites, for more than you're the only one who uses this computer, if it costs nothing to close the session as when you retire or finish your work there. But prevention is better than cure, it would be like saying more or less left the door of my house without a key, nothing happens total ...
