    If you remember Windows Phone 8, it has already been tried and nobody (ahem, no company) wanted that. No company is stupid enough to give up their content and infra and get none of…

    You have to manually start the change, it doesn't do it continuously. For the vast majority of services, even if this action fails and the wrong password is saved (!?) you're still…

    I'm so addicted I'd find a way around. It's incredible how many times I type x[enter] in my browser even if I'm met with a login screen. Being logged out stops me from mindlessly s…
