What if one leaves the login in place all the time and never signs off? I’ve noticed this site will leave it open even if I turn off my computer. Kinda weird.

That's because you have a cookie or a certificate that allows accessing the site even after a reboot. A simple alteration of that cookie or cert, to expire (say every 30 days) would prevent that vulnerability.
