all you have to do is read or preview that email and all your saved logins on your PC (session tokens - think along the lines of cookies) are then shared with the bad actors. Voila, they have access to all your accounts.

I understand the convenience of it but why anyone would allow their computer to store any log-in and password information is beyond me. It seems to risky to me. I turn off all of that type of functionality on my computer that I know how. I have to manually log in to everything every time but that's OK. I admit that I don't know enough to know if it is actually safer or if it just makes me feel safer.

One thing that I don't like about phones is the apps on them for which there is no way to sign out. They are always logged in. Sure you can put a password/pin on the phone but I should be able to log out of my account when using an app if I want to.
