Tip: Want to skip the login screen?
The previous blog topic in this slot was too confusing so it’s being replaced with the following one about an upcoming and related feature. I didn’t want to lose the ongoing discussions under this entry, hence why it’s being replace rather than removed entirely (blog software deletes all comments if an entry is removed).
Want an even easier way to avoid entering in your password every time you want to read you emails?
Don’t want to enter in your screen name and password each time you want to read your emails on your computer?
There’s an upcoming new feature that we’re internally calling “keep me signed in.” It does what it sounds like. If you choose to turn on that feature, it’ll keep you signed into your account until you manually click the Sign Out link. This will be a very handy feature because you can skip a few steps in the login process. With this feature, you’ll be able to go straight to http://mail.aol.com (use a book mark for single-click access)and you won't be prompted for a password. You decide whether this is desired for your situation--for some people (like me), speed and convenienceis king since mail security isn't a worry for me on my personal computer.
Whenever you’re done with reading your emails, don’t click the Sign Out link because if you do, then you’ll have to enter in your password again the next time. Instead, just exit or close the browser normally. Note: Clicking the Sign Out link or deleting the browser cookies will require you to enter in your screen name and password again the next time--handy for when you're on a public computer.
This feature will be coming out next month along with even more features that many of you have been asking for. So stay tuned for more details. Enjoy and thanks for choosing AOL!
