Security Tokens/Authenticators are useless; SE needs to fix this immediately.

You should really change the title to

"Security Tokens/Authenticators are useless if someone has FULL access to your computer"

I'm not saying it shouldn't be fixed but security tokens ARE useful -- to those of use who don't have hacked computers (duh!)

The title is fine. Some folks need the bejesus scared out of them, SE included...

Sounds like someone needs to invest in some security software. If your new to computers, or don't have a clue what your doing. I'm sure someone at some point has told you to invest in a Anti Virus. Most ISP's now adays provide them for free.

If your computer is riddled that bad with Virus's You need to not be playing video games and get ur machine fixed. If you don't run an Anti Virus then it's nobodies fault but your own when you loose your bank account / gaming accounts.

It is ALL over the internet. Ignorance is NOT an excuse.

That's kind of like saying 'I always wear my seatbelt and I've never had a car crash therefore seatbelts completely prevent car crashes'. You shouldn't really accuse people of being mentally challenged when you obviously have no actual comprehension of what the issue detailed in this thread is.

Security tokens such as this are not useless, and it is always good practice to exercise safe browsing and PC security. However, anyone with a technical understanding of how these things work can see that there is indeed an issue here. There's no good reason that a session id shouldn't expire after logoout in this sort of context of usage. I would certainly hope that SE address this issue swiftly.

Don't try to reason with it.
