Longer Mitto Sessions on Private Computers

Most of our users start out their day by firing up their Mitto account, then logging into their various personal and professional web apps. As they continue through their routine they’ll come across the need  to log in to another of their web-based services using a Mitto Browser Extension or the Bookmarklet, but uh-oh –  they logged into Mitto an hour earlier, and now they have to re-login because their session has expired.

Well, not anymore! If you’ve logged into Mitto on a private computer, you can now adjust the amount of time your Mitto session will stay open before it expires. This means that if you at home or at work on your workstation, your Mitto session can stay open for as long as 6 hours without activity! This helps you stay productive.

All you need to do is login to your Mitto account, and access your account settings, by clicking “My Account” from the top menu. On the My Account Settings page, you’ll find the setting under Settings > Timeout for Private Sessions.

Mitto has always provided different lengths of time for user sessions depending on whether they were logged into a public or private computer. Sessions on public computers are much shorter, just 20 min. with the logic that you don’t want your Mitto account accessible to people on a public computer in case you walk away on forget to logout. Now you can customize your private sessions expiration time according to your security and productivity needs.
