Scott Fredrickson (ID: 000000976ae91a3a) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 11/23/2021 I don't usually add to the review list, but I use this simple extension to keep a logged-in account alive and avoid annoying automatic logouts--and today 2-factor authentification was added. VERY valuable timesaver. I would like to see longer intervals, perhaps 30 min and 1 hour--but in the bigger scheme of things 10 minutes works just fine. Thank you, 'idof'.
