It's become a real bugbear this. Someone makes the great point below that using Bridge and Thunderbird defeats the rigmarole of 2FA etc each time Firefox closes. Really needs to be looked at. Register a machine MAC as trusted or something. Come on!

wholeheartedly agreed! i've always remembered to uncheck it so far, and try to make a habit of manually logging out, but it's always troubling when i start having to take new precautions to maintain my privacy on a privacy-focused service.

This feature at the moment is on by default, each time you go to ProtonMail website.
It should not be on as default unless the user chooses it.
At the moment, I have a problem, I don't want to stay signed in, but each time I must tick it off on the sign in page, however sometimes I forget, and I am getting loads of sessions left open which I don't want.

This issue seems to have been ignored by the devs with the lazy excuse of "safety feature" for years now. I genuinely do not understand why as it cannot possibly be that hard to implement compared to the rest of the ProtonMail infrastructure.

Add a "REMEMBER ME" or "REMAIN SIGNED IN" checkbox to the log in page, so that users are not required to sign in every time they need to check email - several times daily, for some of us.

Edit:
It seems the beta site does remember the browser! Try it there: https://beta.protonmail.com/u/0/inbox

Initial comment:
I agree, this is a bit weird. And inconvenient.
On the other hand, if you have a paid plan and the Thunderbird bridge (only available with a paid plan), you never have to put in your password or 2FA code ever again. This isn't very consistent.

Every time I pull up ProtonMail on my desktop I have to log in with my UID / PWD. Please... is there a way to stay logged just like on the iPhone app?

Agree! have a checkbox "remember log" that's unchecked by default, and if users trust their device they can check it. Poor user experience currently with the login.

I second this. Being required to grab my phone every time I want to look at my email is frustrating. I'm considering turning off 2fa because this design is such a hassle. I would much prefer that ProtonMail offered an option to trust your browser, in which case it would not require a password and 2fa (or at least not 2fa).

as above. It would save a lot of time if our address and passcode could stay signed in

I vote for him
btw you can add lets say a pin for extra step for security if you add remembering browser or devices
its really hard when you enter your password and even the 2fa code plz add this option

Add option to remember login in desktop browser if user wishes to do so. While I know ProtonMail is all about security, the fact I need to enter login info and use authentication app on EVERY bloody glance at ProtonMail is incredibly frustrating even though at home, only one using the computer is me. All other services remember it, but not ProtonMail. It's really annoying.

on the web app login page

I would prefer this option with a time period, for example remember for 30 days.

We need something as simple as a ''remember this computer'' checkbox for the two factor pass code authentication.

Thank you

Entering two passwords can be really annoying when we have to connect often.

it already exist on android cell-phone – which is not a trusted device as it can easily be lost, stolen, etc – where we have to log-off each time. But why can't I do it on my personal computer ? Strange logic.
