Ancestry and FindMyPast do not ask for 2 factor authentication for normal searching and family tree use.

I have found that I am continually having to log back into familysearch, ancestry, FindMyPast and even rootschat has its moments

I also liked to stay logged in on FindMyPast as it is easier for me rather than having to keep signing in. I wonder if these websites tightening of security are for our benefit or for theirs, so they do not get as many complaints to have to deal with.

It may add a few seconds' work, but I try to log out of anything at the end of every session.  It has always been good practice, and I like to believe it makes hacking a little harder.  I may be wrong, of course - maybe a nerd or geek might comment ?  ;D
