The amount of people that leave things like youtube logged in on hotel room tv's is also moderately staggering.

Probably because most the TVs are designed to auto logout after check out. So when you run into one that isn't it's weird.
Interesting. I've actually never heard of them automatically logging out. That's partly why I am hesitant to log in in the first place.
Most of the TVs that have apps like these in hotels specifically state on the login page that upon check out their system will automatically wipe your logins. At least in the several that I've used that have specific tight end apps like these. There are of course those cheap hotels that just have the Smart TVs in the rooms that you're free to log in as you wish as long as you remember to log out. Usually in those cases I won't log in at all or I may choose to log into like say Netflix if my kids are there and then are just remembered to log out. Of course I stay in a lot of hotels during the year as well. Think this year I'm already something like 20 or 25 nights in a hotel.
Does it really matter to anyone other than the streaming companies?
If the next guy at the hotel watches my HBO why would I care?
Worst case scenario I lose my spot in a show.
And lose your account and your google account if it's youtube like the commenter said
And your account.
Tv and app creators I feel like are also a bit responsible for this by not making it easy to do timed logouts when you log into a device for the first time. Unless you have a mental or physical checklist going its not a high priority

A few days ago I though 2FA didn't worked for lemmy but I just didn't have timezone or something and that's why I couldn't login.
Goated sounds disgusting.
2FA won’t help if you leave a session running on a public device
To be fair, we are in a specific community...
That's the comment I was looking for.
This is peak timothy behavior. You know he went home to absolutely destroy his younger sibling in halo
2fa wouldn't change anything and sms is an insecure system to begin with.

Two factor would not help here. One needs to remember to log out of public devices before leaving them.

Ok, you've hacked me.
