Hey Jason yeah that is what I was trying to say. Login screens are so second nature to people: username, password, login... that I wonder if that extra check in between would throw them off.
I agree that the auto check does come off slimy at times, but I think I get more annoyed when I have to login to a site again vs. seeing that they already checked a box for me. Either way you have a solid argument. I'd really like to see someone do some A/B testing on this. Oh, and thanks for the response.
