I’m logged in to my forum all the time, whether it be on my phone or tablet (via Discourse app) or the browser on my Mac. I’d feel better knowing if someone walked off with one of my devices that my forum wouldn’t be on my ‘panic list’.

Discourse would not be the first platform to implement such a security feature.

Maybe I’m overly paranoid.
