Description

I logged into keybase perhaps a week or so ago in my browser. When I returned to keybase.io I was still logged in?! This is not good, someone needs to make it timeout within an hour or less.

Maybe it's just me though, so can someone else please verify this?

Research direction

Start by reproducing the reported session behavior on keybase.io and identify where the website's login session is controlled. Verify the timeout requirement across a returning browser session, and consider the work done when sessions expire within an hour or less with regression coverage.
