Is it possible to set an automatic timeout on Facebook? - Dubious - 11-09-2012 07:38 PM
Like after 5 minutes of inactivity, Facebook logs you out?
Does this function even exist?
Is it does, how do I set it?
Because it helps increase security of my account.
I've never left my Facebook logged in and unattended, but I'm just thinking in the future it might happen, and someone might decide to play with my account. I've seen it happen to other people!

Automatic log out after x minutes of inactivity feature setting is rarely exist IMO.
Indeed, there is a session timeout for 15 - 20 minutes of inactivity for several websites that makes you log out. But I doubt Facebook has x minutes session timeout for inactivity.
If you check the check box "Remember Me" or "Keep Me Log On" when you login, then you keep log on even if you close your browser, until you log out manually.
The best practice is, get used to log out when you want to leave your computer, especially if the computer is for public use.
Hope that helps.
