They do it for the sake of saftey. So if I sign in with a phone instead of my computer then I would have the same effect. And if I signed in with a school chromebook then I would be signed out from my account. And vise versa.
They do this in order to prevent hacking. So people won't know about your scratch account and do weird things in it.

Probably for security. I use scratch on my phone and laptop, they stay signed in.

Ask yourself, if you were hacked and lost hours, upon hours of work, would you regret not having a strong password that only takes 5 minutes to make?

Is it time to update your password? Here are some tips to make a strong password:

Length: The longer the password, the stronger it is. A password that is at least 12 characters long.
Complexity: Combination of upper and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols to make it harder to crack.
Uniqueness: Don't use easily guessable information like your name, address, or date of birth. Also, avoid using the same password for multiple accounts.
Passphrases: A phrase made up of random words, numbers, and symbols, as these can be easier to remember but still secure.
Randomness: Use a random password generator to create a unique and unpredictable password.
Regular updates: Regularly change your passwords to stay ahead of potential security threats.

Remember, the goal is to create a password that is strong, unique, and difficult for others to guess.

I would estimate more than 40% of scratchers have passwords that are hard to guess by a human, but easy to guess by a computer. You never know if today would be the day you lose everything.

Even if just one person was saved from losing hours and hours of work, my mission is accomplished.

People that also own the public computer can acces your scratch account and make a prank with it. So when you usually sign back in to your personal computer the other owner of the public computer cannot access your account.
