Microsoft Outlook requires that you type your password into a password box each time you access your email. This is great for security purposes, but if you're the only one who uses your computer, it's completely safe to store your password in Outlook.
Instructions in this article apply to Outlook 2019, Outlook 2016, Outlook 2013, Outlook 2010, and Outlook for Office 365.
How to Make Outlook Remember Your Email Password
When you make Outlook remember your password, you can receive and send mail without typing your password each time you open Outlook. Plus, you can make a complex password that you don't need to remember or constantly retrieve from your password manager.
Outlook Keeps Asking for the Password
If Outlook asks you to enter your password every time you check mail even though you set Outlook to not prompt for your login credentials, it could be happening for several reasons.
The most likely situation is that you changed your password for the email account but didn't update the password in Outlook. Follow the steps above to go to the Account Settings dialog box that lists your email address and password, then change the password to the updated one so that Outlook stops asking you for it.
If Outlook continues to ask for your password, temporarily disable your antivirus (AV) program or boot into Safe Mode if you're in Windows. The antivirus program could be interfering with Outlook if it uses an add-in or firewall. If Outlook checks for and sends mail without asking for a password after doing one of these two things, reinstall the AV program.
If the AV software isn't to blame, or if you still suspect that it is, start Outlook in safe mode to disable add-ins. If the password works after doing this, there's a problem with one of the add-ins and you need to disable it, delete it, or troubleshoot how to fix it.
For situations in which Outlook still doesn't remember the password, either delete the email profile and make a new one or remove the program and install it again. There might be an error in the profile, in which case building a new one will fix the problem.
It's also possible that there are incorrect settings in the Windows Registry for the Protected Storage System Provider. To see if this is the problem, follow Microsoft's directions to delete the HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftProtected Storage System Providerkey.
If I am logged into Gmail and I quit my browser, then reopen it, I expect to find that I am no longer logged in. This is the way it used to behave.
Now unless I explicitly log out, it brings me right back to my inbox.
I have not checked 'stay signed in' at the Gmail login screen, and I've set Firefox to delete all cookies when I close the browser. What else do I need to do?
I'd accept a browser-based solution for this, but I'd really prefer an account setting in Gmail so that it applies to all machines and browsers that I may use.
I think this problem could be described as 'how can I ensure that session cookies are deleted when the browser is closed'. That would fit with the original idea of session cookies: they are for a single session.

Aha! As this blog post documents (inspired by this podcast):
It appears that for a while now, both Firefox and Chrome have, for the convenience of their users, restored session cookies between browser shut down and restart. This is convenient, but insecure. Only persistent cookies should restore in this way. A common example of the usage of persistent cookies is when you check “keep me logged in” or “remember me” when logging into a site.
Neither Mozilla nor Google seem inclined to revert to the correct secure behavior that IE has kept.
A case where IE is right! Egads, where are my heart pills!?
Here's how he shows to fix it.

Browse to about:config, enter ‘sessionstore’ in the search box, and change browser.sessionstore.privacy_level from 0 to 2.
Chrome
Windows 10 boot time defrag download.
For latest chrome version > 33. you need to open chrome://settings/content and select 'Keep local data only until you quit your browser' also in chrome://settings make sure option Continue running background apps when Google Chrome is closed is unchecked otherwise chrome will keep running in background and will not delete cookies

Do you maybe have GMail pinned as 'App Tab'? At least in Firefox, pinned App Tabs do not obey any automatically remove private data settings. Firefox remembers the current state of the tab and restores it when you open up the browser again.
Maybe you simply unpin GMail and set it as 'hompage'?

It's simple for latest Firefox versions. Go to Firefox preferences and go to the history section where it says 'Firefox will:'. Default option for this might be 'remember history'. Change 'remember history' to 'Use custom settings for history'. Then click on Exceptions button near to the 'Use custom settings for history' option and you'll see a window(look the screenshot attached) that asks you to enter the url of the website to auto delete cookies from a website. Enter the url as
accounts.google.com .
After you do these steps you would be automatically signed out of gmail when you close Firefox. Please note that you have to manually type the gmail user name each time you reopen Firefox browser.
