Your choice really.

If your browser does not save cookies or name/passwords then it may be a little more work.

Otherwise, let's say the forums were without passwords. Imagine that chaos.

As it was said, if your computer doesn't have cookies or name/passwords you'll have to it each time you want to log in onto a forum or whatever.

turn 3rd party cookies on, do the login, and then turn it off again if wanted. That will set the proper cookie to keep you logged in every time you return.
