   "avoid staying signed in" meant you had already logged in. That's why I   
   suggest logging out properly. :)   
      
   Of course, it's better to NEVER EVER SIGN IN in public   
   networks/computers including free wifi.   
      
   But nowdays HTTPS is widely used, it is quite secured for surfing   
   websites with login but unrelated to money.
