I don't think _many_ web sites do this.

I travel quite a lot, and sometimes connect without a VPN. Last time I login to Google was from Sri Lanka, and now I'm in Georgia, having g traveled everywhere in Europe and South East Asia (so not the same /24), but I never had to log in again.

The same goes for Facebook, GitHub, HN, Reddit, Yahoo, and Hotmail. These are enough to ruin someones life I guess.

I love how Github's access system works. Everytime I want to delete something, add SSH/GPG keys, etc, they prompt the passwords again.
