Lightroom / Photoshop Sign in problems

When I open lightroom or photoshop I am now required to login each time (I never had to do this prior to the last update).  The problem that I have is (1) I live in the boonies and my internet is intermediate so if I don't have service, then I cannot login or work in lightroom or photoshop.   (2) Once I'm logged in and if I step away from my computer for 5 mintues both apps will shutdown and I loose any work that I was working on in Photoshop.  

Is there a way to stay logged in without my sessions timing out?
