Autofill

[Dudley]

Is it safe to use Autofill and 'memorise this password' facilities? Wouldn't that make it easy for someone who stole your computer to access your financial accounts?

Yep, i think so, I never use them facilities. I think theyre stupid to be honest, especially with so many households having shared computers

Depends on what Operating System (and whether you are running on user accounts) - but as Mercury says - don't

I use Password Safe to store my passwords:
http://passwordsafe.sourceforge.net/

I keep it on a flash memory drive, but you can happily run it from your computer. It stores all your website logins and any other passwords, and encrypts them with the Blowfish 448-bit algorithm. This makes it very safe, providing the password you use is strong enough. Basically you enter one password to get access to all your other passwords. Then you can have it automatically fill the username and password in for you on websites.

It also has a good random password generator.

What happens if you forget the one password that you need to recover the rest of them ?
