    Not a good idea apparently

    Is your browser’s built-in login manager leaking your username (and possibly your password too)?


    I do but must now give some serious thought to other options.

    As it happens I deliberately don't have anything to do with auto filling as a rule, though recently I wondered if it would actually be less risky than re-entering usernames and passwords each time, which could be picked up by key loggers.

    Thanks for posting that link.

    I shall continue to be vigilant and paranoid!

      I do mostly. But deliberately not all. It cuts down the number I have to remember.
      It isn't given us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal. A moment too late and we can never reach them any more in this world.
