Something in the manual

Post by Theon »

This is in the manual, regarding the remember password option. I was curious as to how unsafe it actually is, the manual makes it sound serious.

By unsafe does it mean that if someone else gets onto your computer they can find out the password? Or that it's automatically copied to the desktop background of the closest known hacker? Maybe it just means that anyone else can just logon as you if you use a random public computer. Just wondering, as I use the option.

I think this' ok in this board.

Meaning that someone else on my computer could view it?
