Can it be changed so that it remembers both my userid and password, or just my password? I usually remember who I am!
This is certainly true. Unfortunately, Microsoft has made it so that anyone with a modicum of javascript skills can read *all* your cookies (if you use IE on Windows): http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=00/05/11/173257&mode=nested Now, there may not be hugely deletrious effects resulting from this, but until cookies are handled in a sane manner, it's probably inappropriate for us to be putting the password there. If you're using IE 5 or Mozilla (NS 6) you can always tell it to remember what you've entered into the password field. Thanks, ~ethan fremen @ digicool & imeme
