You know how Internet explorer or Netscape is always asking you if you want it to save your password for you? If you have any interest in keeping your password secure, you probably shouldn’t.
Granted, anybody who uses your computer can just go straight to your webmail or whatever you have your password saved for. But they can also easily retrieve your password and use it from another machine. If you use the same password for all your accounts this could be a serious security issue.
Now to the point. Go to a site where you’ve saved a password — or you can just go anywhere that you might type a password in. Oooh oooh, like right here!
There’s already a value set, but feel free to change it.
Then copy this text into your browser’s address bar (all in one line) and press enter.
Pretty revealing, huh. Just wanted to let you know.
That’s scary Brad. I don’t think I like knowing that.
