Stop Web Browsers Asking to Save Passwords
Most if not all web browsers prompt you to save usernames and passwords for sites you have visited on the Internet.
Earlier I wrote an article based on the reasons why you should not save usernames and passwords with your browser. This article explain how easy it is for anyone to have access to your stored username and passwords.
This feature can be useful, but can also put your bank account and personal information at risk if you are not careful. I wrote instructions to disable password saving on different type browsers keep scrolling down till you find yours.
