Well, I've always thought those silly "remember all passwords I type"
functions were completely stupid, anyway... I never use them... Yes,
Moz does have such a thing, but I certainly don't use it, and I wouldn't
recommend anyone use it... BUT, I thought it at least encrypted the saved
passwords, and required some master password to unlock them? Maybe not...
Like I say, I don't use it... If they just leave it lying around in
plain-text, then it's a very broken design, in the first place, I'd say...
You can't really help people if they TRY to shoot themselves in the foot
by using broken-by-design security-compromising features, just to save
themselves a little typing every now and then... Such people probably
would never even bother going through the trouble of setting up such a
separate user system for added security in the first place, since they're
obviously not too concerned with security, it seems... But, I'd think
there really SHOULDN'T be any need for a web browser to ever access any
sensitive info on your hard drive...
