Do you think the MS IE¡¯s AutoComplete feature is security? (All)

[MojoBook]

As we known, MS Internet Explorer has a special feature called ¡°AutoComplete¡±, it can remember certain details entered on web forms, such as username and password. Let¡¯s talk about how to do this feature first.

Title: How to Remember Names & Passwords in IE (AutoComplete)

Go to the Tools menu on IE and select Internet Options.

A window will open like the one below. Click the Content tab, then click the AutoComplete button.
In the AutoComplete Settings window, check (or uncheck) the options you would like to use.

Although this feature will help you saving a lot of time on surfing the Internet, here we talk about the security. Do you think it is security? At this time, I¡¯ll say no, because some unauthorized users can also login any forms with these information you saved on your computer. So my opinion is that you should uncheck the AutoComplete feature or use some third-party tools, such as JJSoft IntelliLogin, IE Login, and Smart Login etc.

You can find these tools on:

If you are allowing unauthorized users to logon to your computer -- using your username -- you have no right to worry about security.

It's possible, let your pals temporary use the computer you don't want to logoff.

And then your pal can delete all your files.

If I let anyone else use my computer, I set them up with their own limited account. IExplore auto-completes are part of your profile, so a different logon name will not use them.

i have to agree with BRF on this one, if you are worried about security, you shouldn't allow users to use your account! i use roboform, simply because it is more advanced than IE's built in features, but if i let any user just sit at my desk and use my computer then i am not too worried about security am i? he could delete my files, export my contacts, view my cached pages, myabe sniff some passwords, etc...

Fact is security has nothing to do with it, it is very secure, but is it enough?
