   URGENT: passwords
  Hi,I appeared(?) to have the ''login'' icon (top-right, I was ''logged-out''), but, when editing a post, my password was still automatically viewable.R   
  I am using a network I am not used to using though.R ;  The password gets filled in from your cookie, and the logout/login buttons will not modify your cookie at all. If you''re on a public terminal, you should leave the "Store my login information on my PC (via a cookie)." box unchecked. ;  I realise the auto-password-fillin is browser ''session'' based, but could you clarify what defines a ''session''? Is a ''broswer session'' ended when all broswer windows are closed (i.e. if the computer is restarted)?I realise the password is not stored in the cookie.My browser (IE6.?) was having difficulty, and was producing error messages.R   ;quote:Original post by reaction  I realise the password is not stored in the cookie.Oh yes they are.quote:My browser (IE6.?) was having difficulty, and was producing error messages.Try Firebird with the Live HTTP Headers extension and you could easily see your password among the request headers, as well as solving the "difficulties" you''re having. ;  Get off CWizard... you have been sniping me for months.I am not going to download, what, 20MB of application because you say something.Post an image, go on, I dare you.R ;quote:Original post by reaction  Get off CWizard... you have been sniping me for months.What? I corrected your assumption that the password isn''t stored in the cookie; it is. Then you said that you IE had some problem, and I suggested trying another browser, which was connected to the previous statement as you can easily do that sort of investigations with Firebird.quote:I am not going to download, what, 20MB of application because you say something.20 MB takes me about 30 secs to download, I do not know what sort of connection you have.Take it easy, I am not "snipping" you. ;quote:I corrected your assumption that the password isn''t stored in the cookie; it is.Liar.R   ;quote:Original post by reaction  quote:I corrected your assumption that the password isn''t stored in the cookie; it is.Liar.Here the request headers for your topic:GET /community/forums/topic.asp?topic_id=205313 HTTP/1.1Host: www.gamedev.netUser-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20031007 Firebird/0.7Accept: ...snip...
