As a cookie in your browsers cookie cache.

You do not need to "Log In" next time, unless you have deleted saved cookies.

yep delete the cookies....... also look for a password manager somewhere in the control panel internet options or in IE itself

ya delete the cookies from your friends computer. Also do this:

Open IE (no need to connect to the internet)

Click on Tools ---> Internet Options --> Delete Cookies.

Click on Tools ---> Internet Options --> go to CONTENT tab

Now click on AUTOCOMPLETE button and then on --> CLEAR FORMS and also click on CLEAR PASSWORDS button.

This will solve your problem.

And remember to always do this when you use CYBER CAFE or your FRIENDS Computer.

YES this is possible if he is a hacker! hi hi hi

You should always disable this feature of IE, since many Spyware programs are also capable of mailing this cookies and there info to there servers, which will reach unwanted peoples hands.

If you know HTML and other such languages and scripts you can easily see the password in it. Though Microsoft says that passwords in IE are stored in encrypted form but still don't rely on what Microsoft say. Your Windows PC itself is a big spyware !!! hi hi hi
