Does this bother anyone else about IE's autocomplete?

Post by TruckStuff »

Has anyone else noticed that the autocomplete feature in Internet Explorer also keeps your credit card numbers laying around? In other words, all I have to do is hit the first digit of my CC number and the whole thing pops up. Anyone else see that as a problem??

I dont know if it is a real security risk or not but the first time I saw it do that I turned auto complete off and that is the way it has been every since then.

It's only a problem if others use your computer and you don't want them to know your info, like credit card info, passwords, etc..

It usually gives you the option to remember the info or not, but sometimes it doesn't. I like it and use it a lot, but then very few use my computer and any who do don't have a clue what to do with it.
