google problems

Lost all passwords for all sites including this one , Google mucking about with something is my guess. Just got them back by redoing them from my list

Doesn't your browser store your passwords for you?

It's happened to us a few times in the past. No rhyme or reason to how or why it happens.

Re: google problems

Probably a daft question, but why do people store their passwords in a browser?

I'm suspicious of anything online and wouldn't dream of storing my passwords there.

I remember them (mostly)

Admittedly, I don't do online banking or buying stuff online, so don't have a lot of passwords to remember anyway. But if I did, I think I would write them down in a book or something.

Re: google problems

Don't rely on any puter/cloud etc to store passwords etc .. write on paper and that way no chancy hacker could gain your info.
