Comment on It Happened again just logged in and it was under anothers username. I am sure I can't be the only one this has been happening to. Is this not a big security risk?

  Mine is just in my bookmarks I click it and since it saves the password it auto logs me in.

    I’m totally guilty of this myself, but saving passwords in your browser is risky. Browsers can be tricked into, for example, populating your credentials into hidden fields, thus exposing your creds to whoever’s on the other end wanting that data.

    I’m certainly not going to stop doing it myself, so I’m just recommending that all your passwords at least be unique for each account. I use a password manager to store them all, that way I only need to remember one master password for all my accounts.
