Not only can other users who have access to your computer log in to your accounts and see your actual passwords or credit card details, but so can a thief if your computer, smartphone, or tablet gets lost or stolen. The biggest problem with having your browser save your passwords involves prying eyes.
Here are the main vulnerabilities in some of the most popular browsers-Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, and Mozilla Firefox-and ways you can protect against those weak spots. How much of a risk depends on which browser you’re using, whether you sync with other devices, and whether you’re using any of the browser’s extra security features. Having your Web browser remember your passwords and/or credit card details can be convenient, but it poses some security risks.
