The save my password feature is done automatically and most of the time I forget about it when I'm over a friends house so it's understandable if it does happen but yeah if it's on a public computer you're going to want to be more cautious.
 
I've noticed that every public terminal I've used, they had "Save Forms & Passwords without asking" on.

I don't think it's malicious in nature but just to keep the "nagging" prompt out of people's hair. They just just turn form and password keeping off though. I always check if I have to use one and turn it off myself.

That's not true. There are some people here that aren't nerds, like Cubsfan.

Actually nm...

Logging in as them is wrong.

Now, if they left their account logged in and then left, that's a license to have some fun for as long as you can. :p
