If you have entered a lot of login credentials on a website, no matter what browser you are using, be it Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox, the browser prompts you to save the passwords so that you do not have to type it the next time. If you have responded to this prompt and saved your passwords, the browser will automatically fill in your user name as well as your password, the next time you login to that website again. The password and username will be stored at the browser’s saved passwords database.

However, don’t you think that this can be a security problem? Well, any smart person would guess so. If anyone is using your home PC and makes a login to the website, he/she will also be signed in with your username and password and gain access to your accounts. In this case, it will be advisable to clear the earlier saved passwords. Just follow some simple instructions or contact an online technical support for immediate assistance.
