I note that Firefox fills both in on the banking site, and fills in the password on the medical site after I provide the user name. I have notified the banking site this security flaw. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1Go to Bank One login page. 2. 3. Actual Results: User name and password are filled in. Expected Results: Leave user name and password field blank on a restricted secure web sites even if user clicked "Yes" to save the information.
-> invalid This is no security flaw. The bank can decide that the password should not be saved if they use autocomplete="off" for their forms. Both URLS don't use autocomplete="off". It must be a bug in your old browsers if they don't remember those passwords.
