That's very wise. Once you've close the incognito window all of the data will be removed except the bookmarks or downloaded files. Or you can do clearing cache whenever you're going to log out on the computer.

If you clear cache you will erase all data from last clearing, not only related to your online browsing. With that move you can delete somebody important thing. Incognito mode is better choice for me.

Right now, I'm mostly active in online games and I saved my login details in the browser. What I didn't said is my personal account details in Facebook and Paypal or Gmail.

But if somebody stole your phone and unlock it, it will have access to everything.

I never save password in browser. I just type my password every time I login. Even though it's a hassle to login again and again, it's safer.

Saving your passwords in a browser is a very poor cyber security practice. Might as well leave the key in your house door when you unlock it to get in.

It's not that easy to get the saved passwords, though. I've just checked it's vulnerabilities. In chrome saved passwords, to view the passwords you'll need the admin password. While in Firefox, there's a Master password whenever you want to see the passwords or you want to use those saved passwords to login automatically.

LOL. That is way too much for me to remember. I'll just not save my passwords. :lol: :lol:

A valid suggestion.
But, if some devious third party gets hold of some of your personal documents such as IDs, they can guess your initials-based password.


Just now noticed this comment ... I was not talking about using "my" initials. I was talking about creating a lengthy sentence that means something to me personally that no one else could guess. I use the first letter "initials" of each of those words to create a master password. I then alter that with an added keyword that relates to the site I am visiting, again, something obvious and easy for me to remember, but not particularly obvious to someone just taking a guess.

By combining those two sources, I can create a relatively unique 15 to 20 figure password for each site I visit and can easily remember them all. I never write them down anywhere else. It is not something anyone is going to find in personal documentation anywhere. The initials I am speaking about are just from a sentence about something in my past that I will never forget.

I don't trust anyone to hold my passwords for me. That just leaves them laying around waiting for a hacker to gain access.

For me i prefer having an offline storage area which you can limit the access. Its pretty easy to get your content and you are not required to have a password for such. You can also encrypt the passwords in a manner that no one can easily guess but only you.
Try having various references to certain key aspects of your life which you can then relate to a certain site and use it as a password. It will jog your memory and you will also have enhanced the encryption.

I just saved my passwords on sites that are not very sensitive for hackers to mind like faucets or many small earning sites. I am very careful though to my paypal, email or other sensitive money management sites.

Yes, I do save some passwords in browsers. Sometimes I write important passwords in a notebook.
I think these passwords in my browser are safe because I use an antivirus and I don't download random programs.
