Are there security issues with letting IE (and Firefox) store
passwords?

TIA,
 
It is not a safe as saying no if that's what you mean, the biggest risk is
probably from people with physical access to your PC but of course a Trojan
could find them too...

Yes, that's what was worrying me - I've always said no.
http://www3.sympatico.ca/gtopala/about_siw.htm has a utility that can be
very revealing, somewhere (in tools menu maybe) is an item called "Secrets".
:)

http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/tools/mbsahome.mspx might be of
interest too.
Thanks for those - I'll have a look at them.
