keylogger and keystroke questions.

[Guest]

Usually ISP service with program like AOL, Yahoo, MSN,
Earthlink have a option to remember password.

Is it safe to let the program remember the password
rather than type it? If i don't type and let the program
remember my password, keylogger/Keystroke won't able to
track it since i don't have to type password, but what
are the risk of letting the program/website remember my
password?

If i remember correctly, it is the computer you are

using that will store the password, not the website. If
you are the ONLY person to use the computer and nobody
else has access to the room then it might be safe to
store the password. Only you can make that judgment call.
