Jerry.
I have been in the computer test industry door years. I never save any logins on my computer. I never remain logged in to any site that I am not currently actively working on. I clear cookies often even if it takes a little longer to login into a site. I never store any userid or password information on my computer.
I take the assumption that any information on my computer will be hacked and made available to all. This seems to be especially true for Windows based computers. Once hacked they can have access to all of your accounts if you store the information on your computer. Additionally, I shutdown or pull the network cable on any Windows based computer that is connected to the internet when I am not actively using it. It is a little painfull to startup each time but it is worth it.
