After filling out a form on a "SECURE website" (padlock - check,

At Micro$oft, that would be called a "feature."

That's why I've disabled it.

The CC number was typed "in the clear" and therefore stored "in the
clear" but only in the form history, not on the site or any other site.

Having it stored on my computer and easily found is only safe if I can
guarantee the physical security of my computer. Better not to store it
at all.


Exactly!

In the past I have found my CC number stored in the Windows Registry! This
sort of procedural security lapse is still rampant even tho they have closed
the software security holes.
