Unfortunately I don't have a technical solution for you, but... They are requiring you to surrender ALL passwords that you save on your computer, even ones for totally unrelated purposes/websites/services/banks, just because you *accessed their web site*? That's whack, man! Personally, I would go the route of "not saving ANY password on the computer." That way, you fulfill their absurd requirement without actually surrendering any password. It's a drag, having to type all passwords by hand, but still better than surrendering your personal passwords to a third party. To lessen the drudgery, I would set up a LastPass account to handle all the low-security passwords (forums and such). Since those passwords are stored "in the cloud," they should be technically exempt from that requirement too. But I wouldn't trust LastPass with IMPORTANT passwords, like for banking -- but then, I don't save those in Seamonkey either. Hell, I don't even trust Keepass with those, and that's stored in a local file using allegedly high-security encryption. Another possibility is having a copy of Portable Seamonkey/Firefox/Opera/Chrome on a USB drive, and only saving passwords on THAT copy -- again, technically "not saved on the computer." -- MCBastos This message has been protected with the 2ROT13 algorithm.
