Ahhhh. SSO (single sign on) -- Is it an SSO offer, when my Firefox browser "helpfully" asks me if I would like it [my browser] to "remember" my login credentials ??

No, SSO where one signs in to a site they've never visited via their Google or GitHub account, for example.


I always respond in the NEGATIVE to these "helpful"  browser offers.

So, you type in user and password every time you log into every site?


I can't imagine the internet being very useful in that case, but everyone's got different risk tolerances, plus I may be misunderstanding your method of logging in to sites.

I guess I don't understand how having one's browser save username and (hopefully long) password combos gets "scare quotes" around "helpful".
