I confirm this on my home machine. Weird the office machine seems to
have worked differently.
I also confirm the bug: If you do *not* tick the "do not store"
tickmark, TB will remember the password across sessions.
HCI remark: "do not store"... didn't we have a thread some time ago
about negative sentences to be confirmed? Should this be a "store
the..." dialogue, where the default could be ticked or not, depending
on the developers taste?
And I second the motion that this choice should be on the first
window, not only visible on the second, deeper, window.
