Which applications are asking users for their password?

The only partial example I can come up with off-hand is AutoWikiBrowser,
though I believe that passed the credentials through Internet Explorer or
something and then only used the cookies/session? I'm not sure it stores
the username and password directly, though it's been a long time since
I've used it and I certainly can't say for sure.

I'd be interested to know which applications you're referring to.
