IE7 remembers login information?!?!?!
I have IE7 installed on the machine I use to develop at my current assignment. I noticed something strange this morning and I'm not sure if I should be happy, or extremely worried.
I was reading my company email using the Outlook web client and I accidentally closed the tab that contained the Outlook web client. I opened a new tab and was presented with the standard opening page. I clicked the button to logon and expected to see the logon dialog. Instead, I got my inbox. IE7 had logged me back into the web mail client without bothering to check my credentials.
Now on one hand, it saved me time. On the other hand, if I just close the tab and not IE7, anyone with access to the system can logon to my inbox. I know of course, that you should always lock your system before you walk away from your desk. It's just something you tend to forget, or just not worry about. I will have to remember to be more cautious with IE7 tabs.
