We all know that Google provides shortcuts for most of the actions in GMail and Google Reader.

For example, GMail provide shortcuts like,

• c – Compose
• /- Search
• r – Reply
• f - Forward

These shortcuts can be found here GMail Shortcuts and Google Reader Shortcuts. But while composing some mail, we can’t always visit this link to find a shortcut. I feel that it is difficult.

So what is the easy solution for this? Google gives an easier way to find keyboard shortcuts.

? Key is the solution for this.

Yes, you can get Google Keyboard shortcuts by pressing ? key in your keyboard.

The known security tip is that, we should not click on “Remember my password” option when using public computers. If you would have checked this Rememer Password option, then anyone can easily view your mails/content.

They can view your content but can’t chanage the password if it is a website like Yahoo or GMail. Because you willbe asked to provide the old password to change it.

Here is the easy way to know the saved password for Yahoo and Gmail.

Enter your username and password. Now copy and paste the given javascript in the address bar and press enter.

Yahoo: javascript:alert(document.forms[0].passwd.value);

This script will display the password in an alert box like below.

Gmail: javascript:alert(document.forms[0].Passwd.value);

Find the alert box displayed in GMail

Amazing, isn’t?

Now anyone can change the password. So make sure that you don’t click on “Remember my password” option at any cause. Even if you would have clicked, clear the cookies and saved password details as soon as you logout.

Most of the website collects the email id when you either want to see the contents of the site or download software or something from their sites though they promise you that they keep your email id confidential. You can’t trust all these sites and you will really reluctant to give your email id to some websites.

The solution is to use a disposable email service. There are so many service providers gives this facility. I found this one, PookMail.com , as the simple and best solution.

PookMail.com is a disposable email account system. Use this service to avoid giving your personal email address to suspicious websites. Your temporary mail account will be deleted after 24 hours.
