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.
