Ideally, this information could also be stored with the username/password already saved, but in the limitations of the current system that could be remembered as a “username-less” password (if there was only a way to get it filled!). </div><div><br></div><div>-chris</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div style="word-wrap:break-word"><div><ol><li>Does Telemetry or the Sync server indicate if duplicate passwords are rampant?
