    I was thinking it may be a good idea to print all my saved logins, cross off the ones I do not want or need and remove them from computer and have only a printed list of the ones I use and want for reference. It seems these might be harmful in ways I cannot imagine and do not think the convenience of not typing them in is worth the risk. Maybe remove all of them grom the Saved Logins list.

    Do a screenprint of your saved passwords, as a nice backup.
    I also print out email addresses from time to time so I have them to refer to.

    I only remove my saved passwords when a computer leaves the house. Otherwise with just two senior citizens having access to the computers and behind a hardware and software firewall, I'm not worried about anyone looking at our passwords.

    I already made a screenprint of my passwords for they are updated on my Google and out of date on Firefox and would not work. I want to update them and since I am not ready to discard the computers I wanted to remove them from the computers so unavailable to others. I am not sure nor do I ave the time to study where hard drives are and how to find and remove them. I have several desktops that are never used with Windows 98 and XP and such just sitting for I am scared to donatre or discard them.
    I guess if we sould both pass away the passwords could nt harm us anyway.
