    I think you should change the bank if it allows password saving. Very bad practice. :eek:

    They're only saved on my computer - not on the bank's site.

    Yes, but still not a very good/secure practice. Malware can read anything it likes off your hard disk, if someone gets physical possession of your computer he can get all your money. Got the point ?

    No idea. Maybe some changes at your bank backend.

    I agree with "rsinfo ". I, rarely, if ever save passwords. It is less likely that someone will break into my house, and steal my password, which I wrote down, than on the computer.

    from my previous post. Not memory, but written on paper. Of course, that can, also, be scary, if you scribble, as I do.
    But, periodically, I modify a file, which I don't save on my computer, and have everything neatly typed up.

    It's offering to memorise again - just not on those two sites. The bank claims to have made no changes to it's site, so I don't get it.
