URGENT - my password is showing!!

[plug]

When I bring up a history list and hover my mouse over the Login page, the blurb (address?) that I can see includes my password. Am really not happy about this!!! What can I do to prevent this happening?

Am using IE.

Thanks.

I'd be interested to see if anyone else has this problem. It seems that if I login via putting a comment in (IYKWIM), it doesn't show but if I login via "You need to login to see this page" or similar, it shows.

Oh dear, plug - that doesn't sound good.

It's not happening to us at MNHQ - as far as we can tell at the mo - so maybe it's a browser thing.

I'll ask the Techs if we can look into this a bit more for you...

Thanks Helen

OK, so what browser are you using (Safari, Firefox, Internet Explorer)?

And how exactly are you getting your History up?

IE (don't know what version but suspect it's the most recent).

I click on the Favourites button with the star next to it, then on the History tab, then on the day and Mumsnet. It then brings up a list of all the pages I've viewed. If I hover over one of the Mumsnet - Login pages, it brings up the following (also shows if I right click and select properties):

www.mumsnet.com/Talk?handlelogpopup=handlelogpopup&target=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.mumsnet.com%2FTalk %3Fcall%3DThreadsImOn&logforced=logforced&nick=MYNICKNAME&pass=MYPASSWORD&remember=0

Eek - just seen it's got my nickname too

OMFG

omg mine is showing on properties too....

Ok, thank you - that's helpful.

BigTech is currently tied up with something rather new and complicated but I will talk to him about this as soon as I can.

Hope you can bear with us...

Happens to me too when I do what plug says

Thank you

Sorry about that. It shouldn't happen in future. You may want to clear your browser history to take the old copies away - if you are worried someone else in the house will look at the history and see your password.

That was Original Tech (in case you were wondering) and it should be all fixed now. Hurrah!

Oh that's great - thank you!
