osso, exactly my point. i just go to hotmail or whatever and sign in. he set up a seperate mac user acct for me so i couldn't find out he had set the administrator acct preferences to save all of my passwords. i noticed it in the settings in my user acct and deleted it. then i saw it in the administrator account settings one day when it was left open and deleted it from there.
people visit and use my computer all the time and i could care less.
jpowell,,,i'm talking personal email acct and all other passwords here, not system user passwords. big difference in my opinion..
I'd be quite pissed off if someone got access to my personal passwords for my email accounts or anything else for that matter! Talk about an invasion of privacy!!!

I'm stuck on OS 9 right now so I can't comment on Panther things right now. My last OS X box ran 10.2.8. But I'm not aware of any "log all users passwords and let me look at them later option". I thought hotmail passwords were saved a cookies. So answer me this. Could you view your passwords or did you simply see the option to save your passwords?
I think that with all the scrutiny OS X goes through with the slashdot crowd you are safe unless some other keystroke logging software was installed. I don't know if that software exist right now for OS X but if it is your problem is with your family and not OS X.
