logging in question


Every so often I will login to LQ and hit the wrong key and my real name pops up in the login box. What key am i hitting and why is that? maybe for people that use the same name for their login info?

Most browsers will keep cached of usernames you've typed in, like Firebird and Mozilla do this even if you specified for it not to remember your login, etc.

Like I said, Mozilla and company will keep tabs on names and values you input into fields on many sites to try and auto populate the field. This is most likely what is happening.
