Well it has never worked correctly for me (even within a single session),
a bug report weeks ago gave no response...
Whatever the developers' paranoia about storing passwords, it should be an
option to save them across browser exit and system reboots. I'm quite happy
for those sorts of passwords to be stored on my machine (even in plaintext) -
the world wouldn't end if someone hacked in + read them!
