They have access to your internet data (via network sniffer or whatever) This means they can see pretty much every site you visit, every unencrypted email you receive, every post you make, etc. Your forum password is probably the least important thing. 2. They have access to your computer, either directly or via some sort of trojan In this case, probably the last thing you have to worry about is forum passwords. They're on your computer -- they can already do whatever they want. So, I don't see any reason to worry. If someone has the ability to see your password, you've got more serious things to worry about. huskies - such fluff. UER Forum > Archived Old Forum Issues > Password and cookie.
