Isn't that due to cookies offered by the NYT? IE actually stores the passwords on the local
hardrive independant of the site. NAV, for instance does not store passwords for SI.

Sorry, but I do not know whether this done in the NSCP browser. In any case, if this feature is not already in the browser, it will shortly, as it seems to be a feature that is greatly desired, and thus someone from the open source community will probably implement it.

Somewhat. NYT uses cookies, but AFAIK, SI uses .htaccess and .htpasswd, which NAV *does* cache, within a single browser session (quite a long time, in my case, YMMV). NAV also caches cookies, unless (like me) you remove them by hand every time they're set.
