I login to my bookmarks, just bookmark your bookmark page, then click on that bookmark and you enter your login id and PW.

Then every packet carries your login username and password. I personally don't care for that, since it becomes more obvious to any "sniffers", and is displayed on every screen while surfing SI. Further, it leaves open the same hole that you talked about - anyone accessing SI via your bookmark has carte blanche, plus they now know your login info to boot!

> Does it present problems I'm not aware of? You have to be really careful with that approach. If you include your username and password on the URL and surf around our site, whenever you click through to another site (from a link embedded in a message), the webmaster on that site will be able to see your userid and password in his log (because the referring URL is given to the site).
