Why was i even asked to check that box, and why would i want to be remembered - so that my information could be stored and later retrieved by a total stranger, or even some corporation that i could by no means stand up against ? i was always able to identify the cynicism in Sam, and never believed i was in any way associated with it. Oh well...perhaps i was only being cautious.
But then the question has come down to: Why is there the checkbox? It is obviously that, with it checked, account names and/or passwords do not have to be entered again and again. However, it's gotta be something beyond mere convenience.
My guess is, the purpose of the checkbox is to reduce as many keystrokes as possible, thus preventing the latter to be recorded and misused. This shall work well except that, after cleaning out the cache and temp files, an user has to run the whole process once again...at the risk of being logged.
So i suppose there is no romanticism in the act, even though for a fact these checkboxes could have been named simply as cold as "Save My Login Name", "Remember My ID", while i am more likey to be able to feel relaxed with "Remember Me" - or even "Forget Me Not"?
