I'm selling my ipad and needed my apple ID password to factory reset it, which I'd totally forgotten. I haven't used it in years. So I open an INCOGNITO window on my machine at work, and go to the old gmail account associated with my apple account, which I haven't logged in to for at least a few years, and the password is saved and I just click login without having to enter it. In an incognito window. WTF!?
- Incognito still uses existing user details and history, no? It just doesn't commit anything from a session.detritus
- I thought the whole point is that you can use that without worrying about leaving stuff behind, ie- login details?set
- If I go to gmail now I've logged out of that, there's no saved data of my other two accounts I'm logged in to. Same with twitter, qbn etc etc, no logins savedset
- Ok so my qbn login is there if I start typing my user. I guess I'm just being an idiot? It has been known to happen.set
- my incognito is pulling all my existing password data. you can manage this in settings > advanced > passwords & formsimbecile
- I guess it makes sense that if you've saved it in a normal window, there's no reason for it to not be there in incognito.set
- Just a bit of a shock considering I haven't even logged in to that gmail account in 2 or 3 years. Ignore, I was being a thick cunt.set
- What shocked me ythe other day was that I could see a saved password as raw text from within Firefox's menu. I had no bloody idea.detritus
- handy though - I'd been doing the 'dev tools, change type from password' 'hack' to see saved passwords I'd forgotten, which sometimes doesn't work these daysdetritus
- Weird, incognito normally flush all saved data on exit...Bennn
- get a sandbox if you don't want to leave a trace of a particular sessions's activity.Fax_Benson
- Incognito doesn't save. But will use whatever s available.pango
- Yea I get it nowset
- I love that I totally misunderstood incognito but Benn comes in and saves the day and totally misses the point, just to take attention away from me.set
- Love you Ben xset
- That's Ben's super power.pango
- Sorry set, didnt want to take attention away from you, i actually dont like getting attention. Still love you too set :DBennn
