This question relates to largely to IE, but I'm only posting it here since[snip]
maybe it relates in part to Windows (XP) generally.
IE offers the convenient feature of remembering passwords. I'm wondering
how
secure these are, assuming that no one can guess the password to my
Windows
XP account.
AFAIK Cain (<http://www.oxid.it/cain.html>) can easily show all those
passwords. I think it's safe to assume that everything on a PC can be
extracted by an attacker with physical access to it.
