as i said dear leocg, and linuxmint7 ............ i may accidently leave my computer open ..... or leave it open to a friend to make something on it ............ anyway ............ it is a serious defect in my eyes .............. sometimes it is hard to make someone use the guest account ........... i may need some changes to be done by a friend on some files i open them for him to be saved later on my account ........
the simple question to ask yourself is ...... what is the harm in the presence of a master password that a user has to remember to have access to his other saved passwords !!!!
