Just browsing MSFN as normal, i happen to have ZoneAlarm enabled and it poped up and asked me if i wanted to allow a cleartext password to be sent to MSFN.

When i looked it said (and i quote)

Internet Explorer is trying to send "eBay Password" to www.MSFN.org

Whats up with that then? :/

no idea, unless you have autocomplete turned on... but cant see it being that anyway.

Never store your passwords on your machine, you wouldnt leave your house keys on your porch, same applies.
