By checking the "Remember Password" box, your password will be remembered
for 30 days (saved in a "cookie"). Note that this will result in your
password being written to your hard drive whouch could potentially be
obtained by anyone with access to your system. Because of this, you
should not use the same password on Net-Chess.Com as the same password
you use to safegaurd other sensitive information on other sites. Bad
choices for passwords include your ATM PIN number, your POP e-mail
password, etc. To change your password, click on "My Profile" on the
Net-Chess welcome screen.
If you choose not to have your password remembered, a cookie will still
be set to save your password for your current browser session. Once you
close your browser, you will be required to log in when you return. Cookies
which are saved only for the current browser session are not written to
your hard drive, and are not readily accessible to others who gain access to
your system.
