Mike, great stuff here. I would love to discuss my thinking around why MSFT approach to DNT isn't the right one and how to improve this for everyone: blog.bizo.com/.../the-facade-of-safety-why-microsofts-approach-to-dnt-is-harmful-to-online-consumers-and-what-to-do-about-it.

Yes - I do that. But what happens if your computer crashes, or IE crashes, or you want to change computers or...!

@Mike Glen:

Jeff Meisner, editor of Microsoft on the Issues here. Thanks for reading the blog and for your comment with regard to passwords. I just wanted to respond:

Strong passwords are long phrases or sentences that only you would know, mixing letters, numbers, and symbols. If using Internet Explorer, you can enable the browser to remember passwords by changing your settings – see instructions below. You can also visit www.support.microsoft.com, as well as review our Seniors, Stay Safer on the Internet guidance (PDF), for tips & support. Hope this helps Mike!

In IE, click Tools > Internet Options > Content > Autocomplete > Settings & *check* the User names & passwords on forms & Ask me before saving passwords checkboxes.

I'm 75 and my biggest problem with security stems from remembering passwords. If only we could have a secure way of storing and retrieving simply all those tens of passwords accumulated over the years.
