I need to see the autocomplete functions "history"

Guest

My World of Warcraft account was hacked over the weekend, my password has
been changed! On Warcraft's main loggin window, When loggin information
doesnt match for some reason, you are directed to
http/worldofwarcraft.com/accounts where you can imput your loggin info into
their online database- and thus i tried to - i entered my username--- the
first letter of it that is, windows autocomplete filled the rest in as
normal. i enter my password-- red flag-- i shouldnt have had to enter it
all-- i hit enter-- and i get a message from autocomplete - "the password you
entered does not match the password stored in windows for this username"
Ok...first question is, doesnt this little message from autocomplete mean
that my password was changed from my own computer??? I mean, in order for
autocomplete to register a change, doesnt it have to be typed in on this very
keyboard? I dont drink, and i dont remember ever even wanting to change my
password. My wife knows my password though, and has issues with my gameplay.
I suspect she may be responsible. Question #2: if my password has indeed been
changed from my computer, is there a way for me to look at a "history" for
autocomplete? -in hopes of possibly finding out what password it is currently
remembering--- which might be what my password has been changed to.

Sounds like a reasonable logic in #1...
For #2 - no. Not unless you had a keylogger running would that type of
information be available to you.

In addition to the other reply (with which I agree)....have you asked your
wife?

Stop playing games and go clean out the garage like you promised to do three
weeks ago. :)
