Hi, I am considering if I can log on with *remembered* passwords just as I
log on the accounts on different websites (I know it can be automaticallogon
because we use Cookies and automatic Forms). If I can, I will no longer
type in complex passwords for Windows Users/Administrators. But if there is
an option for that, is it safe?

Thanks.

But I am wondering whether the logon action is secure or not?
Does it make the OS more vulnerable for being hacked?

Quite a number of "hacks" are done at the PC itself by someone who has
physical access to the computer. A friend, co-worker, family member, person
who happens to note your PC is on, etc...
