How to delete a saved password in a contact in a browser
Almost all browsers have a function to remember the entered logins and passwords. On the one hand, this is very convenient: you logged in once in VKontakte, provided the browser with the opportunity to “remember” your credentials, and that’s it, you open the site and immediately get to your personal page. But on the other hand, this setting reduces the level of security: the login and password stored in the web browser from VKontakte can be stolen either by hackers, through a network attack, or by other users in the absence of the PC owner (they will only need to look into the settings ).
Of course, dear reader, the choice is yours, but is it worth risking your account for the sake of short-term convenience? Agree, it’s still better to spend a few minutes logging in to VKontakte than to get nervous, worry and restore access to a hacked account later.
