If you use Firefox they don’t need to crack it, your passwords can be seen in clear text (Tools- options, security, stored passwords, show passwords). More fun still your passwords and other stored text (like say your CC numbers) are stored somewhere in your profile stuff, so anybody on the machine just has to copy the Mozilla folder from your Application Data and they’ve got all your magic conveniences.Which is easily remedied by supplying a master password. Duh.

Had a friend some years back who "discovered" a huge security hole in Windows -- it could be set so that it just logged you in when it booted ... OMG ONOEZ!
"Hey Doc, it hurts when I do this."
"Don't do that."
