Hi,

Just one question.............how safe are the passwords stored by Skyfire as I presume they're stored not on the phone but somewhere on the Skyfire site.

Cheers......Brian

Skyfire doesn't remember passwords but it does store cookies at the Skyfire servers.

Sorry to appear a bit of a luddite, but where do the passwords go when they fly off in to cyber space?? laugh.gif

The passwords go to the Website you are trying to access. They are sent on by Skyfire, but not remembered by Skyfire. Many Websites then hand back a cookie which serves as a session ID. The cookie tells the site that you have logged in but it does not contain your password. This cookie is stored at Skyfire.
