My wife works at a bank and was telling me that I shouldn't have any bank websites in my favorites because it can be hacked into or compromised easier. Any opinions on that? Haven't heard that before and haven't had any issues all these years. She also said not to have credit card companies in favorites.

I wouldn't worry too much. Like up north said, don't save passwords or user names.....

Check with your bank if you do online purchases. I know WF now has an credit card you can use for strictly online purchases. You transfer the money from your account to your card and then use the card. It will stop with online fraud as anyone that tries to use that number will come up with ISF when they try to use it.

Hey how about a password folder that has the document protected by a password in the C: drive. Is it safe?

Thats where i keep mine, should i change this?

Any advertisement on an internet site of where you can keep passwords is not a safe practice.

That's what I thought. I don't have username/passwords saved by the browser for these. Speaking of browsers saving username/passwords is there a way to delete this for other websites(nonfinancial) that I have them remember the info?

yes, what browser are you using?

I would be concerned about saving passwords. Favorites are just links and shouldn't be an issue. I wouldn't recommend saving passwords for any kind of financial sites tho. That would be a vulnerability.

I agree 100% with this. I use a common password for almost every site where I have one and I don't have a problem saving those passwords. But, when it comes to usernames and passwords for financial accounts, online bill paying, etc., I use entirely different ones. I also do not allow my browsers to save passwords, credit card numbers, checking account numbers, etc. Any hacker knows where to find these on a PC.

Does that make it 100% safe? Absolutely not! Every time I use a CC# or checking account number online I'm taking a chance just as any time I use a CC or checking account for over-the-phone or in-person purchases. It's always a risk. Actually, one of the riskiest is using personal checks. Think about it. How many of us have our address, phone number, driver's license number, and even our social security number printed on them and then at the bottom is our bank routing number and checking account number not to mention our signature. With that routing number and account number anyone can make online purchases against your checking account.

explorer

From your menu bar click Tools. Click on Internet Options. Under the General tab find the Browsing History section and click the Delete button. A pop-up window will appear. Click the checkbox in front of passwords and then when you click delete your passwords will be deleted.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
