I guess you use the cloud for that?  Even a copy of the credentials stored in a gmail folder could work.

I *think* I've seen that on a couple.  It could certainly be a selling point for a BBS. Without it, the user might just decide WTF and not bother.

CP> Yeah, that definitely is a nice feature.

I'm now preoccupied copying the Firefox login creds for some of the online web resources I use for the bookshop for placing orders.  What a horrible task. That, on top of other things I need to do today is driving me up the wall. ...All because in iddy biddy fan decides not to cooperate.  :(  I may muster the courage to disassemble the laptop and at least try to clean the fan and add some lube later.
