Password reminder problem

Kevin Fox writes about typical password forgot scenario. I think almost everybody goes through this scenario when they visit any site after 2-3 week interval.

Currently, IE and Firefox both provide facility to remember password for any site. Firefox has a very good UI for it. You can easily remove any stored password if you want. Maybe Microsoft will introduce such kinda feature in IE 7. The problem with this is if anybody has access to my machine they can visit my account. But this functionality is really handy for sites like MercuryNews.

Toolbar Developers(Google, Yahoo, MSN, ......) should consider this opportunity. This will definitely enrich the browsing experience of users.
