   It may not be a problem  at least in the manner you think it is.   
   Many websites dont allow saving of username/passwords - they do this in   
   the name of better security.   
      
   Its usually done by financial institutions, but there are other sites   
   that take this route as well, do you have a url for a site where you   
   cant save passwords?
