I press the BACK button and guess what I see? I see the "Hello" page with my >userid and password from step 2 !!!!!!!!!!!!!! apparently the page is retrieved from the browser >cache. This is exactly one of the things I was complaining about: It is NOT a browser cache issue - it still remembers your username and password, and will continue to send it with page requests. This happens when you hit "cancel" on the new password prompt. You'd think it would forget the username and password at this point, but it doesn't. You have to clear the password field and hit OK. Crazy, huh? - Ken
