Hi,

It's the same deal for HTTP authentication. The "Remember my password" option only determines if it saves the password to disk. If you don't select it then it still keeps the password in memory. All the browsers are the same; this is just how HTTP authentication works.

Even though the "save my password" option is not checked, the user's proxy
authentication details are cached locally without the user's knowledge.
