    All of the websites that I have saved my card details always want either the 3 digits on the back of the card or the expiry date.

    It's not the credit card details that's at question here, it's your login details to online sites, webmail etc.

    This is a complete non-story so passwords can be viewed, if you leave your computer unattended and logged in, you log out or lock the screen in your concerned about security.

    Why don't they cover the story that if you do the same you can access everything on the computer Microsoft should really fix this flaw that anybody can access the my documents directory with a user logged in.:D

    This is why you use different password protected accounts for different people and also run as a limited user you don't need admin access for day to day work.

    People will run without security though and as admins as security is inconvenient.
