Description François Michonneau 2011-04-28 20:58:46 UTC 
I realize that it's not something that is very likely to happen, but if you enter your login information and then suspend the computer (before hitting enter), on resume the password information is still available and thus anybody with physical access to the computer can log in. It seems that it would be safe to clear the login information if suspend is initiated at the login screen.
