Is it possible to create a Firefox shortcut with username and password stored inside? Even if the cookies got cleared the username and password should remain.

WARNING: this method is insecure since bookmarks are not encrypted, which means anyone with access to your machine could login with your credentials if you save bookmarks this way.



Most web browsers support the following syntax:




protocol://username:[email protected]/direcory




For example,




http://bob:[email protected]/secrets




Using this syntax will work in a Firefox bookmark (though FF will warn you when you click it)



Note that this only works for websites that use HTTP password authentication (.htpasswd files in Apache). This won't work, for example, on Facebook.
