The above link is for the website administrator. I'm not very competant when it comes to computers...but this alert caught my attention. Any chance this website is in danger?

Thanks for the attention to the matter...assuming it requires any attention. :)

Firefox Password Manager will automatically enter any saved passwords and usernames

The problem only occurs if people use the password manager that is built into the web browser, which no one in their right mind would ever do.

It isn't a problem with the website, but with the browsers.
