I have pc at home so I usually select the option of save username and password on the browser when asked. Is it safe or anyone from the net can get my passwords?

I save all my passwords and I think it's safe as long as you don't have a keystroking spyware on your computer. They won't know it unless they know the keystrokes you make. One way around this, I've heard, is to enter your password using your mouse. But I have no idea how one would do this!

I have been doing this for over two years now and I have never faced any privacy issues. Hence, I believe it is really safe for you to store your passwords in the browser, provided you are the only person who uses your computer. It is not possible for someone on the internet to steal those from your system.
