Only AOL should *ever* have your password, and even then, the only
time that you need to provide it is to log onto AOL. It should never
ever be visible anywhere.

Your debit card number (or whatever it is) should also never be
visible except on HTTPS pages.  You should never type it on anything
other than an HTTPS page.

Good advice is like good paint- it only works if applied.
