I am not sure where ti is kiept, however most browsers have the option to
save them usename password, but it seems to be skipped on the CSG/WI pages.
I think there is something in the code that tells the browser to NOT allow
the username to be saved. Because I dont get the option on IE/Firefox but
Do in Opera.
