i know you have it working, and I think your solution is not to far off from thisβ¦
This reminds me of working with Windows GDI Brush objects.
They were standard fill patterns, but you had to βrealizeβ the brush against your target GDI context before you could use it to fill a shape on that context.

Yay! Another good (but incredibly lucky) guess!
It's actually boring when that happens - I don't have to think much to work it out from the "clues" when a wild guess gets it right ...

I just tried to pay my health service premium online. The health servive's payment service requests an email address and password. It also has an option to choose one of your previously used logins. I was horrified to see it cough up website urls, Login IDs, AND passwords over the past I do not know how many years. Unbelievable!
Update: Upon further inspection as Richard points out below this list of logins is coming from the browser, not the website. I use mostly FireFox. The list pops out even on my own website, BirdBuffs, and it is definitely not from my own code. Also Edge is doing something similar, probably Chrome as well. No doubt safe for now, at least until the bad guys hack it.

Agreed with jeron. How do you think it works? Is this not just the browser letting you pick from previous logins it knows about?
|

Correct me if I am wrong, but the web app executing in the browser on your machine extracts the login information from your system, uploads it to the web server, renders it on the page, and posts the page back to your browser. Thus the app running on the server can do whatever it wants with the information. Not only that but this data is broadcast in the clear over the Internet!
|
|
|
|
|
No, that's all handled locally by the browser. It never leaves your system.

Right. Your profile data is synched with MS's servers so it can be brought back and shared across whatever devices you let it. That's all under your control. Most of these things have switches so it can be turned off.
OP was under the mistaken impression all of that data was being shared with whatever site you're connecting to, which is clearly not the case.
And FWIW, most browsers do something similar. So do password managers. On all OSes. On all devices. None of that is a "major breech [sic] in Windows security" until, y'know, there's an actual breach to speak of.
Which is why I tend not to let anything sync stuff online, but not for the reasons OP was thinking of.

Also a payment service will be using HTTPS so anything sent is encrypted.
|
|
|
|

Right. It is encrypted during communications over the Internet. But not once it gets to the host server.

No, The browser keeps all the login details that you have told it to save. If you want to tidy it up then go to the browser's settings page where you can delete any outdated details.

I reckon it could work both ways; data can be bound either at the client machine or at the server. The site I mention here obviously had access to the system files on my PC, extracted saved login information which was not encrypted, and then if they so desired could easily upload to their server.

You misunderstand how browsers work. Login and password data may be saved by the browser, under your direction. That information is encrypted and stored in the browser database on your client system. There is no way the browser can pass that back to the server unless you write some code to do it. If you also tell the browser to make that information available through other devices then it will transmit it securely via your account with the browser provider.
