You made it easy for others to have access to your password when you save passwords in your browser. If you save your password in your browser like Chrome, Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Edge, then your password can be accessed by anyone who logged in your computer.

Let's see an instance. For Mozilla firefox

Internet Explorer Password

Internet explorer provides no option to view passwords directly from the browser. However, you can view all passwords saved on internet explorer for the current user on utility site like IE Passview. Also you can view passwords by visiting the site where the password was used, then use  Reveal Password Bookmarklet to view all the password that was automatically entered.

How To Prevent Others From Viewing Passwords Saved In Your Browser 

1. Mozilla Firefox provides you an option to  add a "Master Password" to secure your other passwords, this can be a little inconvenient but at least it keeps others from easily gaining access to all the passwords you used for different websites including your bank accounts.
Form a strong password and use it as a Master Password for your Mozilla. It will prompt anyone trying to access your password to insert the master password.
Note: Make sure you remember the password you use as your "Master Password". if you forget this, you will be unable to access your own password manager.

2. Use LastPass to secure your passwords. LastPass is a dedicated password manager, there are lots of them but LastPass is highly recommended because of ease of use. LastPass works with the browser in your PC  and lock access to your password manager when you are logged out, you can only log in with Master Password provided by LastPass.

 3. Use a strong password to lock your computer  whenever you are not using it. If your computer is being accessed by multiple users, you can create a "Guest Account" to allow others to use the computer without necessarily logging in to your own personal account.

  5. But it’s not what you think. After seven years in journalism, I came across a job listing call girls for a social services at an anonymous agency. I was intrigued, assuming the gig was related to sexology (the study of human sexuality) because it had been posted by a sexologist friend of mine.
