Re: I need to see the autocomplete functions "history"

My World of Warcraft account was hacked over the weekend, my
password has been changed! On Warcraft's main loggin window, When
loggin information doesnt match for some reason, you are directed to
http/worldofwarcraft.com/accounts where you can imput your loggin
info into their online database- and thus i tried to - i entered my
username--- the first letter of it that is, windows autocomplete
filled the rest in as normal. i enter my password-- red flag-- i
shouldnt have had to enter it all-- i hit enter-- and i get a
message from autocomplete - "the password you entered does not
match the password stored in windows for this username" Ok...first
question is, doesnt this little message from autocomplete mean that
my password was changed from my own computer??? I mean, in order
for autocomplete to register a change, doesnt it have to be typed
in on this very keyboard? I dont drink, and i dont remember ever
even wanting to change my password. My wife knows my password
though, and has issues with my gameplay. I suspect she may be
responsible. Question #2: if my password has indeed been changed
from my computer, is there a way for me to look at a "history" for
autocomplete? -in hopes of possibly finding out what password it is
currently remembering--- which might be what my password has been
changed to.

Sounds like a reasonable logic in #1...
For #2 - no. Not unless you had a keylogger running would that type of
information be available to you.
