Greetings, I hope you all are doing well. It has been noticed that, typing autocorrect contains and shows my credentials typed earlier. For e.g let's say if I use john.doe@gmail.com and its password to login into gmail.com, next time even if I type john.doe anywhere in my handset sms, whatsapp even now at this moment, I can see john.doe@gmail.comXXXXXX where XXXXXX is my real password. This make my password visible, available unencrypted for any purpose. This also make my details easily available for hackers. Just FYI, I'm not using Samsung SmartPASS and I'm going to disable and clear autocorrect data too. Regards, Santosh.
