hi all. new here, well, been lurking but now i got registred :P
anyway, i was wondering.
how does the OSS browser store its passwords for sites?
Is it cookies? isnt that rather unsafe? if so, where?
this has been bugging my mind for a lil while now :P
Passwords on n97 mini?
I didn't have password problems with Nokia Web during several years . However , when you open Web (browser) , click Options > you can Delete Privacy related data and in > Settings change the desired functionality .

ah ok.
but where are the data stored? i've never really gotten that. is it like encrypted in some files? where?
They're most likely stored/saved in a file in the browser's private directory in phone memory (the C-drive on the phone), which is protected from access by unprivileged applications. Whether the file is encrypted or not, or how, I don't know.
Cookies have nothing to do with how the browser stores usernames/passwords (but a web site might store username/password in a cookie, if it is a badly designed web site).
If someone checks the Symbian^3 source code from http://developer.symbian.org then it is likely that whatever the browser in Symbian^3 does, it is close to what the N97 mini browser does, too.
