[QUOTE="WileECoyote, post: 534343, member: 83474"] I understand your concern. But unfortunately this plugin will probably not work correctly unless you save the password from the Netflix site. Just to explain a little of the backend... When you install the plugin and hit the "Authorize" button, it will take you to the Netflix site to authorize. Once you enter your credentials, the 'My Netflix' application will save a key. That key allows the My NetFlix application to pull your DVD Queue, Instant Queue, Recommendations, etc... When you browse movies, the URL to the movie is passed to the My NetFlix application. When you click play, it then relies on your browser credentials to play the movie (so the Key stored ealier has nothing to do with this process.) So if you do not have the credentials saved in your browser, it will prompt you for your credentials. If after you enter your credentials, Netflix may take you somewhere else, or somehow misinterpret the information saying its an invalid movie/series. So if you are using a private computer and for the best performance/experience my recommendation would be to save your password, unless you are using a public computer then I would agree with you and say not to save it. Wile E. Im Sorry, I didnt answer your question... The custom browser is based off an IE control, so my best guess is it will use the cookies from IE. So if you are to save your password I would do it in IE. That would make sense that after you changed your settings in IE it would work correctly... [/QUOTE]
