Use LastPass.  It is completely safe, secure, free, and has no downside.  The free version will even work across multiple computers.  If you just want a simple plugin for your web browser that automatically logs you in to all of the websites you choose, LastPass is what you need.  Here's how to get it:

Go to www.lastpass.com and click on the big "Free Download LastPass" button and just follow the steps.  You'll create a LastPass account and it will ask you to restart your browser.  Now each time you log into a website, a bar will drop down at the top asking you if you want LastPass to remember the login/password and if it should automatically log you in each time you visit that site.

A few things to remember:

  • If you tell a web browser at a work computer to automatically log into something personal, anyone else using that computer will have the same user experience.
  • LastPass works with Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari and Chrome!
