Would you enter your credit card in the Google Bar? - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

I have been using the Google Bar for a few months now at home. It's nice for fast searching and what now. I noticed that it auto updated to the latest version. They have an option to store your credit card info and then let the bar autofill the card info in on websites. Would you - or do you - use this option?

well, my credit card number is already somewhere on my computer anyway, I'm sure, so 1 more instance probably wouldn't bother me much, as a rule. For my paranoid self, however, I left out 2 numbers on my toolbar, which is easier to remember than 16 or whatever.

I would never use the Google Bar and there's no fucking way in hell I would let any program store a credit card #. There's a progam that I use to get rid of shit like that which is stored on your PC. It's called AutoWhat?. I would recommend that everyone get it, and use it once a week.

no, i'm not trusting google toolbar w/ my credit card info.

as a matter of fact, norton internet security is set to warn me if i or some prog tries to send out any personal info (like ss #'s or credit card's)

Of course not, but that's more to do with the fact that I don't own a Credit Card... but still, security of large amounts of money is at risk.

I don't really need a quicker way to blow money on internet purchases. If I have to go grab my wallet, I have time to think about whether or not I really want to spend the money in the first place.
