Many browsers do indeed store credentials, once that feature has been
enabled. So yes, you risk that someone else's browser does store your
credentials.

In general I would not recommend relying on this feature to protect
access from the outside, as LMS has not been designed to be exposed to a
potentially hostile environment. Use a VPN or SSH tunnel or something
instead.
