Add ability to turn off MRU history on Identity Safe menu

When you press the yellow padlock to activiate the Identity Safe menu, the drop-down contains a list of most recently used websites.  You should be able to select whether or not to see that list for security and privacy reasons

I agree. The user needs control of this feature to turn it off or clear the list when they want.

Actually, I don't even know WHY this was even added in the first place! When the padlock is clicked, why not just display the folders as before in NIS 2011?

 

This one goof-up has turned a nice product into a piece of garbage. Seriously.

Post moved from 'What's on your Menu Tonight'?

 

Okay so here's an embarrassing thing..!

 

I'm showing a friend some stuff on my favourite website, I click my Identity Safe button to login and oh,,, wait one minute! What are all those sites in the drop down menu you've logged into previously? Are they Porn sites?

 

Well okay, that would be embarrassing, as if I would look at such things! :smileysurprised: But do we really have to have them on show for all to see?

 

See below!

I would like to keep my logins in the folders where I put them thanks.., not outside of them! Okay I understand it might have been done this way for quick retrieval but do we really need our browsing habits managed in this way?! Besides, it makes the menus look really cluttered!

 

Perhaps we could have yet another setting to turn this off please or better still, remove it altogether?

I'm on board with this suggestion.

 

Norton 360 • Norton Internet Security • Norton Zone | XP SP3 • Windows 7 Professional SP1 x64
• PLEASE, BACKUP or EXPORT your Identity Safe Data on a regular basis •

Or better yet, add the ability to EDIT the most recently used list!

MRU ....

Don't use it .... with 50+ logins the darn thing never presents the one I want.

Easier just to go to All Logins.   So, what happened to the scroll bar?

The up down arrows do seem more responsive in 12 vs 11

Hi bjm,

 

You seem to be missing the point of 'sooner12''s original post! Regardless of whether or not you use the MRU list, it is on show for all to view as soon as you click the ID Safe button on the toolbar. This can be seen clearly on my screenshot above.

Since, I added my Kudo to 'sooner12' OP.  I got the point....

I simply added my $.02 post as is available to all users/contributors in an open forum.

Great screenshot presentation....um, which I also added my Kudo.

Respectfully submitted
