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
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! 
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.
Me too.

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

I agree. The MRU list is redundant and an overly cute feature that is annoying for a good number of reasons. I have found Identity Safe a very useful tool since it was first offered by Norton but this poorly judged MRU addition is something I would like to be able to remove. Access via the folders created in All Logins is all that is needed.
I also concur with this suggestion.
Best wishes.

The MRU listing is totally unecessary in my view. As paradiseduck says, it is redundant. Additionally, part of the very essence of the Identity Safe is the feeling of safety and privacy that it provides via the log in folder option rather than this new MRU list that, as others have said, is wide open for anyone to view. Sure, in previous versions without it someone could always dig around if you were logged into Identity Safe, but this new list means they don't even have to and is quite a different matter.
Also, I don't need to be reminded of which sites I log in to - I know which ones they are because I log in to them. Personally, I have never felt the need for a feature such as the MRU and now it's there find its jumble of log ins unsatisfactory and I would like the option to be able to disable it.
In contrast to my happy use of previous versions, the MRU list detracts from my experience of Identity Safe each and every day.

Hey Roosterfish, I was just reading your comments.., good to see you're also on board with this subject. 
Hopefully someone at Norton will eventually see sense and remove this offending MRU feature!!
One thing that did strike me as odd though.., in your paragraph above you mention that your MRU is on show even when logged out of ID Safe? That should not be happening! Perhaps it was a simple typo? ID Safe should only show the MRU list when logged in! Obviously this still represents a security risk in my opinion and like so many have mentioned before, it isn't necessary!!

Hi Slinky,
I could be mistaken but I think Roosterfish meant that it is simply more obvious now so that one does not have to go a little deeper to find the information. At least I don't think Roosterfish meant that it is there even w/o being logged into ID safe. 
Best wishes.

Hi Slinky
Certainly if the MRU list was on view at all times, logged in or otherwise, I would really have something to complain about!!!
No, as Allen points out, I meant that it is simply far too easy for anyone who may have access to a computer logged in to Identity Safe to view personal information. As we all agree, in a security product, whatever the good intentions of the producer, this is an unsound feature.
Hi Allen & Roosterfish,
Thanks for clarifying that for me, I must admit I did think it a little strange! I guess when you've been browsing the forums for a while you quickly realize that 'anything is possible' with Norton!
All the best
Slinky
Yes ... PLEASE Norton ... either make the MRU optional or get rid of it all together. I just can't believe in this day and age you would show THE LOGIN NAME on the drop down ... I am absolutely baffled by this decision.
