I'm glad you aren't happy, but only because it's wrong!

Never seen the show before, which is why I might have missed a reference.
Why not just come out and say it, then you can set tomorrows!

Blimey ! I thought of it straight away and dismissed it because ? well it's a fact / myth. It was only when Sandweep ( he obviously knew it ) starting hinting at it I thought I'd give it a go. Don't forget my alarm call tomorrow

Standing by the front door with my wife, waiting for her ride to show up. She mentions an upcoming engagement, so I whip out my phone and tap it into the calendar. It's an irregular repeating one, so I type about 3 characters of title, tap one on the dropdown list, a couple more tap and all done.
She departs, and I head to my study.
Type about 4 characters of my password into the sleeping laptop ...
...
...
... and wait for autocomplete to finish it for me. 
In my defence, I'm still on my first cup of coffee.

In your defense, a bullet proof vest is a better idea.

NEVER EVER do anything on such a low level of caffeine. That's asking for trouble!
Get me coffee and no one gets hurt!

That looks like what I was after a couple of months ago! to prevent the screen save kicking in while doing a colorimetry test on the screen.

Autocomplete for passwords, awesome time-saver  ! 13 days ago, I would have proposed it as a company internal improvement - maybe also just to see how far it goes before someone says "Nah".

I use a number of websites like that - my mobile phone company site for example is so poor I changed my username to "IHateThisCr*p".
My bank (otherwise excellent) whose fraud detection department ring you up and refuse to prove they are my bank, but do want me to prove I am who they called.
Oh, and a large company I won't name whose "forgotten password" system ... needed you to log in to reset it ...

I'm not afraid to name names. Bell Canada. Had to help a relative solve some problem with his Bell account. In order to do anything, you first have to log into your account.
Guess what sort of problem I was trying to resolve.
