People on a shared computer can still see my name and email address after I log out of the wiki
Letter from a pbwiki user:
I have a problem with the log-in saving the last person logged in. If I log in with my name and e-mail address, work on the site, and log out, then I find that my information (name and e-mail) is already entered the next time that I go to the site again. This is a big problem because several people are using the same computer for the Wiki site I created with you. That means that even though I log out, other people can log in with my name and e-mail address because that information is saved in the log-in screen the next time someone goes to the site. Can I set the log-in page to erase that information when someone logs out so that the next person has to enter their own information?
When you log out, PBwiki erases the login cookie we set on your PC. That's all we can do to keep your login information safe. You may need to make some changes on your end to make sure that you don't pass any information on to the next user of that PC.
The name and email address that you have been seeing are put there by a feature called AutoComplete in Internet Explorer. You will have to change some settings in your Internet Explorer options to keep that from displaying. Firefox browser has a similar feature that does the same thing.
See these article that explains what you can do.
