I keep IMing other ppl my username and password in GAIM because sometimes when I type something into the login screen, it types it in my IM windows, notepad, or anything else I might have open that takes text input or keyboard commands. It only types into one other window at a time, though, and this seems to be the most recently used one. The text is inputted into the Login fields as well, and I have a habit of using the Enter key to login in once my password is put in. So at that point, usually in an IM window, I send ppl a message containing "username<tab>password." This works both ways as well, as sometimes when I open up arcanity and then swap to another window to type something while waiting for it to load, i find that a portion of what I just typed in the other window is in the Username field on the login screen. I occasionally also have this problem with the chat box ingame, but that isn't nearly as annoying as publicizing your passwords to random ppl.
