It then displays a dialog to choose which login you'd like to use.
You're right, of course, this is by no means a real security feature at all. I would not use this, either, at a machine with more or less public access.
The particular situation is: I own a very small bookstore, and I have only one employee who manages the store when I have a day off. I trust her, she would probably not abuse it if she saw that she could login to a particular site with saved passwords. But I still feel better if it isn't SO obvious that this is possible. And it's the same for my home Mac, where a friend staying for a week might use my Mac while I'm at work, ot sth similar. I will of course leave my account open for use, if he wants to browse around in the net, but I'd like it better if he wouldn't see at first glance that he could use a saved account for a particular site.
And, anyway—how would the solution used at the moment work with different accounts on the same site, a feature that will hopefully be included soon?
