Integration of stored passwords
Wouldn't it be nice to integrate the stored passwords much more in the browser to the bookmarks for a faster browser experience? I think a lot of pages with passwords are just to log in - they have no more use. And this log in could be completely automated with an option for doing so on the bookmark for the page. E.g. a bookmark for page http(s)://login.xyz.com should have something like a drop down menu with the option to
i) Open the bookmark itself (by simply clicking on it)
ii) Directly log in to it (by clicking on the login name in the dropdown menu)
that kind of login could be very fast because the browser don't need to load the hole page and it even don't need to render it fully. By clicking on "ii)" the user would be directly forwarded to the secure area after the login. It's just an idea, but I think it would be very useful, simple to use, and fast!
