I don't think so. It's convenient to save password to browser so you can access to the site quickly. However, there many issues.
If the browser, Mozilla Firefox, Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, Safari, Opera,... has vulnerability, people can get your login and password stored in your browser. The browser alway a first target for hackers to explore the weakness. Second, if someone using your computer, he or she can see your password. Third, I have more than one account for a particular web site, I need erase the default username to type the other username to get in. I don't like that.
I'm used to type my login and password and NEVER using cookies to memorize my user name or login. This practice is good when I'm in my own office and at home. When I login to check my email using my laptop in public place such as library, class room, cafeteria,... I'm feel incomportable. Someone behind or next to me can see what I type? Solution: Type fast, use longer password and KeePass application.
