I am in no position to speculate.
speaking personally, given how personal personal computers can be, there
could be any number of goals Chime has in mind.

Hi Chime,
It depends on what you mean.
Some sites for example use cookies to manage that goal.
I belong to a site called archives of our own.
When I use lynx here, because my username and password are saved, I am always
recognized, even if following an ao3 link provided via email.
Some services have a remember me on this computer option, managing the same
thing.
Are you comfortable sharing an example?

Hi All: I realize it is not a great practice to use a same password for
everything, but so-far, even looking in a lynx manual, there seem no references
to saving site passwords. It would make certain sites a bit easier if they
already know who I am. Thanks so much in advance

Hi there,
I guess Chine means the similar stuff as in Chromium and Firefox?
Where the browser monitor some certain <input> tag - e.g. the ones with id and
class like 'password' - then store the user input in plain text, so that could be
auto-filled next time.
I myself do not use this function in any browser, and I guess lynx doesn't have
this one. I would be surprise if lynx supports this.
Best wishes,
Huihang
