Allow users checkbox to save their Clearview login credentials

Allow user checkbox to save their Clearview login credentials so that they do not have to retype login and password every time they log in to Clearview.  Even very secure bank websites allow you to do this if from the same IP address.   I think it used to be this way in Clearview?  Should be a very easy change taking very little development time.

    As Clearview is a public-facing Internet site, and as the number and variety of threat actors has increased in just the past few years, we do not believe that allowing passwords to be "remembered" is appropriate. You must have unique, highly complex passwords, that are not remembered through cookies or other insecure means. This makes password managers your best option.

    As per Mick Whelan's comment, there are a number of password managers that are both easy to use and affordable. For many years, including while performing security consulting work, I recommended 1Password. There are a number of excellent alternatives as well, including LastPass, Dashlane, and more. These tools would allow you to merely click two buttons to log in to any web site with ease.

    In conclusion, due to security concerns, we will not be implementing this suggestion.

    Most browsers have password managers. Dashlane is a great cross-platform password management tool.

    Bank sites allow you to do this?   Not on my planet!   You should change your bank immediately if that's the case.  That being said, this isn't a horrible idea.   But Jerry, cmon, it's 2019, you should be using a password manager to do it for you.
