Password for my eBay account is continually shown in box.have ticked the box so not to show other guests but password shows in box once more.very worrying as y
On my iMac ,eBay password is always available. Have ticked box to not reveal password,so I have to sign in. When I go to eBay the password is shown in a series of dots. Anybody can access my account and purchase items. This is a very insecure site and have tried everything to erase password from this account.
