About risk
The risks of saving the login ID and password in the browser of the shared PC are as follows.

Other users can freely log in to this system by using the information saved in the browser. Browsing or exporting personal information registered in this system may cause leakage of personal information.

You can view the saved login information from the browser settings menu. If you know your login ID and password, you will be able to freely log in to this system from another PC at a later date, which may lead to leakage of personal information.
