Comment 385 for bug 195698

On the other hand, other people can (if you're not attending the PC,
and have the master password already entered), also log into your
webmail, internet banking, ebay account, etc, and start doing
nefarious things there too, even if they can't immediately see your
password in a text file somewhere.

It's basically a matter of how much you trust other people who you
leave at your PC.

If you're paranoid about such things it's better to quickly create a
new system account, lock your current window manager login, and then
login to the new window manager as the new user (and make sure that
your home directory permissions are secure).
