Looking through my “passwords” stored on-computer, I find “.auth-gateway.net” - what is that?  Safari has a warning by it for “too easy a password”.  I find in my cookies a cookie from the website (my service provider) dot this gateway.  It makes me nervous.  Does anyone know what this is, and why is it in my machine?

I checked with Tech Support at my Provider - He checked with his Supervisor, who told him it is merely a portal between my computer & account number and any of the Provider’s services.  They say OK - no problems.


Good to know @fidelis - thanks for telling us the answer you found!
