With due privacy settings; most browsers prompt me before "saving" my 
password, GOOD browsers let me disable the prompt entirely since I 
know the answer will always be "no" ;)

If my OP is only identifying *me*, does it still need to advertise a 
generic "all users" endpoint, or will this point be moot since all 
single-user OP libraries will act no differently than multi-user OP's?
