LinkedIn showed my email address on their web page, and provided a box under it to type my email password.

Maybe they wouldn't have actually stored my password locally, but there's no way for a user to know that for sure.

Ah, I use GMail, which allows that the type of functionality I mentioned. I didn't see that it behaves differently with other providers.
