When you check your mail, and the window pops up, it should give you an option to save your passwords. If it doesn't, check out:

I do use (for speed mostly) Google Chrome. Could you please have tricks for this program too?

Actually, I think the only way to be sure keeping it would be to save it inside a file, for instance in the home directory, on in /tmp/...

So the problem is now finished, I'll just think about saving this pass in a particular file somewhere, and with a precise name!

But thanks Cameron W. for your answer, I keep the link now!
