Yes, although I would say use that new password every time.  I don't cache
passwords other than at home, and not all the time there.

Just a side note about the sign-in cookie...  Your member ID and password are
stored in the cookie, but in murfled form.  Thus, if someone is able to steal
your sign-in cookie, they can impersonate you, but they still won't know your
password, and they won't be able to change your password.  But you know your
password, and if you change it, then the cookie they stole a copy of would
stop working.
