  I have a password-protected site. I’m experimenting with adding a contact form, but when I just looked at it I noticed that the fields come pre-filled with my name and email. People can change it, but I’m worried that they might forget.

  Also is there a way to add those little gibberish characters they have at the bottom of forms to prevent robots from using them?

  WordPress.com uses cookies to keep track of commenters so if someone makes a comment on your blog, the next time they come to your blog, unless they have cleared their cookies, WordPress.com will recognize them and complete the details for them. No one else will be able to view those details in comment boxes or in contact forms. The next person who comments will see blank fields. Commenters will not see each other’s details.

  As it could be considered related, I’d like to mention that there is an Admin [edit] link that’s only available to you for your convenience when you are logged in too.
