If the check box is on the web page Peter is correct.
If the check box is a small pop up alert from SeaMonkey then the
password and login are stored inside SeaMonkey Password files. Those
passwords and logins are encrypted and can be viewed by you from
Edit/Preferences/Privacy & Security/ Passwords.

No. Seamonkey stores the passwords in a password repository, which is by
default "obscured" (IIRC) but which you can and should protect by
enabling encryption in your security prefs.
Do I have to tell you not to forget the master password for the security
device?
