Pipe - password reset

[Pipe_Dream]

I haven't been online for several days . . . want to try this at home, hopefully this evening. It looks like either of these sites have you download their software so you can use their browser. Once this is done does their browser come up automatically every time, or can you access it only when you want/choose to? I'd like to understand what I'm getting myself into . . . I'm risk averse when it comes to my computer.
