SSB means site-specific browser (noted earlier in this thread). It is a pseudo application that, when clicked, takes you directly to a website without having to open your browser in a separate action, so it saves a step. For example, if you have an SSB for Google Docs, you would click on that "application" in your menu. This then opens Google Docs in whatever is your default browser.

Would having to put in the password and not having it remembered apply to all distros where you have tried this? Having it as a virtual machine should make no difference whatsoever for remembered passwords. I use them successfully in my VMs, but I've never used an ssb.
Growing up from childhood and becoming an adult is highly overrated.

I think my explanation wasn't clear. If you're in a browser and you go to a site where you have saved a password, you normally wouldn't have to enter it again or your browser will fill in the password blank for you. But this doesn't seem to work for an SSD; at least it hasn't for Office 365. You have to sign in every time.
