lotse Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 I thought it was the "auto complete form history" button that has to be unchecked. I Clear all my cookies everyday and I have never lost my passwords. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTskifreak Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 Technically..I believe both work. AJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I Clear all my cookies everyday and I have never lost my passwords. Could be either, but cookies is the one that most commonly comes up. From the beginners guide: CookiesCookies are small text files that Web sites save on your computer to help your browsers remember specific information. For example, they might store your username and password. Autocomplete Form HistoryWhen you type in a username and password on a webpage, IE frequently prompts you to select whether you'd like it to remember these details for next time. Whilst this is very useful and may save you time logging in. It can be a security risk as other people will be able to log in from your computer. Selecting this option with remove any stored usernames and passwords. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lotse Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 I should add that on some sites now, I have to type the first letter of my log-on name before the name appears on a drop down list, I then select it, and the password follows... Maybe thats where cookies might help for me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerald280435 Posted July 7, 2007 Author Share Posted July 7, 2007 Go to Options>Cookies, select the cookie for the site you want to save the password for (in the 'Cookies to delete' box) and click the arrow button to move it to the 'Cookies to keep' side I went to Options/Cookies and did as you suggested, and I am pleased to say that it works perfectly. Thank you all for your help. I am one happy man.... Gerald Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
