Saving passwords in Internet explorer
Hi,
I using internet explorer , in settings i choose never want to save my passwords for websites with internet explorer, but i've come to realize that it is more convenient if i just saved them. the problem is that i set my computer so that it doesn't ask me to save passwords anymore and i don't know how to save them now.
How do I make Internet Explorer ask again ?
Re: Saving passwords in Internet explorer
Passwords are saved in one of two places - in <username>.pwl or in a cookie stored on the system. For a web page based password request, you need to find the cookie for the site in question and delete it.
For password prompt from IE, go to tools, internet options, content, autocomplete and turn on the option to remember passwords.
Deleting the DWORD AskUser in the right hand pane of REGEDIT may help if all else fails.
AutoComplete, User Names and Passwords on Forms
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\IntelliForms\SPW

Re: saving passwords in ie
if you want to save your password in IE you have to the following changes.
- Go to internet explorer
- Click on Tools
- Click on Internet Options
- Click on Content Tab
- Click on the AutoComplete Button
- There you will see the check box option: "Prompt Me to Save Passwords" and simply checking it will bring the prompt back at most web logins
You are done :thumbup1:
