how to ... save a password (i did not want to save)

molup · #1 (**permalink**) 09-12-2004, 03:42 PM

the first time i logged in "that" site and IE prompted me if i wanted to "save [the username and] the password" i replyed "NO"

Now i would like to save [the username and] the password for "that" site but i do not work out how to make IE to prompt me again.

i know that if i change username then IE will prompt me again, but i CANNOT change username

i suppose (but not sure) that if i delete all password (tools>Option>content>auto completion>delete password) then IE would prompt me again, BUT i do not want to delete ALL password

if you can help me
thanks

If you go to the AutoComplete settings (Tools> Internet Options> Content and click Autocomplete), is there a checkmark in the box that says Prompt me to save passwords? If not, put one in and click Ok.

Thanks Owen, i already did it. It was ceckmarked. I even tried to uncek it, close all, open all, and cekmark it again. But with no results.

The problem is that somewhere (but where?) IE recorded i once choosed to not save the password for that site and username. And now it remember it and does not ask me again to save the password.

thanks again

Yehaa! I worked it out.

Not very technical, indeed.
But it has been enought to add a space after the user-name-i-cnnot-modify.
The web-site software considered it without the space. But IE, thinking the user name was different, asked me if i wanted to save user&password.

Thanks again,
ciao,
