When I go to a site that requires an ID, Windows ask if I want to remember the password, etc. Sometimes I had originally typed the wrong one and now Windows remembers this as I had agreed for it to do as such. I go back with the correct password, same pop up box asking if I want Windows to remember and I agree. Now if I go back, both the older invalid password and ID is there along with the correct one after I click on the area to put in the letters. Where can I go to delete old invalid IDs and Passwords that Windows has remembered? Thanks

Try deleting the cookies from the "cookie" folder, then when you return to the site, it will ask you if you want to remember the p/w-login etc..(works for yahoo email)

http://download.bravotech.us/download/tools/PC%20Mag/ Microsoft Internet Explorer (version 5 or later) has an AutoComplete feature that helps you fill in Web-based forms. If the feature is enabled, each time you submit data in a form, the information is encrypted and stored on your local machine. The next time you encounter a form field with the same internal field name, IE tries to complete that field automatically. As soon as you type a letter that matches the beginning of any recorded value for that field, IE displays a list of possible values from which you can choose. To see all saved values, you press the Down Arrow. The Internet Options applet in Control Panel lets you turn AutoComplete on and off and clear all its recorded data. It doesn't, however, let you clear form fields selectively or view the stored data. This issue's utility, AutoWhat? 2, fills the gap. With AutoWhat? 2, you can view what's stored for each input field name, delete incorrect values, and preload the system with additional values. AutoWhat? was originally released as a PC Magazine Extra utility in November 1999. Version 2 adds support for Windows NT–based operating systems. AutoWhat? 2 requires Internet Explorer 5 or later and runs under Windows 95, 98, Me, NT 4.0, 2000, and XP.

Hi Gary IE / Tools / Internet Options Content tab / Click AutoComplete Click Clear Forms, and then Clear Passwords Everything is erased and next time you enter a password, the dialog box will come up and ask if you want to save it, and your list will be rebuilt. Krystyna

Yes thanks..I actually don't want to clear them all as so many I don't have written anywhere to put in at a later time and passwords are always in X's so I can't write them all down. Thus, I will give the PC Magazine article a try. I was hoping I could get something within the registry to delete but it doesn't look like it. Thank You I have IE 5.5 SP2

WHEN the drive dies, you can kiss those passwords goodbye. Either make a PAPER copy of your passwords, or be ready for a LOT of grief WHEN the hard drive decides to commit suicide. Almost ANY method of storing passwords is better than what you're doing right now; use the "Forgot My Password" option to have your passwords e-mailed to you, and stop playing Russian Roulette with those passwords. techwarrior

FREEWARE WIN95/98/NT/2000 http://www.all4you.dk/FreewareWorld/links.php?search=password&la=xx AsterWin IE When you login into a web site with user name and password, you sometimes have the option to store the password in your computer. If you choose to save the password, in the next time that we'll visit this site, the password field will be automatically filled with your password, but you won't be able to view it, because the password-box shows the password as sequence of asterisks (****). This utility reveals the passwords stored behind the asterisks in the web pages of Internet Explorer 5.0 and above. You can use it for recovering a lost web site password, if it's stored on your computer. http://www.all4you.dk/FreewareWorld/links.php?search=password&la=xx Password Spectator This Password Spectator software allows users to decrypt and display passwords stored behind the asterisks. Windows systems allow a convenient storage of frequently used passwords, such as the password of your dial-in ISP or FTP connection. However, since you no longer enter the saved password manually, you tend to forget them. What are you to do when you need to know one of the saved passwords? The password is staring right at you, but is hiding behind a row of "*****" asterisks. For 9x and NT users the solution was to use a password recovery utility that displayed the passwords inside the box. But as many users upgrade to Windows XP they realize that Microsoft changed the security of the password boxes and all old password recovery tools fail on Windows XP. But with the Password Spectator, users can reveal their forgotten passwords on XP and Windows 2000 as easily as on Windows 98 or Windows ME. http://www.iopus.com/wasp.htm 123 Write All Stored Passwords (WASP) WASP will display all passwords of the currently logged on user that are stored in the Microsoft PWL file. It allows the supervision / convenient deletion of this file to improve the security / privacy of your PC. It is also very useful for educational purposes about computer security. In the documentation you also find helpful facts about the Microsoft PWL file in general.
