Still Cannot Retain Passwords - Tried Everything. Urgent Please!

[moggie 939]

I am using Windows 7 with IE11 and until the other day I was able to retain passwords on my most used sites - but now every time I go into the sites it asks me to sign in!

I have been told to go into tools - internet options - privacy - set to medium (have always had it on this setting) - automatically enable cookies - apply ok.This does not alter my situation.

The only thing I have done different recently was to do a defrag on my laptop.

This is really annoying me now. Also before I used to get a message at the bottom of my screen saying something like 'do you wish to save this password in IE' That no longer appears either.

What have I done?

Thanks

Check that the AutoComplete option is turned on. See here:

Better still, use a decent web browser!

Thanks buenchico. I seem to have got them back - for how long I don't know!

Have always used IE (it's an age thing!). Did try Firefox once but seemed hard to fathom. Always use i google until they pulled the plug. Having said that since being unable to use O.Express I have used Thunderbird (same stable as Firefox?) and it is magic as I can see immediately my emails from Google Web Mail.
Thanks again

Hi moggie....I 'll ignore your comment, "Have always used IE (it's an age thing!)." It's quite likely I am a lot older than you and choose to use Firefox which, like Buenchico, I think is a far better browser than Internet Explorer which doesn't allow you to see what passwords are being retained on your behalf.

Thanks both of you - I take your points. I think I'll close d midownload Firefox and give it another try as so many people have said how good it is.
