Computer Problem

[davidmarsden]

i am in my 60's and retired on ill health. i love spending my time doing competitions.my internet kept going off so i was advised to download explorer 9 which was successful. i have however over 200 passwords/logins so when i go to a competition site a box drops down and i just click log in.
i now have lost the log ins (and drop down box) although i do know they are on my computer. can anyone tell me how i can find the log ins again without using system restore.i managed to get my autofill working again and have seen the log in pages since i changed explorer but i don/t know how i did it.
regards to all and thanks for any assistance

Someone may know more than I but I doubt if there is a readable file containg passwords as it would be insecure if stolen. You may wish to download a password keeper (I used KeePass for a while which was ok) and then you'd only need to remember one password to get to all the others.

Maybe if you stated which web browser you used before IE9 someone may know how to transfer the passwords across ? Were it a previous version of IE I'd have thought they'd have transferred with the install, but I guess not.

This is what I used. It may work for you too
