I use XP pro. On the Internet when I go to sites that I have registered with
to give me access I am presented with a Box which reads "Username" followed
by "Password" and then a tick "Remember my Password". My problem is allthough
I tick the remember my password box, it never remembers, and I have to
re-enter my password every time I visit the site and all the other sites im
registered with.It's driving me craze.Please help. |

You eventually are going to have to have a Password Manager since many
sites now demand a User Name and Password. There are many but the best,
in my opinion, is A1 Roboform. They have a free version at:

In addition to the information posted, if you use the remember password
option at websites, this information is often retained in a cookie placed on
your system. If you routinely delete cookies or have some security
application that does so or won't accept cookies, many firewalls and
antivirus apps have such features, then you need to set yourself up to
accept cookies and not delete cookies from those sites.
