IE7 won't remember login info for basic authentication

#1 12-02-2007, 09:32 PM

Hi there -

For some reason, IE7 has stopped remembering login info I enter even though
I am religiously checking the "Remember my password" box. I emptied out all
my network passwords from Control Panel > User Accounts > {User name} >
Manage Network Passwords. I also reset all IE settings and deleted every bit
of history, but all to no avail. Any suggestions would be welcome! Note
these are not Intranet domains, but a public website.

Thanks!
Grant

Is it a SSL (Secure) site?

Windows version, please?

IE Tools > Internet Options > Content > Autocomplete > Settings > Delete
autocomplete history: Did you do this yet?

Please excuse my inserting myself into this discussion but I am having this
same problem on Vista but not on XP. Because I am limited to dial-up internet
access, this is a major pain. I have cleared all temp files per your
immediatly previous instruction but this doesn't address the problem at all.
Can you help?

ok. Sorry. I didn't think that duplicate problems were supposed to be logged
separately. My mistake. New thread coming up.
