Force autocomplete to remember a password

W

Wowbagger

On most web pages when I enter the username and password MSIE will ask if I
want to remember them. On one specific web page it will not remember ther
username/password and never asks. How can I force it to ask on this one
specific page without losing all other remembered information?

Some secure sites disable the Autocomplete feature.

But, if you checked "no" to "Remember this password" on a previous visit,
you can reset that by clearing all passwords.
IE> Tools> Options> Content> Autocomplete> Clear Passwords.

Protected Storage PassView from http://www.webattack.com/get/pspv.shtml will
recover other cached passwords *before* you clear all passwords.

It might not be allowed. Some sites deliberately prevent use
of AutoComplete for logins. I was informed once that it in the case
of online banking it had been made mandatory not to use it.

Post a link if the site is public.
