Microsoft Request to Remember Login

[randau]

Microsoft's request to remember my Login appears on some of my Login
web pages after entering the Login info for the first time. It then
auto completes Login info in the future on that web page (as it's
suppose to). But on other Login web pages, the Microsoft request to
remember my Login never appears. Is there some way of making it
appear or manually getting Microsoft to remember a web page Login?

Does the web page itself determine whether or not Microsoft will offer
to remember the Login info?

Some web page Login's have a "remember me" box which I usually check,
but doesn't seem to have any effect on whether or not the Microsoft
request to remember my Login appears or wether the login is
remembered.

Yes, a Web page can prevent IE from remembering the password. Man financial
sites especially do this.

Microsoft is not prompting you for anything. Microsoft is a company who may
have made some software/application/operating system that you are utilizing
and that software/application/operating system may be prompting you for
things - but not Microsoft.

Assuming you mean Internet Explorer - which version?

There are many ways a web site can prompt you to logon. Some of those can
be remembered by various Internet Browsers (Internet Explorer 6.0, Internet
Explorer 7.0, Firefox, Opera, etc.) and some cannot - simply because of the
authentication method or method of asking you for your username/password
that the web page operator has chosen.

It is bad security practice to have the web browsers remember the username
*and* password for a given web page. Makes it a simple thing for someone
who gains access to your computer to gain access to the web pages you
utilize.

Thank you Frank, that's the answer I was looking for.
