Transferring Web site logins to new computer

[Dougbert]

How do I transfer all my saved Web site login information to a new computer?

I'm helping a local Web designer to move all his stuff to a new computer
that I built for him. He has dozens of sites and hates to lose the login
information for the online version of each site. I have no idea where FP
saves this. Is it possible to transfer all this information to a new
computer? Copying the Web site folders "as is" doesn't seem to copy the
login information. Thanks!

That's stored / maintained by Internet Explorer.

Go here: http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/pspv.html and download a copy of.
Protected Storage PassView.

Run it on the old machine and export the user names and passwords.
Copy the file to the new machine and run Protected Storage PassView and
import them to the new machine.

So when a Web site developer using FrontPage uploads changes to a Web site,
and sees a login dialog, that login dialog is really coming from IE, and IE
is caching the credentials? Interesting.

Thanks,

Actually the login dialog comes from the system.

Even if you have saved the user name and password, it still is verified by
the server.
