Windows 10: Internet Explorer 11 not saving passwords

Dear All,


I have a laptop that runs Windows 10 Enterprise and I use Internet Explorer 11 as my web browser. I have just been issued with the laptop and so have a fresh install on Windows 10. When I go to websites that ask me to enter username and password Internet Explorer 11 is not prompting me to save the username / password.


I have verified that the "Use Autocomplete for: Usernames and Passwords check box is ticked but when I click on "Manage Passwords" I can see that there are no entries in the Web Credential manager. I have already reset my Internet Explorer settings to their default values but this has not helped


Any advice / suggestions would be greatly appreciated

:)

 

How delete saved password for the website on Internet Explorer 11 on Windows 10?

Hi Bill,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community, we appreciate your interest in Windows 10.

I understand your concern about deleting the saved password for the website on internet Explorer, we will help you with this issue.

Method 1: First of all I suggest you to delete "Temporary Internet Files Folder”.

Follow the steps given below to delete the temporary files.

• Open Internet Explorer by clicking the Start button. In the search box, type
  Internet Explorer, and then, in the list of search results, click
  Internet Explorer.
• Click the Tools button, and then click Internet Options.
  
• Under the General tab, and then under
  Browsing History, click Delete.

In the Delete Browsing History dialog box, select Temporary Internet files, Cookies, Password, and History,
click Delete, and then click OK.

Method 2: Also, I suggest to perform Reset Internet Explorer, as it removes all the previous browsing history from the browser.

Refer: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-in/internet-explorer/reset-ie-settings#ie=ie-11

Disclaimer: The Reset Internet Explorer Settings feature might reset security settings or privacy settings that you added to the list of Trusted Sites. The Reset Internet Explorer Settings feature might also reset parental
control settings. We recommend that you note these sites before you use the Reset Internet Explorer Settings feature. Also re-enable the add-ons..

Hope it helps. Reply to the post for further assistance on this issue, we will be happy to help you.
