    Windows will not remember passwords and account numbers


    After the last automatic windows 10 update, on my laptop, Windows can't remember passwords and account numbers. Even when it asks "Save this password?" and I say yes, I still have to enter the passwords again next time I log on. Somewhere I found a setting for "Enable Cookies" which is turned on but it didn't help. How do I convince Windows 10 to remember passwords? Interestingly, my desk top computer does not have the same issue.

    :)

    Email clients not remembering passwords

    Hi all

    A friends computer will not remember his gmail password. He used to use outlook, and seeing that I use thunderbird and it would be easier to troubleshoot I installed that for him. Now that was working for a few weeks, and now the same problem is occuring.

    We are 100% sure the password is correct, as we can access the email account through webmail, but the local clients will not remember the correct password. Of course the 'Remember password' button is checked, but still no good.

    It returns with incorrect password.

    Any suggestions?

    'Remember password for Internet e-mail accounts?

    Hi

    I allow Outlook 2013 and Thunderbird to remember my passwords. I going to guess you allow your phone to remember passwords.

    That said to I use unique passwords on all accounts and where ever possible "Two Step" / "Two Factor Authentication". This means in Outlook I use a App password.

    If someone were to get to my password they would be challenged through the two step process.

    Personally I have not seen a lot of write ups where people can steal your password in Outlook. Sure if they installed keyloggers or some other Trojan but that is why I run two AV's.

    I'm sure it is still possible to somehow get hacked but with the above in place I think you would need to be targeted and would have to let your guard down, ie open an unknown attachment, follow an unknown link.
