VIDEO: Saving passwords in Internet Explorer
Make yourself surfing and working in the Internet a bit easier and save all user IDs and passwords in your Internet Explorer. This feature is called "AutoComplete" in Internet Explorer and is easy to activate.
How to save passwords in Internet Explorer
- To save passwords, open Internet Explorer and select "Tools" in the menu bar above.
- In the overview window that now appears, click on "Internet Options". This is an extensive collection of setting options for your browser. The "AutoComplete" function you are looking for is somewhat hidden in it.
- In the opened window, select the "Contents" tab at the top. There you will find the "Settings" button in the third section "AutoComplete".
- Now check the box under "User names and passwords for forms" in the dialog box that appears. If you want to make a new decision in each case, also mark the field below "Ask whether passwords should be saved".
- Confirm your setting in Internet Explorer with the "OK" button and then exit the "Internet options" overview window.
- Visit a page that asks you for a user ID or password and log in as you normally would.
- Then log off again immediately and place the cursor back in the input field for the user ID.
- If you now enter the first letter of your user ID, Internet Explorer will offer you a selection field in which your user ID is located. After you have selected this, Internet Explorer inserts the user ID and automatically fills in the associated password at the same time.
