Same thing with me. It USED to save all my login credentials to my daily internet sites then one day it stopped autofilling. Now, everytime I log into my sites I have to retype my user name and password. I have full explored Internet Options, set all settings to the lowest. When I lauch my IE browser, it still makes me login liek I ahve never been there before BUT it promts me to save them and I say yes. I then close my browser and relaunch in and guess what, it still makes me login like I never was there. Im ready to scream. Please help

Yes, thanks Paul and Anon it works great. I've been looking a tip for 3-4 weeks and that is the answer. I can make a little enhancement : instead of HKU \ S-1-5-21-796845957-926492609-725345543-1003 \Software \ .... ( I don't have that GUID) select HKCU \ Software \ .... the key for current user.
Great job. Thanks again !
Great job. Thanks again !
I am glad there are smarter people out there, but why doesn't some one contact the company who is providing these programs that mess up our days and tell them to fix this problem? I am not as quick with computers, and if I could understand how to fix this problem, I would do so. I have a disability and I need to do things over and over to get it, plus I don't live on my computer and need to get this fixed. I would thank any help on the process to correct some one else s mess up.
Sorry guys I should have added that my "long big number" (as Roka so eloquently described it) was also different than what Paul said it would be however again as Roka says it will be different for everyone. Even so it worked for me so should work for you too as long as you ignore the fact that the "long big number" will be different.
Now then......how do I find this 'Paul' person and buy him a pint as a mark of thanks!

I tried all those things and nothing worked. Here's what did (Firefox). Go to tools, options,and then privacy. Click on settings next to the history box at the bottom. Uncheck everything you don't want cleared each time Firefox closes--I only want it to clear my cache so that's the only box I checked. Hope this helps--now when I open Hotmail I not only don't have to sign-in but it also goes straight to my Inbox. Not sure why the settings suddenly changed on me, but they did.
BikerSk8rKid:
It looks as if everyone's big long number is different, so look for the appropriate registry link, use the one without "_Classes" at the end and follow the instructions from there.
Mine needed changing (so I hope this solves my problem), but another computer I just checked didn't.
Thanks for the registry solution!

The long big number is your SID 8Security Identifier, it's unique to each user.
Thank you for the post though, helped me with another plaguing issue unrelated but this is the answer!

Hi guys,
add me to the list. I have a Mac running XP under Parallels virtual machine and it started losing saved credentials approx 3 or 4 weeks ago.
I tried almost everything peeking in the system registers but came up with nothing.
Only thing I noticed is if I just LOG OUT and then log back in, it WON'T lose username/password.
It's when I REBOOT that all the saved credentials are wiped out.
A nice new virus or just a bug coming with the latest Windows update?

Another workaround if IE won't save login details for some sites is simply to add the info to the url in your bookmark:
http://username:password@www.website.com
http://username:password@www.website.com
I have windows XP and internet explorer
This is what I did and it worked llike a charm for me.
Go to Tools / Internet options / Open content tab / In Auto complete click on settings and make sure these options are enable with a check mark in the box.
Address bar ...Browsing history...Favorites....Forms and User name passwords on forms.
Hope this help

If you are talking about Firefox.....
I had the same problem for ages.
Solution for me: TURN OFF PRIVATE BROWSING! (Tools, Options, Privacy). I did this, visited all my regular sites where I enter username and password, entered them, firefox offered to remember & I accepted. Then if you want private browsing back on you can do so and it will still remember your login details. Job done ;-)

Best of luck. I'm waiting on a solution as well...
