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

I just want to punch a damn hole right through my monitor. I have the EXACT same issue as you. I HATE vista so far; I wonder if the OS is the culprit?

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

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?

Lorenzo

I'm having the exact same problem. Started a couple of months ago. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox. Its very annoying and of course you can't get a human to help. I'm hoping its a glitch they will fix. SOON.

Everyone, just want to share the love
the culprit is yahoo toolbar, in my case after instaling yahoo messenger (with yahoo toolbar automatically), that's when this problem started occuring.

luckily this guy has the solution
use his small program and voila problem solved

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

Yeah, that's an excellent option if you don't mind your password being discoverable by anyone with access to your bookmarks!
