Remembering name and password

[DeN]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.basics (More info?)

I'm using Windows XP HE
When I want to log to Yahoo to get my mail it does not remember my
name or password. Each time I must write my e-mail address then my
password.

I don't have this problem with an other mail server I also use; with
the first letter of my e-mail address, e-mail address are proposed and
with the right e-mail address the password is automatically written.
..
Maybe it's related to the fact that all cookies are erase when I close
my browser *but* why is the problem only with Yahoo and not with all
the others name & password I use.

Is there a solution ?

You found the solution. Your password is saved as a cookie.

Hi John,
I concluded that remembering the name & password were a function of
windows XP since with my other e-mail address with an other server I
don't have this problem.

So, it doesn't work that way :-(

Den, for security purposes, some sites do not cache cookies for this type
of thing and they require the user to logon each and every time. Nor do
they allow AutoComplete to cache the logon/passwords.

I see the same thing with my comcast service. If I go directly to the
comcast mail site, I have to log in manually to read mail. I can avoid that
by using an email program configured to log me on when checking for mail.

You should check with Yahoo to see if this is the case with their email
servers or not.

Everything in IE seems Ok there is even a line that says to always
allow cookies from yahoo.com
On the other hand I instructed AvantBrowser not to delete the cookies
went closing.

Even then the windows where I write my e-mail address seems to be dead
whether I use AvantBrowser or IE

Very strange situation.
