I recently visited a site that required me to logon. After receiving my account information, I went back to the site and enter my account and password, I was not paying attention and answered no when Internet Explorer asked if I wanted save my password. I looked around in Internet Explorer Options but could not find a way to save the password without deleting all saved passwords. How can make IE save the password?<\/em><\/p>\n

Internet Explorer 7 uses a feature called AutoComplete to store passwords and other information that you type into web form<\/span><\/a> fields when it is enabled. With AutoComplete for user names and passwords<\/span><\/a>, IE 7 will prompt you before saving the account information.<\/p>\n

If you select No<\/em>, Windows will record the site information in the registry, so Internet Explorer 7 will not prompt you again the next time you visit the site. Since IE does not provide any way to easily edit account\/password information, the fix<\/span><\/a> involves making an easy registry hack to modify the site that you answered No<\/em> for saving the password, while keeping all other information the same.<\/p>\n

NOTE:<\/strong> Follow the below steps exactly as specified and do not make any changes other than specified while in the Registry. Always create a System Restore point or backup of you Computer when making configuration changes.<\/em><\/p>\n

1. Close Internet Explorer<\/p>\n

2. Click on Start \/ Run\u2026<\/em> and in the run field type regedit<\/span><\/a><\/em> (you will need to have administrator rights to edit the registry)<\/p>\n

3. Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\Software\\Microsoft\\Internet Explorer\\IntelliForms\\Storage2<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/em>4. In the left window pane, select the Storage2<\/em><\/strong> key, then from the menu, select File \/ Export<\/em> and save the key to your Desktop with the File Name: oldstorage.reg<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/em> 5. In the right window pane select all values (except for Default<\/em>) then press Delete <\/em>and select Yes <\/em>to confirm value delete. Minimize Regedit.<\/p>\n

6. Open Internet Explorer and visit the web site whose password you want to save. When Internet Explorer asks if it should remember your password, answer Yes<\/p>\n

7. Logout of site and close Internet Explorer<\/p>\n

8. Return to Regedit and press F5<\/em> to refresh the list. Now, select the Storage2<\/em> key, then from the menu, select File \/ Export<\/em> and save the key to your Desktop with the File Name: newstorage.reg<\/em>
\n<\/em>
\n9. Select the Storage2<\/em> key again, then from the menu, select File \/ Import and select the oldstorage.reg<\/em> file (from the Desktop), and click Open to merge the data back into the registry. Click OK to acknowledge merge was successful.<\/p>\n

10. Select the Storage2<\/em> key again, then from the menu, select File \/ Import and select the newstorage.reg<\/em> file (from the Desktop), and click Open to merge the data back into the registry. Click OK to acknowledge merge was successful.<\/p>\n

11. Close regedit.
\nNow all your previously saved passwords will be preserved without wiping out the site you just created.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
