Passwords

The fifth and final section in the Delete Browsing History window deals with Passwords. When entering a password on a web page for something such as your email login, Internet Explorer will usually ask if you would like for the password to be remembered. If you choose for the password to be remembered, it will be stored by the browser and then prepopulated the next time you visit that web page.

To remove these saved passwords from your hard drive, click on the button labeled Delete passwords.... A message dialog will then appear asking Are you sure you want to delete all previously saved form passwords? Click on the Yes button. All saved passwords that you had previously entered via Internet Explorer are now permanently removed.
