BleepingComputer.com: Question about auto complete in IE7

I inadvertently saved a wrong password into IE and instead of prompting me when I put the correct password in, it's not. So every day, I start to type in my user name and it auto completes and puts in the incorrect password, and I type in the correct one. I don't know if it's Vista or IE 7 but in IE 6, if I made a mistake, it would ask me next time around because it was a different password. I know I can "clear" the settings in tools but I don't really want to do that since I've already saved some other passwords. I've only had this Vista system for three days. So is this a glitch in IE 7, maybe?

Hi,

I've done that myself before too, and this is what I did to fix it...there may be a more technical way, but this fixed it for me.

in the box where you type your user name - click inside the box and a 'subbox' for want of a better description shows up with your user name in it - mouse over that user name till it is highlighted then press your delete button on your keyboard while the name is highlighted

a box will pop up that says

Quote

say yes.
Then type in the correct user name and password and your correct one will then be saved.

Hope this helps
