How do you delete the passwords that IE "saves" I am on a site that changes passwords monthly and want to remove the invalide passwords

If IE6 then.

Tools --> Internet Options --> Content --> AutoComplete --> Clear Passwords

I am using IE 5.0 and 5.5

On a side note, is anybody else not receiving an email when there is a reply?

I think IE5 and 5.5 have the same options available for the autocomplete, no?

Great learned something new. However, it looks like that will clear all my passwords vs. just one. Any ideas?

You might be able to find some third-party software tool on a shareware that can recover all your passwords. Then note down the ones you want to save before wiping them all out with the IE Clear option.

Other than that, IE won't give you the option to pick and choose.

This works for forms text boxes, perhaps will work for passwords?

Next time you visit a site where you have to log in, assuming that's what you mean, if you get a drop down menu from IE showing all your log ID in options, highlight the one you want to delete then hit the delete key. This will remove both the log in ID and corresponding password. In fact, anytime you have any log in field, you can start to enter an ID. When IE auto-completes it, just highlight and delete.
