How Do I Stop My Password from Showing Automatically?

user name and password fill in automatically

When you go to a website where you have to login, does your user name and password fill in automatically?

If you are the only one who uses your computer, it may not be an issue. But if you share the computer an/or have only profile, then you may want to disable the auto fill of your user name and passwords.

Computers in public places like hotels, librarys, business centers, etc, may have the browser set up to remember passwords, either by ignorance and leaving the default settings or by unscrupulous employees.

Here is how to stop Internet Explorer and Firefox from remembering your user name and password

Internet Explorer (IE)

Open Internet Explorer.

  • Click Tools and select Internet Options.
  • Select the Content tab.
  • Click the Settings button under AutoComplete.
  • Clear the check box beside the User names and passwords on forms option.
  • Click OK.

Firefox

  • Open Firefox.
  • Click Tools and select Options.
  • Select the Security tab.
  • Clear the check box beside the Remember passwords for sites.
  • Click OK.

Firefox fills in password
