My Windows 7 system used to save, and then supply, User Names and Passwords for the various web sites that I used. A box would open and ask if I wanted Windows to save the credential.

At some point I must have checked the box, "Don't ask again...", and it didn't! Where are my passwords? And how do I turn this function it back on? Help would be appreciated...

IE 8 hides passwords in the registry. Here is a handy little app (stand alone) that will allow you to see the passwords. The first link is the direct download page. The second link is the information page. After download, unzip and click on the executible file. I've used it without any problems.

Edit: I run 32bit W7. Can't vouch for 64bit.

But keep in mind that saving passwords in the browser is not safety. Not at all. One good spyware and all your passwords are in the wrong hands.

AXEN08 -

There does not seem to be any reference to passwords in the Security Tab menu... Any thoughts?

That seems to be the route in Firefox. To fix your problem go to:

Tools -> Internet Options -> Content -> Auto Complete and click on Settings -> Put ticks on things you want to be auto-filled.
