User name and password not remembered

Passwords not used in Firefox 2.0.0.2 or 1.5.0.10

A fix for a security problem had the unintended side effect of not filling in the password if you have multiple passwords saved for that site. This bug was fixed in Firefox 2.0.0.3 and 1.5.0.11 - upgrade your browser to these versions or higher.[1]

Sites prohibit password saving

Some websites, for example Hotmail, Yahoo! Mail, and some banks, specify that your username and password should not be saved. You can override this behaviour.

Using a bookmarklet

1. Bookmark the "remember passwords" link on this page.
2. Go to the log in page of the site you want to save your details.
3. Enter your login and password, but do not submit.
4. Open the bookmark you just made. (Nothing will appear to happen).

On subsequent visits, your user name and password should be filled in.
