Where does Internet Explorer save your passwords depending on the version?
This particular version-independent web browser chooses to save the passwords it manages in the Windows credential manager . What changes with each version is the way to access this section of the computer.
The most standard procedure is where, first, the Internet Explorer browser is opened, and then go to the wheel or gear that identifies the configuration option, this is located on the right side, above the window.
Once there you will be able to visualize, in the box that is displayed, the Internet options button, then the content button appears, which will load the autocomplete option, this is where you will click. As soon as you click, Internet Explorer will open the Windows Credential Manager window.
Now, when you are in the administrator, if the list with the passwords is not displayed, you must click the button to manage the passwords , then to web credentials and in this way, you will have all the saved passwords at hand.
In the event that you want to see a password for a specific website , click on it, and then click on the link shown with the word ‘Show’ located right in a link with the password field . This is a potential reason that when you do this, Windows will ask you for your user account password to access the content.
Microsoft Edge
This browser developed by Microsoft , maintains a three-point menu in the upper right part of the screen, in this section is where you can see the saved passwords. So when you are there, click on settings.
You enter the advanced configuration option, then you must scroll down and click on password management , there will appear the list of all the passwords that you have saved so far.
Internet Explorer 11 or 10
In these two versions of Internet Explorer , you can see the passwords saved with the same procedure, you just have to go to the Windows control panel, then go to the user accounts, there click on credential manager, and continue to the web credentials tab.
In this section you will not only be able to see the passwords by clicking on the ‘Show’ tab, but also the user used in each website where you gave the consent to manage the passwords. To make sure that it is the correct username and password, you can click the arrow icon next to the URL to check the data.
How to remove a specific password?
Its procedure is similar to that of displaying the passwords previously explained, so you just have to open the tools menu or browser settings, select in the Internet options, click on content, and go to autocomplete, there should appear ‘ Manage Passwords’ , then select ‘Web Credential Manager’.
Right there, the option is displayed next to an arrow, to delete the website you want linked of course to the password and the user. Then you sink in the delete tab and this specific password will no longer be there.
What should you do to delete all the saved password data?
Deleting all the data from saved passwords has the same procedure as deleting a specific password, therefore, you must open the tools menu, select the internet options tab, click on content, and then on autocomplete.
Once you are in this section, you must sink the delete history button , which is basically what differentiates it from deleting only a password, because when it comes to the history, we would be eliminating the browsing data in the same way.
For this reason, it will reset all the settings you have made, such as denying the consent to save passwords, so do not be surprised if the browser insists again when you log in to the web pages, since, when you delete the history, it is lost all data.
Do you want to disable the option to save your passwords?
You know well that when you visit a website that requires a login, such as email, bank accounts or some other, Internet Explorer asks you whether or not to remember the password next time or not next to the user.
But not only does it give you an option, but it displays three available options, namely the affirmative one that, if selected, you give Internet Explorer permission to save the password for the website in question, so the next Once you try to access, you will no longer need to enter any data, as the browser will only auto-complete the information.
If you give the second option, which is negative, you deny Internet Explorer the power to save the data, that is, the password and the user on that specific website. But what really matters to be able to completely disable the option to save passwords is to select the third one.
This third cites the sentence of ‘Do not ask again’ , which obviously transmits not asking to remember the password again, in this way you will be disabling the option on that website. Or, on the contrary, you can do it from the autocomplete settings, where it is disabled for user names and passwords for forms.
