What are the most common causes for web sites to NOT remember me  
(name/password) when told to do so by checking their web form?
 
In IE, I've got "Privacy" set to medium and "Override automatic cookie  
handling" unchecked.
 
It's a bummer to re-enter that stuff each time.
 
Thanks.

how about clicking 'remember me' or enabling auto compete, and check to see  
if you have IE set to clear cookies upon closing your browser?

For security reasons, a "bummer" is better.  Otherwise anyone who has physical access to
your PC can access your online accounts.  Is that what you want ?

Very true. They can hit the drop down arrow into a box where you've saved  
this info and theres your id & password.

Also, cookies are used to track web activity. A cookie manager is advisable  
as well as a password keeper, with which you can store and copy/paste all  
info you wish to insert on a web page. This makes the process a little  
easier and much more secure. It is, as you've stated, much *much* better to  
suffer the slight inconvenience rather than subject yourself to such risks  
as are involved.

Yes, that's what I want. Exactly what I want. In the words of some forgotten  
philosopher: "You bet!"
 
Let me rephrase my request: I would like for my machine to remember my  
account names and passwords. Period. Any consequences of this condition are  
completely irrelevant. I don't care, nor would anyone else.
 
No one has physical access to my computer. No one can access online accounts  
from my computer and, even if they could, I doubt they would gain much from  
being able to read the New York Times that they couldn't gain on their own.
 
Thank you for your concern, but it is entirely misplaced.

so then, did you read my post and try my suggestions?
again, enable auto complete, click on the 'remember me' option on your  
chosen sites, and check to see if your IE settings are set to 'clear cookies  
and temp files every time you close your browser.
From your IE toolbar, go to help>cookies> then click on each item under  
'cookies' to learn how each setting affects your browsing and the risks  
involved.
Autocomplete settings can be found on your tool bar>content tab.

Yes and yes.
 
But I wasn't responding to you.

But it *is* a valid question, to which you responded rudely. Ivee took the  
time to answer your question in a manner which *wasn't* "entirely  
misplaced", yet not only do you not have the basic social skills to say  
'thanks', you answer rudely and sarcastically. The irony is that, although  
your attitude suggests you believe you know it all, your responses to those  
who would help you reveals the reality, as does the simple nature of your  
question.
