IE 11 Win 7

I would like to STOP IE from asking me if I want to save a password everytime I enter a secure site. I don’t want any passwords saved. I keep telling it that, but it keeps asking me.

I can’t find it under IE tools advanced. What have I missed?

You should have a check box on the pop-up that says something like “Don’t ask this again”.

Yes, thank you. I check it and it keeps asking.

It does get annoying. I suspect that when I clear cookies and such, it just keeps coming back. I’ll try again.

Tools, Internet Options, Content tab, AutoComplete Settings, uncheck ‘User names and passwords on forms’.

I want it to remember the names, just not the password. 🆒
