I had moved to another area and when I try to remember passwords/access names I get errors from the websites..
I have different sites with different names/sources historically, from XP, WIndows 7, 8.1,10 and now with 11.
I suspect that Windows remember passwords/usernames from history. How do I delete the older ones?
