Windows 7 Thunderbird doesn't remember login name and password

[Theresa_N]

When I go to sites I go to regularly, I could tell them to "remember" me. Now, under Windows 7, it won't remember me even if I tell it to. This happens every time. Is this a "security feature" of Windows 7?

Theresa, it sounds like you are facing an issue with website passwords not being remembered in Windows 7 even after instructing the browser to do so. This problem is not necessarily a "security feature" of Windows 7 itself, but it could be related to specific browser settings or issues with cookies and cache settings within the browser you are using. Here are a few troubleshooting steps you can try to resolve the issue: 1. Clear Browser Cache and Cookies: - Go to your browser's settings and clear the cache and cookies. This can often resolve issues with website login problems. 2. Check Browser Settings: - Make sure that the browser settings are configured to remember passwords. You can usually find this setting in the security or privacy section of the browser settings. 3. Check for Browser Updates: - Ensure that your browser is up to date. Sometimes, outdated browsers can have issues with remembering passwords. 4. Try a Different Browser: - If the issue persists, try logging in with a different browser to see if the problem is specific to the browser you are using. 5. Check Antivirus or Security Software: - Sometimes, third-party security software can interfere with the browser's password management features. Try disabling any security software temporarily to see if it resolves the issue. 6. Reset Browser Settings: - As a last resort, you can try resetting the browser settings to default. This will revert all settings to their original state and may help fix any misconfigured settings causing the problem. If these steps do not resolve the issue, please provide more specific details about the browser you are using (e.g., Internet Explorer, Chrome, Firefox) so that further assistance can be provided.
