    Cookie Implant or something to make IE 10 remember password?

    For some reason, IE 10 is not prompting me to remember or autofill my Facebook user name and password. I think I typed it in incorrectly one time, and ever since, it never asks again. IE prompts and remembers other websites. Is there a place IE stores passwords where I could insert one associated with my FB login, or at least reset something so it'll ask again?

    I couldn't find a cookie for FB to delete, thinking that would reset things (as a matter of fact, my Temporary Internet Files folder only shows 12 cookies, which I thought was very strange)

    BTW, my Internet Explorer Privacy and Security settings are medium high

    Do you have "keep me logged in" checked?

    I believe I always make sure that box is checked, but I'll see when I get to work. I use LastPass on my home computer to remember all my passwords, but it was causing a conflict with IE8 on my work computer, so I uninstalled it there.

    It always keeps itself checked, but wont auto login, remember password, or prompt to remember my login. Windows does prompt for other sites though.

    I apologize if it seemed like a lame question; just want to start simple and work up from there. :)

    How do your auto fill settings look? I'm guessing they're fine since you're not having problems on other sites, but you can try unchecking and checking the appropriate fields, then click OK.

    Thanks Prostar,
    My settings look just like your picture. I just didn't want to accidently flush all the passwords IE has remembered, but will try unchecking the Remember all user names and passwords on forms bog, logging in, logging of and re-checking the box.

    Wasn't it...maybe a FB glitch? (guess that is redundant)
