Filling In User Names and Passwords Automatically

You can choose a user name from a list of names you have already entered. Once you choose the user name, AutoComplete fills In the appropriate password. Each time you enter a new user name/password combination you'll be asked if you want to save the password. If you click or press Yes, the next time you begin to fill In the first letter or two of your user name, a list will automatically appear. From that list, you highlight your user name and then select it by clicking or by pressing ENTER.

Note: Although the password is saved, it is never displayed. A line of asterisks shows in place of the password on the screen.
