Fill In User Names and Passwords Automatically

To save time and keystrokes, you can use AutoComplete to fill in user name and password information. Each time you enter a new user name/password combination you'll be asked if you want to save the password. If you select 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 select the user name you want to use and the corresponding password information is automatically entered.
