Clear Web Passwords

Your IE or Firefox web browser may contain saved passwords for certain sites that you visit. It's often helpful to store this information on your computer because it can improve web browsing speed or automatically provide information so you don't have to type it over and over. However, you may want to delete that information if you're cleaning up your computer or are using a public computer and don't want any of your personal information left behind. If you want to clear saved passwords, or want to change them to new ones, it's easy to clear existing passwords from your web browser. Here's how:

Internet Explorer, Version 7
Select these menu choices: Tools/Internet Options/General
Then, in the section entitled "Browsing History" select the Delete button
The Delete Browsing History window opens; select the Delete Passwords button

Firefox, Version 3
Select these menu choices: Tools/Options/Privacy
Then, in the section entitled "Private Data" choose Settings
The Clear Private Data window opens; to clear your passwords, select the Saved Passwords choice
Click OK

Note: As browser versions change, the choices you click to delete saved passwords may change slightly. However, it's a good bet you'll always find it somewhere in Tools/Options.
