Question Posted Friday July 18 2008, 9:40 pm

Hello.

On sites like Advicenators, and Myspace, you know how when you click the box where you type your username of email, a list of names of the accounts you've already logged in to comes up?

Is there any way to delete a username OFF of that list? Or do you have to delete them all? [Because I always type too fast and spell mine wrong so there are a ton of random ones on there]


Thanks!

In firefox, go to tools, options, security, show passwords. Select the username/password that you want to delete and click "remove".

For IE and Opera, try es's method (below). If that doesn't work, then I don't think there's a way to selectively delete passwords.

this will work for some sites but possibly not for others :

double click on the space where you usually sign in to get the list of usernames enterted to show up, you can also do this by pressing the first letter of your username. Then with your keeppad hit the down arrow and go down to the username you wish to remove and click the "delete" key. again this works on some sites but not others.
if you wish to delete ALL the usernames entered go to your tools menu, internet options and under "browsing history" and then "form data" to delete them all.

If you have Firefox, go to "Tools" and go down to "Clear Private Data", and then check off "Saved Passwords" and then hit "Clear Private Data Now", and it should get rid of them.

I'm not sure about it for IE, but I'm sure it's similar to that.
