Re: Where are account passwords stored?

Vista SP1 here..
If I delete cookies for any site accessed in IE(bank, broker etc) that supports IE' autocomplete function, those are lost. Some
sites always regardless of IE's settings require username/pw entry upon access.
I've yet to incur any loss of previously set username/pw in OL07 or Live apps using the WL Sign-in assistant with the default
LiveID or an optional selectable alternate Live ID.
