Hello..First post.
When I log into one of my accounts, the password fills in automatically. There is nothing secure about that and I'd like to fix it.

Could someone provide some tips on how to do so? It's really appreciated.

Thank you..tk369

Which browser are you using? That would help us to tell you how to change the password autofill so that it no longer autofills.

True. If at one time you said 'Yes' to keeping your sign on, it will do so every time you go to that site. Look to your browser's preferences to clear that. Personally, I don't do that. Just a personal matter.

You can open Preferences>Security in Firefox and uncheck the box which says 'Remember passwords for Sites". You can also delete the passwords that are stored in that area. When you log in to a site you always get a box up in the left hand corner of the browser asking if you want Firefox to remember passwords for that site. Just make sure you check the 'Not now" box when it pops up.

That should clear it all up.

Thank you to all who took interest in my problem. Gandalph set me in the right direction and my account passwords no longer autofill. I am in Fat City!
