Prompt to remember credentials in Internet Explorer...
Hey guys
This question is actually more related to .NET than it is to Umbraco but I hope it's ok to ask in here anyways.
I'm currently working on a site where there is a member-section one can login to see.
When I fill in the login form in Firefox I get prompted whether I want Firefox to remember my credentials or not.
Usually this stuff also works in Internet Explorer but on this solution it does not. And I can't really figure out why...
I have tested on diffrent machines and made sure that none of them had settings that disabled the function. I have never really seen this issue before since I think it's usually default to be prompted in IE also when there is an input field with the type set to "password"...But I don't know if there's a setting in ASP.NET somewhere that can cause this?
But it's the browser's own prompt I'm missing and wondering if there is something I can do about it. The one where the browser asks if you want it to remember your credentials...
Thanks for your tip even though I was aware of that part and have checked all the settings that I could find.
And it is'nt set to "don't ask again"...that's what is really confusing me. I have also tested on some of my colleagues machines where the settings are also right. And the prompt just does'nt appear.
If I try to login to another site in IE like twitter for instance I get the prompt...I have also deleted all private data in IE but that does'nt seem to do the trick either...
It's driving me nuts.
In my first post I forgot to mention that I have modified the login-script from the "umbracoUtilities" package and therefore the trick with the asp.net login control seems to be a no-go.
That post was exactly what I was looking for, but had no luck to find it myself. At least now I know what's the cause. Now I just need to figure out the best way to fix it.

Since you didn't specify, do you have the DisplayRememberMe set to true in the Login control?
Hi webangelo
Thanks for your reply. This could be a solution.
But it's the browser's own prompt I'm missing and wondering if there is something I can do about it. The one where the browser asks if you want it to remember your credentials...

This thread may be a clue as to why you're not seeing it. If you've told IE to NOT ASK AGAIN (sort of thing), then it won't prompt to save.

Hmm, the only other thing I found was this. Not sure that this will be very helpful, but it may lead you to other resources:

Good luck.
