Hi, OldGrayGary!! Imagine seeing you here!!....:wavey:.....
Thank you so much for helping me with this problem. I'm having enough trouble with this old laptop! and here I go making even more problems for myself!!
As for remembering all my passwords, I'm probably on at least 75+ different websites, and I don't have the capacity to remember all those different logons!!!......LOL.....:angel:.....best to let the PC do that for me!!
Just so you'll know I don't use Edge. It has several features I don't care for, the most annoying one being--once the you fill up the Link area across the top, and they go "over the side" into the "drop-down over-flow" section, as I call it, you aren't able to sort them or organize them into any kind of order.
May not be a big deal for other folx, but for me and my wont for organizing it's annoying. At last count I had 42 Links, and with that many I need to be able to organize them into an order that makes sense to me and I can't do that with Edge.
So, I use IE 11, and am happy with it. It does everything I want, and does everything I ask of it. It also uses the Credential Manager in the Control Panel, so I'll see if the steps for Edge works for IE 11--right this minute.
OK, followed the instructions for Edge, and I've been where the instructions took me before. I do try to figure things out before I come here to the Forum, but nothing I've done to this point has changed the fact that I've told the Credential Manager never to save this particular website's logon again.
I've sent a screenshot of one of the instructions found at the website you sent me to show what I did. See the word "Remove" at the bottom of the example shown in the Credential Manager? I clicked that on that for my garden club's website thinking I was removing the password so I could set another one, because the garden club's "Forgot Your Password" feature wasn't working and I needed to get into the website to reply to a message I'd gotten.
However, that "Remove" command told the Credential Manager never to save the logon for that website again, and I'm just wondering if there is a way to reinstate the logon.
I'm beginning to think this isn't going to be possible. I think once the Credential Manager has been told never to save a logon for a particular website, there's no way to reverse that.
Oh, well, all is not lost. I've been thinking about going back to Norton Antivirus and this is just the impetus I need to do that. Their ID Safe has the ability to reinstate a logon once it's been put on the "do-not-save-this-logon-again" list. I bought Norton 360 antivirus many years ago, right after it came out because it was the first (or what I thought was the first) antivirus which had an ID Safe for logons for websites.
The 360 was for multiple PCs but I bought it anyway simply for that ID Safe feature even though I only had one computer at the time. As I stated earlier, I'm on a fairly large number of websites and this fact makes it impossible to remember all the logons. Well, maybe I should restate that--I don't want to remember 75+ logons....lol...:smile: I suppose if I put my mind to it I could, but there just are too many other things to remember in this life time and logons aren't high on my list of priorities.
OK, so that's that, and I'll see about getting Norton, again. I stopped my subscription for the 360 years ago because it got really expensive--it was for 3 PCs, after all, and I only had one at that time. However, I now have a desktop and a laptop, so it makes sense to get it again.
Thanks, again, Old GrayGary, and I'll go over to the other thread, now, and go over your last answer to it, again. I read it late last night but was too sleepy to spend the time needed to answer.
