When you tick the box on a website for it to remember your password, is it the computer that remembers it, or the website? I keep ticking the 'remember my password' box on the mountain training website, and it never remembers it.

Usually it is your web browser that remembers it.

In reply to Coel Hellier:

so why does it remember it on some sites and not others?

In reply to girlymonkey:

Your browser remembers it, but you may have it set to delete cookies when it exits.

It could be a work computer, some wont let you store any online passwords.

But it remembers some, and not others. It's obviously not the end of the world, but it does mean I have to go searching through my email every time I want to log in.

In reply to girlymonkey:

There is an obvious solution to your problem and I'm sure you don't need me to spell it out....

In reply to Fraser:

Except every site seems to require a password in a different form...

In reply to girlymonkey:

I used to rely heavily on the remember me functionality. Then one day I had a clean out and accidentally deleted passwords. I now use

http://www.passpack.com

I can't recommend it enough and it is uber secure.

Have you tried using the mountain training website?! It's the worst website ever created. They sent me an impossible password, and tell you to change it to suit yourself. I did that, and then it didn't work and I locked myself out of the system trying to get it to work. This is only one of the many many many issues I have had with the site. I like the idea of getting everything online, but it needs a lot of work!!

In reply to girlymonkey:
It is the browser that remembers it.

This means that I can log into the same website with different passwords by using a different browser, e.g. IE and Firefox.

The reason some sites remember it and not others is usually security based - fields can be defined so they don't remember data that was typed into them, forcing you to re-type your password every time.

It could just be a crap site developer, in this case!
