SUMMARY

Internet Explorer versions 5.0 and later allow customers to use AutoComplete to save user names and passwords for Web pages that they have visited. Because of security considerations, disabling the functionality may be required.

MORE INFORMATION

To disable this feature, Microsoft has developed Active Server Pages (ASP) scripting tags that suppress the AutoComplete functionality. The following Microsoft Developer Network (MSDN) Web Workshop articles outline these tags:
