IE8 looses passwords and users ?

[Sven]

From time to time my IE8 is resetting all usernames and passwords, I have selected to be rememberd.
How can I avoid that?
It does not seems to be in a specific time-order, or when I do something special (not that I know of)

That was a big problem with the older Win7 builds but was sorted out with the new builds. Suggest finding the RTM if you want the problem to go away.

I'm using build 7264. Is that an "older build"? I thought that IE8 was updated by Windowsupdate so that it would be the same nomatter which build of Win7 it is installed to?

I have the same problem and im using the RTM

 

[SoylentGeek]

Same here.

Been searching everywhere for an answer.

Somethign I do notice is that it seems to always happen after a Windows Defender update.

I wonder if that is resetting cookies?

7264 is an older build and yes I had constant loss of cookie problems with IE when using the older builds. There were no updates that fixed it far as I know. It was a big problem for everyone using the older builds. Sign in cookies would vanish into thin air along with a bunch of other stuff. It was a PITA.

Then start another thread and ask for help. I do not have those problems any more with the 7600.

OK, I will try to disable Windows Defender and see if the problem goes away

And this kids, if why we don't use I.E

 

[Sven]

Any news on this error? I found out, that it only happens in 32bit IE8. The usernames and passwords in 64bit don't do this, but there are no flash in 64bit, so a lot of things are missing in this.

Pass Words

I quit fighting it and installed Keepass (free).

 

[Zardoc]

A lot of users have reported this issue. One of the culprits is CCleaner. If you don't have the latest version, please update it.

[Sven]

I don't use CCleaner at all, so this is not the fix.
Defender is disabled.

I don't know what else to try??

That looks interesting! I did not know about this program

****, it did it again in my IE8. Every single username and password is "unknown" in IE8 now, in all the forums and sites I log into ... except my username in my homebank ?!?!?!

Is there still not a fix for this annoying thing? If Microsoft can make a complete Windows 7, why can't they fix this?

 

[hbh12]

go to "Tools/Internet Options/GeneralTab/BrowsingHistory"
and change the configurations like on this image
it helped me keep password storage

 

[Sven]

OK, that was a new solution +rep

Like Burgurne I also has this annoying problem. Maybe somebody will figure out where to make a change i reg.database to avoid IE8 to delete usernames and passwords on this timelimit.
