Remember My Password Doesn't Work
Greetings,First of all, I don't know if is an ie problem or a WSS problem, but here goes...Every time I log into WSS 3.0, I am asked to log in. I always click "Remember My Password", but it never does.Signing into a WSS site is unique in that a dialog box pops up. On all other web sites, I sign in using a web-based form. I probably have a hundred sites that I sign into, but this problem only occurs with WSS, which is why I'm thinking this might be a WSS problem.So, is there anyreason that "Remember My Password" doesn't work?Thanks,Shane.Windows Vista Home Premium SP2, Internet Explorer 8.0.6001.18783

Have you added this site to Trusted Sites in your browser?

No. "Require server verification (https:) for all sites in this zone" is enabled. And I thought Trusted Sites were only for secure sites (https). My site is not secure (http).Thanks,Shane. Windows Vista Home Premium SP2, Internet Explorer 8.0.6001.18783

Sorry, I'm an idiot for not checking thoroughly and just shooting from the hip there. Blame the mid afternoon coffee cooldown. I meant "Local Intranet".

First, please clear the cache file in IE. For IE6: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/ie6/using/howto/customizing/clearcache.mspx For IE7/8: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/260897 Second, you need to add your SharePoint site to Trusted Sites. In Internet Explorer, on the Tools menu, click Internet Options. On the Security tab, in the Select a Web content zone to specify its security settings box, click Trusted Sites / Local Intranet, and then click Sites. Clear the Require server verification (https:) for all sites in this zone check box. In the Add this Web site to the zone box, type the URL to your site, and then click Add. Click Close to close the Trusted Sites / Local Intranet dialog box. Click OK to close the Internet Options dialog box. Third, if you finish the previous 2 steps, IE still prompts for password. You need to double check the User Authentication in the Security Settings for your Trusted Sites / Local Intranet. In Internet Explorer, on the Tools menu, click Internet Options. On the Security tab, in the Select a Web content zone to specify its security settings box, click Trusted Sites / Local Intranet, and then click Custom Level. Scroll down to User Authentication, Logon, select the Automatic logon only in Intranet zone. Click Close to close the Trusted Sites / Local Intranet dialog box. Click OK to close the Internet Options dialog box. Forth, if all the above steps fails, you can try to re-install IE.

Why are people marking their own posts as the answer? Shouldn't that be the job of the person who started the thread?Shane.Windows Vista Home Premium SP2, Internet Explorer 8.0.6001.18783
