Internet Explorer can remember login passwords. This means that you don't have to re-enter them every time you visit a password-protected website. If you manage many passwords, you can save time by letting the browser fill in login forms automatically. You also don't have to remember passwords because Internet Explorer keeps track of them. It does this by using a function called AutoComplete. AutoComplete, by default, is disabled. You can enable it by using the browser's control panel.
