When you visit a website that requires you to sign in to your account—like an email, banking, or shopping site—Internet Explorer will ask if you want your user name and password remembered by storing this info for that website. The next time you visit the site and start entering your user name, Internet Explorer will finish filling in your account info.

Since this info is securely stored in Credential Manager as “Web Credentials” on whatever PC you’re using at the time, you should be careful about using AutoComplete to store passwords for websites on public or shared computers. When you’re using a public or shared PC, make sure AutoComplete and storing passwords for websites is turned off in IE11.

If you tried this on Windows 7 and came to the fact that your Windows doesn’t have Web Credential Manager, that is because it does not exist on Window 7! Windows 7 does not have web credential manager, it has a program called Windows Vault. Here are some details on Vault. Also, below are some additional uses which worked for a few users on some forums.

How To Use Windows 7 Credential Manager To Organize and Remember Passwords

1. Click the Start Menu Orb and Type in Windows vault, then Press Enter.

2. Once Windows Credential Manager loads up, you’ll need to select which type of password you want to save.

  • Windows Credentials: These are used to log into Windows-based systems on the network
  • Certificate-Based Credentials: Complicated and used for advanced system configurations
  • General Credentials: This type covers nearly all passwords for programs, websites, and services compatible with Windows Vault

In this example, we’ll use Windows Credentials to save the login information for another Windows computer on the local network. So Click Add a Windowscredential.

3. In the top line Type in either the network address or the computer name (e.g. PC-DellXPS) depending on how you like to organize your information. For me, I’m going to just type the local IP address. In the next line Type in the User name, and then under that Type in the Password for that windows machine. The username should be the user account name that is normally used to log into Windows 7.

That’s all there is to it! Now Windows Vault will store the credentials and help you automatically log into the network location. If you end up changing your credentials, you’ll need to go back into Windows Vault and change them there too. Just Click Edit under the appropriate stored credential, and it will let you change all of its settings.

To change and view passwords for IE11 in Windows 7:

Here are some additional steps you can try:
To change the saved login id and password for a website on Internet Explorer, please try these steps:
1. Type the first letter of your user name, auto-complete will bring up a box of choices.
2. Highlight the username you want to delete. Hit the “delete” key.
3. Another auto-complete window will pop up saying, “Windows has a stored password for this user name. Do you want to delete the username and password?”
4. Click, “yes”.
5. Close Internet Explorer and reopen.
6. Type your user name and password in the website.
7. When you proceed with signing in you will get a popup “Do you want to save this password?”
8. Click Yes, for that popup.

You can also try this:
Step 1: Download NirSoft’s IE PassView from here, a free software to view and backup passwords saved in Internet Explorer browser.Step 2: Extract the downloaded zip file to get IE PassView executable and then double-click on the same to run it.Step 3: Upon running IE PassView, it will scan the browser for saved passwords and displays URLs, usernames and their passwords.

Using IE PassView

IE PassView doesn't require any installation process or additional DLLs. In order to start using it, just copy the executable file (iepv.exe) to any folder like, and run it.After running iepv.exe, IE PassView scans all Internet Explorer passwords in your system, and display themon the main window.

Types Of Passwords

IE PassView utility can recover 3 types of passwords:
  • AutoComplete Passwords:When you enter a Web page that contains a form with user/password fields and a login button, Internet Explorer may ask you if you want to save the password, after pressing the login button.If you choose to save the password, the password is saved as AutoComplete password.
    Be aware that some Web sites (like Yahoo login page) deliberately disable the AutoComplete feature, in order to avoid password stealing by other users.
  • HTTP Authentication Passwords:Some Web sites allow the user to enter only after typing user and password in a separated dialog-box.If you choose to save the password in this login dialog-box, the password is saved as HTTP authentication password.
  • FTP Passwords:Simply the passwords of FTP addresses (ftp://...)

Password Storage Locations

Internet Explorer stores the passwords in different locations, depending on the version of IE, and the type of the password:
  • Protected Storage:The 'Protected Storage' is a special secret location in the Registry that was used to store all the passwords of Internet Explorer in versions 4.0 - 6.0
    The Registry location of the Protected Storage was HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftProtected Storage System Provider.Starting from version 7.0 of Internet Explorer, the Protected Storage is no longer used for storing passwords.
  • Registry (Storage2 Key):Starting from version 7.0 of IE, all AutoComplete passwords are stored in HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftInternet ExplorerIntelliFormsStorage2 Registry key.The passwords are encrypted with a key created from the Web site address, so it's not possible to get the password without knowing the Web site address.
  • Credentials File:Starting from version 7.0 of IE, HTTP authentication passwords are saved in the Credentials file of Windows,together with other network/login passwords.The Credentials file is located in the following locations:
    • Windows XP/2003: [Windows Profile]Application DataMicrosoftCredentials[User SID]Credentials and [Windows Profile]Local SettingsApplication DataMicrosoftCredentials[User SID]Credentials
    • Windows Vista: [Windows Profile]AppDataRoamingMicrosoftCredentials[Random ID] and [Windows Profile]AppDataLocalMicrosoftCredentials[Random ID]

Known Issues With Internet Explorer 7.0/8.0/9.0

Starting from version 7.0 of Internet Explorer, Microsoft completely changed the way that passwords are saved.In previous versions (4.0 - 6.0), all passwords were saved in a special location in the Registry known as the 'Protected Storage'.
In version 7.0 of Internet Explorer, passwords are saved in different locations, depending on the type of password.Each type of passwords has some limitations in password recovery:
  • AutoComplete Passwords:These passwords are saved in the following location in the Registry: HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftInternet ExplorerIntelliFormsStorage2
    The passwords are encrypted with the URL of the Web sites that asked for the passwords, and thus they can only be recovered if the URLs are stored in the history file.If you clear the history file, IE PassView won't be able to recover the passwords until you visit again the Web sites that asked for the passwords.Alternatively, you can add a list of URLs of Web sites that requires user name/password into the Web sites file (see below).
  • HTTP Authentication Passwords:These passwords are stored in the Credentials file under Documents and SettingsApplication DataMicrosoftCredentials, together with login passwords of LAN computers and other passwords.
    Due to security limitations, IE PassView can recover these passwords only if you have administrator rights.

Known Issue With Delete Items

Be aware that when you have a Web site that has multiple stored passwords, deleting the one of the passwords alsoremove all the other passwords for the same Web site.The reason for that is that all the passwords of a Web site are stored in the same entry.

Using The Web Sites File (iepv_sites.txt)

As explained earlier, IE PassView won't be able to retrieve the AutoComplete passwords of Internet Explorer 7.0 if the history of Internet Explorer is cleared.
If you know the exact URLs of Web sites that store user name and passowrd, you can add them into the Web Sites File - iepv_sites.txt, and then IE PassView will retrieve the passwords even if the URL cannot be found in the history file of Internet Explorer.
iepv_sites.txt is a simple text file that must be located in the same folder of iepv.exe.The URLs in the file should be separated by CRLF characters.A sample iepv_sites.txt file with a few URLs is already provided with IE PassView.

Reading IE7 - IE11 passwords from external drive

Starting from version 1.15, you can also read the passwords stored by IE7 - IE11 from an external profile in your current operating system or from another external drive (For example:from a dead system that cannot boot anymore).In order to use this feature, you must know the last logged-on password used for this profile, because the passwords are encrypted with the SHA hash of the log-on password, and without that hash, the passwords cannot be decrypted.
You can use this feature from the UI, by selecting the 'Advanced Options' in the Options menu, or from command-line, by using /external parameter. The user profile path should be something like 'C:Documents and Settingsadmin'in Windows XP/2003 or 'C:usersmyuser' in Windows Vista/2008.
