How to make IE remember login details?

Question

For some odd reason IE no longer will remember previously typed in usernames/passwords on our login screen. IE8 will remember the username only and then the password still needs to be typed in, but IE6 and IE7 don't fill in either. And of course it works fine in Firefox/Chrome/Safari/etc.

(And yes, I've already checked my preferences and they are set correctly.)

Is there something specific on an <input> or the <form> itself that triggers IE to prompt the user to remember the login details?

Answer 1

is autocomplete="off" set on the form?

Answer 2

Not that I'm aware of - has someone pressed "don't prompt to remember passwords again" lately ?

I actually think there may be a non standard attribute to disable the automatic remembering of the password. But this seems to be the inverse of what you want.

Answer 3

Is the login page sent out over HTTPS? That would prevent login information from saving.
