<ol>
<li><b>Passwords Saved:</b> Click this tab to view the list of sites for
which Password Manager has saved your user name and password&mdash;that is,
the sites for which you selected &quot;Yes&quot; in response to Password
Manager&apos;s request to store logon information.</li>
<p>The second column shows the user name for each site. If the password is

your choice.</li>
<li>To hide the passwords, click Hide Passwords.</li>

visit that site.</p>
<li><b>Passwords Never Saved:</b> Click this tab to view the list of sites
for which you selected "Never for this site" in response to Password
Manager&apos;s request to store logon information.</li>
<p>If a site is included on this list, you will always have to type in your
user name and password manually when you log onto the site.</p>
<p>If you remove an entry from this list, Password Manager will again ask
you, the next time you log onto the site, whether to store your user name
and password.</p>
</ol>
<p>Regardless of which tab you are viewing, you can remove entries from the
list as follows:</p>
