|
Instruct Internet Explorer to remember your "author's panel" sign-n password
There is a feature in IE (also one in Mozilla which will be documented later) that remembers your password. The first time you go to a site on the internet and enter your user ID and password, a box pops up asking you if you want the computer to remember this password. If you answered "no" to this prompt on any site (and especially if you clicked not to remember any passwords), you will not see this message again.
If you answer "yes", it remembers the password and ID each time you access your WriteandShow "book author sign-in" screen,, allowing you to proceed quickly to the author's panel.
If you answered "no" to the prompt in the past and have now decided that you want Internet Explorer to start remembering your password information for your author's panel, you can turn this prompt back on.
1. Click Tools at the top of IE
2, Select Internet Options
3. Choose Content
4. Under AutoComplete, click the Settings button.
5. You will see this screen:
6. As illustrated, click to select both of these password options:
| Quote: | Usernames and passwords on forms
Prompt me to save passwords |
7. You might need to exit IE completely for this mechanism to properly get re-set.
8. Go back to your author sign in window. This time when you log in, check the box "yes," when promted, telling the computer to remember your log-in.
From now on, it will auto-fill your username and password for you (you might have to type the first letter of your username and it will do the rest),. |
