password save

[KevinP]

When I go the main DCM site and log in, my username brings up ....... as password.  When I click login, it tells me that the pw I am using doesn't match the pw on file, so I have to delete the .s and type in my pw.  Apparently it has an old or incorrect pw on file, but it doesn't give the option to remember the correct one, so I have to do this every time.  I can still log in, but in the words of Sir Topham Hatt, it causes confusion and delay. (The number of .s matches the number of letters in my pw, so it's possible it is remembering right but some other issue is causing the problem.)  How can I set it to remember my correct pw?

I'm not sure but I think it might be a cookie on your system remember it.
Our cookie starts with 'rwd_' if you are looking for it.

IE and FireFox also both offer to remember it.  In FFox it's under Tools-Options-Security.
You can tell it to delete your PW for DCM and resave it later with the proper entry.
I'm pretty sure IE offers the same thing.

I'll try that, but this is the third computer it happens on.

BTW, I'm planning on changing my e-ddress and username for most sites.  How hard would it be to change my DCM username?

For the password, when you type it in right, doesn't it ask you if you want to save that one?  But yeah, clearing out the password in the options should do it.

Usernames...the name you sign in with is pretty much stuck, but there's an option on your profile for what displays.  Of course, people won't recognize you for a while, as I found out...

Moon, it might be easier to just let us handle changing your email and user name.
Send me a Private Message with the new info and I'll take care of it.
