How our e-mail password stores in to our system ?

When we log out our password is taken out of the system and there is no place where we can actually see our password.
Almost any service we use (gmail, rediffmail, yahoomail etc) has the option to REMEMBER our password so we do not have to enter it when we sign in to a particular site. In this case all we will see is "xxxxxxx".
The below description is how we can  REMOVE those that are remembered, but if we read it correctly it shows us where to go if we do want them remembered.

INTERNET EXPLORER :

Click on TOOL...INTERNET OPTIONS...CONTENT TAB. Once in go below and click on SETTINGS for Auto Complete. Click on "delete autocomplete history" and then OK. Once this is done you might want to place a check mark in the box to the left of "user names and passwords on forms" AND "ask me before saving passwords". That way you can save the passwords you want and deny those that you do not. Then click OK. .

FIREFOX : 

Click on TOOLS...OPTIONS....PRIVACY TAB...go below and make sure there is a check mark in the box to left of "clear history when Firefox closes" and then click on SETTINGS. Place a check mark in the box to the left of "saved passwords"...click OK
There may be times you want to save passwords so you can click on TOOLS...OPTIONS ..SECURITY tab...go below and place a check mark in the box to the left of "remember passwords for sites"..click OK. You will be given options of remembering this password or not.

GMAIL :

You may sometimes be logged in or have your login information displayed automatically because your username and password are stored in your browser's cache or settings.
If you don't want 'AutoComplete' to automatically log you in to Gmail, please follow these steps:

For Internet Explorer 6:

1. Click the Tools menu at the top of your browser, and select Internet Options.
2. Open the Content tab at the top of the dialogue box.

4. Click OK.

For Internet Explorer 7:
1. Click the Tools menu at the top of your browser, and select Internet Options.
2. Open the Content tab at the top of the dialogue box.
3. Click AutoComplete, then Settings button, and uncheck the User names and passwords on forms and Prompt me to save passwords boxes.
4. Click OK.

GOOGLE CHROME :
 Click the Tools menu tools menu.
1. Select Clear browsing data.
2. Select Empty the cache and Delete cookies.

To ensure that your data isn't saved when you sign in, please remember to leave the box next to Stay signed in unchecked on the Gmail sign in page
