My banks new website took and kept my password so it pops up everytime the first letter is typed. It is NOT on my Firefox password list in Options and Security. I called the bank and they say it is the web browser that is making the password pop up. What can I do to stop it from popping up. THere is nothing on the bank website to manage this

Thanks so much. Just deleting them worked. Sounds so simple.

Why does it keep saving the password. I continue to have to do as you said in the prior reply, delete it. It keeps coming back after the next time I use it. Is there a way to permanently keep it from coming up? I looked in the Tools, Security section and did not find a cookie for that specific website. I don't want to delete all of them though.

Are you talking about an obscured (***) password field or a name field?

No the actual word with letters

Items that show as readable text are possibly saved as form data.
