I prefer to enter my password for every site I log into. How do I disable or turn off the feature that always prompts me to Save a Password or Never Save a Password? I don't want to be prompted.

You'd think that would be the setting that fixes it ((Tools) > Options -> Security = uncheck Remember password for sites), but it doesn't :( I tried clearing my history/cookies, I tried restarting/rebooting.

Can you attach a screenshot that shows such a prompt?

  • Use a compressed image type like PNG or JPG to save the screenshot
  • Make sure that you do not exceed the maximum size of 1 MB
