In Internet Explorer when you visit a web page that is protected with password, Internet Explorer may ask you if you want to save the password, after pressing the login button. If you choose to save the password, the password is saved as Auto Complete password. If your windows account is not password protected & its used by multiple user then its not very safe to use the IE Auto Complete password feature. Anyone can use a tool like IE Password Password Recovery Tool & get your password & user ID that you have saved in IE Auto Complete. You can Use Free Robo Form Portable which will Auto Complete your login form & keep your password safe.
