Banking software
hi,
On most of my computers, I have the internet options set to delete browsing history.
Am I right that this is the culprit which is preventing my banking software from remembering me? Each time I use it, I need to send myself a temporary password because the banking site says it does not recognize my computer.
How can I control this, and selectively allow the configuration to allow the software to recognize my computer?
I use MS IE - in varying version depending on the computer

you know I responded too quickly.
if I am understanding
' in private" correctly, this feature is turned on at the start of each browsing session. and in that case, I am not using it. so frequently I see it when using MS IE on the " new tab", but am I right to say that if I accept it for any particular session, it only applies to that session?
is the concept we are discussing the same reason that Experts-exchange sometimes asks me who I am , and my password. does that translate to these two websites asking me for "cookies" ?

if I accept it for any particular session, it only applies to that sessionI think so... but I never use "In Private" browsing. As a web developer, I need to see the cookies and other things that "In Private" browsing blocks and/or deletes. Submitting your username and password causes a cookie to be set in your browser and it works that way on all the web sites that I know of.
If you delete all of your cookies, you will be asked again so the web site can set the cookie that says you're logged in.
