You have asked to save a password when you first open an app. You often select the save password option since it eliminates the need to enter passwords repeatedly. It's also impossible to keep track of multiple passwords. As a result, conserving them saves not just time but also reduces hassle.

When you log into a different system, you're likely to forget your credentials. You might recall a couple of the accounts and passwords. However, if there are several accounts, remembering them all will be challenging. Possibly you are not aware of it, or you are seeking the saved password. For your convenience, passwords are saved in Internet Explorer.
