My AOL email "username/PASSWORD remembered" option has today stopped WORKING, although still listed in the tools/remembered password list.  I can gain access by manually entering details - that's no problem. although a bit frustrating.  Other passwords seem to be OK.  The only thing I can think of that may have affected things is a Java update downloaded today (advised by Secunia PSI automatic check).  My browser is Firefox, sometimes IE, both affected.  I have Windows Vista Home Premium SP2 - Java 6 update 17.

Any suggestions appreciated.Check that cookies are enabled in BOTH browsers. Sometimes, if they're different, it changes SPORADICALLY. Thanks for reply Helpmeh -

Cookies seem to be enabled ok - still have the problem.

I now notice two icons in the AOL sign-in area with "Choose your provider" noted underneath.
What does this mean?  Also , if I click the sign- in box (with nothing entered) I get "enter a value for your email, screen name, or ICQ UIN"
And you're sure you've checked "Remember me" or something to that matter? Once you sign out, it removes the "remember me" cookie. I've checked all the relevant boxes - still no joy.

I don't know why it should suddenly not remember - always been ok before.  I will have to contact AOL - it must be something to do with their service.

Thanks again for your interest.
