Internet Explorer forgot all my passwords after migration

Document number: 19049

 

Auto-fill of remembered passwords in Internet Explorer, MSN messenger, Outlook Express will not be transferred as part of the migration.  This is a security feature from Microsoft.  It does not allow copying of the files containing the passwords. The remember password feature is inherently insecure and you should not use it in most instances.  For more information on this feature see Eureka! document 19010 — Internet Explorer cached information and autocomplete.
