How to Remove a Saved Password for an FTP Site

When you log into an FTP site using a web browser, many times the password you used will be saved on that browser. This is because your browser is usually automatically set to temporarily save passwords, temporary files and cookies. It's very simple to reset your browser and delete all the temporary files, and as a result delete the password for your FTP site. Once you have done this, your password will no longer be saved.
