How to Clear a Saved Screen Name in an AOL Sign in Page
Because the AOL Web site uses cookies on your computer, once you sign into your account, the screen name is likely to be saved in the username box. The benefit of this is that you don't have to type your username everytime you want to log into AOL. However, if you want to clear your saved screen name due to security concerns or other reasons, you can easily do so by tweaking a few settings in your Internet browser.
