"Hello. My name is Luis Estrada. I'm a software developer. In this video I'll show you how to manage passwords with Safari. Safari is a registered trademark of Apple Incorporated. I have no affiliation with Apple. Safari can store the user name and passwords of websites that you use. For example in this website I will provide a user name and password to log in. Safari then asks whether I want to store this information. I will press OK. This functionality saves you some time if you visit a site frequently. If you have many accounts on different web sites then you don't have to remember the log in information for each one; however if you share your computer with other people generally it's a bad idea to have Safari or other browsers store your user names and passwords. To delete passwords select Edit, Preferences, then Auto Fill options. If you select the Username and Passwords option Safari will auto fill those fields whenever you access a log in page of a determined website. Click on Edit for a full list of passwords that Safari has saved. In the left column is the website that asks for the log in information and in the right the user name associated to an account on that sight. As you can see there's no column for the password field which for security reasons is not displayed; however it is stored. Select any of the usernames and press the delete button or select delete all. I'm Luis Estrada and I've just showed you how to use your web browser."
