thanks but i tried this and it also deletes all of my useful info such as customer numbers etc for shopping! is there any other way via gmail settings or something like that?

Go to the specific page, click in where it gives you the option on the drop down list. Hover your mouse over the option you want rid of, and press the delete key (not the backspace key, the one that actually says "delete" on it)

Should get rid of that option on most browsers.

nope, it just keeps coming up again, even though it appears to be deleted!

try just deleting the autocomplete then (if you can).... may do it for you

just tried that and it still keeps offering the username and password when i try to login - must be something i can do!!! i did think about changing my passwords but i forget them enough as it is.............

this is really, really useful but the problem is that at some point i typed in my password immediately after my login for gmail and the system has remembered this so what i need to be able to do is to remove the option for the site to suggest a range of logins (that i have previously entered) and start again
thanks

Which browser are you using?

katykitten

erm - internet explorer but thats all i know and vista - i can find out though if you tell me how

I don't use IE so I know nothing about it, sorry.

The only thing I can think of is typing the first letter of the username in, using the down arrow until you're on the username and then pressing deleted, but that's already been suggested.
