13. One thing you CAN do is to disable "AutoComplete"
AutoComplete is a feature in Microsoft Internet Explorer.

If you are using Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0 or higher on a Windows platform your information and PINs may automatically fill in. This is a feature of this browser version that works much like the later versions of Microsoft Word where the application automatically complete words that you have typed before and use frequently. It is strongly recommend that you disable it when accessing sites that contain sensitive or confidential data.

To disable the AutoComplete feature for version 5.0 and higher:

Go to the Tools menu option of your browser and select Internet Options.
A dialog box will appear with six tabs across the top, click on the Content tab.
Click on the "AutoComplete" button in the Personal Information section at the bottom.
A dialogue box called "AutoComplete Settings" will appear, deselect the "User name and password on forms" checkbox and click on the "Clear Passwords" button.
Click OK to save your settings.
Click OK on the "Internet Options" window.
For more information about this feature refer to Microsoft's support site for Internet Explorer at support.microsoft.com/support/ie/

The above instructions do work but warning, you better have your user ID's and passwords written down and saved somewhere (I have mine printed out)!
