A website with at least a little self-respect asks you to create an account, that is inevitably secured by a password. In a short while on the web you end up with a lot of different passwords.
Modern web browsers offer to save your passwords so you don’t have to write down credentials every time you want to use a specific service. However, this can lead to forgetting the password if you don’t write it anymore.
Luckily, if you’re using Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, Opera, or even Internet Explorer, you can easily view and manage all your saved passwords right from the browser interface.
