[AccessD] OT: browser password fill-in

Does anyone know how password / username fill-in works and specifically
where the information is stored by the browser.  IOW, as you go out on the
web and sites ask for a username and password, the browser pops up and asks
if you want the values stored so that you don't have to fill them in the
next time.  Alternately you are presented a list of usernames and the
browser selects the right password for that username for that site.  All
very nice, except the lists sometimes get whacked, with 7 different
usernames never entered for that web page.  I need to go in and clean up the
mess.

I suspect that it is a cookie somewhere but no idea how to find / fix them.
