This maybe a stupid question, but why is it every time I log into my Google account online that another name other than what I use comes up with some long password (dots only)~? Could this be connected to my Android phone and the guy that helped me at the store logged in to show me how. It was so long ago, I forgot. But I'm thinking someone has tapped into my account when I see another name/password used.

Your assumption about the sales clerk would be correct, there will be an option somewhere to delete saved passwords.

I just tried to sign in on my PC again and it won't let me or rather won't take my name or password. The others are still showing up too after I deleted them and put my own in.

Right below where you input the name and password is a link Can't access your account? You might try clicking it and see if you can resolve your problem there.

ooops I misread that. The only reason that should be showing up I'm aware of is if someone used oyour computer to login into that account. Those entries are stored locally.

In FF hit the options link >> Security Tab >> Save Passwords Button

Form there you can delete saved passwords.


To delete the name in the text box clear click on it to place a cursor. it should show up in a drop down. Mouseover it in the drop down so it's highlighted in blue and hit the delete button.

Thanks thecoalman~! Now I figured that out but can't figure out how to access it to get in on my destop. If I do change anything, it will mess my phone up. I've done that before and had to go to my cell phone provider store. Oh well~!

Well rereading my post I'm surprised since there is so many grammatical errors and typos, I really need to learn to type.

As fr as not being able to log in, what error do you get?
