I should first say that using the remember password feature in Internet Explorer is not advisable. Passwords stored with this feature are easily decoded, so it is a potential security risk. Roboform is a great password manager that is vastly more secure.

The passwords for Internet Explorer 6 are stored in the registry, so to back them up you just export that section of the registry.

1. Start the Registry Editor by clicking Start / Run then type “regedit” and press Enter.

2. Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Software \ Microsoft \ Internet Explorer \ IntelliForms \ SPW .

3. Make sure you have the SPW folder selected and choose File / Export.

4. Give it a name and export it to any folder you want.

To import the data later on just double click (or right click and select merge) the file you created.

This method will not work to move passwords from IE6 to IE7.
