portal no longer prompting for username and password

All of a sudden (seemingly) my SPPS server has quit prompting me for a
password to log in with. I believe at one point I selected remember
password when prompted after accessing a word doc, but I can't be sure of
that.

I'm not logging in to AD so its not using SSO.

I've reset every Internet Options setting I can think of and nothing makes
it prompt. This is a problem since I need to test other users' logins from
my machine. I know this is a client setting, but for the life of me I can't
figure it out.

Also, on a related note, in IIS, after right clicking on Web Sites should
Anonymous Access be granted at this level?

Thanks.

As a side note if I set my IE security setting to High I get prompted. I
know for a fact that my IE settings weren't at high yesterday. I'm assuming
I checked something somehwere and its prompting this behavior.

Thanks.

Did you try:

IE|Tools|Internet Options|Content|Autocomplete|Clear Passwords


Regarding your Second question about granting anonymous access, I'm not
sure what you are asking. Can you elaborate?

Tried that. I've even went in and changed everything back to restore
defaults. If I need to be prompted I've just been setting my security back
to high. Annoying, but will deal with it...I have a laptop rebuild coming
up soon anyway...too much other weirdness going on.

As for the second question, what I meant to explain was...Open IIS Manager,
Expand the Server, there you have Web Sites, under Web Sites you have
Default Web Site, Central Admin, etc. I was always under the impression
that when SharePoint talks about not enabling Anonymous Access it was at the
Default Web Site Level. If I right click on Web Sites and choose security
Anonymous is enabled at this level. Does this override settings below it?
Sorry, this is probably a dumb question.

No, it does not override settings below it
