Is there any possibility of clearing saved passwords using vb.net code from the browser (could be IE, Chrome or Mozzila).
Thanks
No, there isn't. Saved passwords is a user setting, and can't be affected by code in the browser.
Besides, the VB.NET code runs on the server, so it can't do anything at all to the browser.

I am using IMacro browser. It uses Internet Explorer browser. It looks like it uses some parameters from caching data.
I want to clear the cache. For that, I have tried to clear cache of Internet Explorer browser but it doesn't reflect on IMacro browser. IMacro browser still uses parameters of cached data.
I have read some reference
1- Can imacros clear ALL history, cache and cookies
2- http://wiki.imacros.net/CLEAR
3- http://forum.imacros.net/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=24378
But I don't know where to fire CLEAR command.
Do I need to fire in MS Excel VBA code where I use this?
Or
Do I need to fire somewhere in IMacro windows of application?
I am trying to write an application that will download .csv and .xls files and save them into a folder that will be accessed later by a VBA macro. I am posting this question after the unsuccessful use of the solution in the following link: How do i download a file using VBA (Without internet explorer)
The macro runs successfully, but the downloaded .csv file only contains the html from the login page. I find that strange because when I copy and paste the link directly into the browser without logging in, I am immediately prompted with a save, open, close window for the file.
As much as possible I am trying to avoid using SendKeys, but I can't seem to find another solution that works. I am not opposed to options other than VBA. Any help would be appreciated, thank you.
Your browser stores cookies which likely allows you to login automatically. Try browsing the page in different tabs in an incognito browser and you'll likely have to login each time.
You'll have to find a way to make the same requests your browser is sending to login, and use the cookies stored to make the requests to download the files.
I need to authenticate to a website.
After successful authentication - a form is shown, where a few details are filled.
After submitting the form, the page gives an impression that something is loading:
After a non-fixed delay, a download pop up is shown:
Sadly, assuming if I try to download from URL, I cannot overcome the authentication part. The web browser client is authenticated, not the VBA client.
My simple question is:
How to detect, whether this download pop up has appeared or not in IE9+?
A few things I have tried:
URLDownloadToFile is of no use, since the download link for the file is not fixed and appears after authentication
Siddharth's answer, does not addresses IE 9 download dialogue box, rather works for IE 8 dialogue box
I believe that after successfully detecting this pop up, I can download the file to local disk simply using SendKeys - correct me if needed.
Side question: how to download the file to local disk after detection is successful?
I wrote an application using the HTML5 Cache Manifest and I'm having a problem using it in IE 10.
I used Fiddler to witness the manifest file being downloaded and all resources fetched on the initial load of the application. If I disable my network adapter to force the machine offline, the application continues to work as expected as long as I don't close the browser window.
However, when I close the browser window, then attempt to re-open the page from a favorite, IE 10 tells me "You're not connected to a network". Obviously I know that, I'm trying to use the app offline. These exact steps work in Chrome.
Is this behavior by design? Is there a workaround? I can't test with IE 11 right now...is this different in IE 11?
Hearing of some issues of the appcache clearing if your company utilizes gpo settings and has "empty temporary internet files folder when browser is closed" enabled.
Did you find the answer to this? I have the same problem. I did get a bit further though. I found that if you go to the IE10 File menu option and tick Work Offline then try and access your cached app it loads the page but I still have an issue as it does not appear to be using the javascript file that should also be cached. All works ok on Google Chrome but our clients are restricted to IE so Chrome is not an option.
I'm testing an extension that was developed for a Safari browser. Reseting Safari data doesn't clear the data saved by the extension (like username and password), nor does uninstalling it.
So I'm looking for Safaris configuration options. Essentially what is Safari's equivalent to Firefox's "about:config"
Advanced options in safari:

But maybe you could ask in superuser look at this question:
https://superuser.com/questions/236558/how-to-clear-all-html5-local-storage-from-safari
This should work it's very weird that those credentials don't get deleted:
http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/apple/clear-all-browsing-history-in-safari/
http://www.techgainer.com/clear-remove-browser-data-history-passwords-firefox-ie-safari-chrome-opera/
The extension "likely" saves its data inside ~/Library/Safari/LocalStorage/ inside a file named: safari-extension_com.XXX.YYY , where XXX.YYY differs pending on the name of the extension. If you delete that file, it'll kill all of its settings, which should re-populate to the defaults when re-launched. Ensure you've quit Safari before deleting.
