I use control A to select all in that edit box and delete if I don't
trust that what is selected will disappear when I start typing. You can
use insert tab to read the current window.

Hi Adrian,
You're right to think that your password already may be in its edit box
at a
site where keeping the pass happens to be a convenience option of the
sign-in process (kind of silly, I always think, and prefer my ID to be
the
info retained, not the pass, besides which I really prefer a site that
simply writes a cookie to your computer that permits you to enter the
site
thereafter without having to log onto it at all, but go figure). I don't
really think these saved passwords are always visible as asterisks in
that
field, as they'd appear if you were to type them in yourself. I think
they
just get saved to that site's server and maybe even a sighted site
visitor
sees only an empty edit field. Not sure, but pretty confident of that.
Anyway, main thing I wanted to suggest may serve you handily here and in
many other edit field situations: When I go into an edit field like
this, or
maybe an email header line I want to revise, or, say, the default path
and
filename that often comes up in the Save As function, when you may not
want
the file or Web page you're saving to be filed that way but somewhere
else,
under another name: Just hit the home key, and that's that. Then you're
at
the left end of that edit box. What you do from there is your business.
You
can select to the end of the field with shift end and then just type in
your
new characters, which will immediately wipe out what you've selected, as
soon as you press your first key. Or you can just press delete and leave
the
field empty for the moment. Or you can change only some of the
preexisting
text and add something of your own, or whatever you feel like doing.
This is a general Windows edit field using Jaws thing. I say Jaws only
because we can't see that this is what's happening, which would be the
same
with or without Jaws.
Hope that's a helpful lagniappe (Louisiana Cajun French for something a
little extra)

Hi, Morey.
Often I find that a website has retained my password, or else kept the
one I
typed incorrectly, in the password edit field. Sometimes it is signaled
with XXX, but not always. Whenever I encounter the problem you
describe, I
go into forms mode on the password edit field, press the delete key
several
times and then the backspace key several times, since I don't know
whether
I'm at the beginning or the end of the field. If I'm not mistaken, that
has
always solved the problem for me.
I use JAWS 8 and IE6.

Hello all, Using Jaws 8 and IE 7. After going to a web site which needs
an
ID and password, I fille out the information and do my business. When I
go
back to that site and try pressing the log-in button Jaws says either
the ID
or Password were incorrect. So...I try it again, and when i get back to
the
form, I re-enter the ID and Password, check the remember these items and
then smack the log-in button again. Well....I get that invalid ID or
Password message again and again, and again. Any thoughts about making
this
matter work better? Delete cookies? Or???? Any help appreciated. Morey
Worthington
