Hi there, I guess Chine means the similar stuff as in Chromium and Firefox? Where the browser monitor some certain <input> tag - e.g. the ones with id and class like 'password' - then store the user input in plain text, so that could be auto-filled next time. I myself do not use this function in any browser, and I guess lynx doesn't have this one. I would be surprise if lynx supports this. Best wishes, Huihang
