I'm using Netsurf 3.5 #3433 (with Javascript switched off at the
moment, if that's relevant). And I'll update today, I promise. I
usually update much more frequently; the past month or two are
atypical.

You're right, though: quitting Netsurf does forget the login details.
So that's obviously the simple solution to my original problem.

Still would like to know where Netsurf stores this info -- cache? --
and if there'd be any way to erase it (i.e., to "log out") without
quitting everything else that might be open.


Further curious observation just now after restarting Netsurf: I type
the URL as http://archivemag.co.uk/Volume24/01 and give details in the
login box; I get in.
Then I type the URL as www.archivemag.co.uk/Volume24/01 -- this time
including the optional www prefix -- and the login box appears again.
So it seems Netsurf treats these as two separate cases, even though
they lead to the identical target in the website itself. OK, no harm
in that, just an observation.
