    <desc>How do I remove and update passwords that <app>Web</app> remembers for me?</desc>
  </info>

  <title>Stored passwords</title>

  <p>You can configure <app>Web</app> to save all your passwords, and then
  refer to this saved information in the event that you forget a particular
  password. Your saved passwords are stored in
  <guiseq><gui style="menu">Web</gui>
  <gui style="menuitem">Personal Data</gui>
  <gui style="tab">Passwords</gui></guiseq>.</p>

<section id="edit-preferences">
  <title>Edit your preferences</title>

  <p><app>Web</app> will offer to remember your password every time you log in
  to a particular website, if you have modified your preferences suitably.</p>

  <steps>
    <title>To modify your preferences:</title>
    <item>
      <p>Select <guiseq><gui style="menu">Web</gui>
      <gui style="menuitem">Preferences</gui>
      <gui style="tab">Privacy</gui></guiseq>.</p>
    </item>
    <item>
      <p>Check the <gui style="checkbox">Remember passwords</gui> checkbox if
      it is unchecked.</p>
    </item>
    <item>
      <p>Click <gui style="button">Close</gui>.</p>
    </item>
  </steps>

  <p>Once you have finished changing your preferences, you will be prompted by
  <app>Web</app> to save your password whenever you use one to log in to a
  website. This will be in the form of a yellow panel on the top of your
  webpage asking you whether you would like the current password to be saved.
  Select <gui style="button">Store password</gui> to store the password and
  it will be saved in <guiseq><gui style="menu">Web</gui>
  <gui style="menuitem">Personal Data</gui><gui style="tab">Passwords</gui>
  </guiseq>. To see your passwords there, check the
  <gui style="checkbox">Show passwords</gui> checkbox at the bottom.</p>

</section>

    </item>

      <p>You will see a table with the titles <gui>Host name</gui> and
      <gui>User name</gui>, and a list of values for them. You can also see
      the associated passwords by checking the
      <gui style="checkbox">Show passwords</gui> checkbox at the bottom.</p>
    </item>

      <p>Select the desired item from the list by clicking it.</p>
    </item>
    <item>
