how to disable g-talks Remember Password option

December 1st, 2008

I recently checked the “remember password” box when I signed into g-talk. I didn’t want to do that because I was using a work computer that might be used by others. There seems to be no obvious ways to uncheck that option once it’s ticked since once you start g-talk, you are automatically signed in. There have been a couple posts on this in the google support forums, the answers suggested are not very helpful because either they don’t solve the problem or the instructions aren’t clear. One person’s advice was to uninstall and reinstall, which I think is too much trouble for such a small issue to fix.

So here’s the solution:

1. Sign out of g-talk

2. Uncheck the remember password box

Done, simple as that. The solution just wasn’t very obvious, and the support forums were next to useless.
