Save password setting not retained in Outlook or Outlook Express

When you connect to your Internet service provider (ISP) to retrieve messages from a Post Office Protocol 3 (POP3) server, your password is not retained even though you chose to save the password. Entering the correct password again does not resolve the issue.

The Safest workaround for this is to manually recreate a new profile and identity, but this article describes a shorter path to flush the password cache which is corrupted and might be the original cause of the issue.

The user subkey folder resembles the following example:
S-1-5-21-124525095-708259637-1543119021-16701
Note For every identity that you have, there may be a subkey under theProtected Storage System Providerkey.
