>I think I have found a corelation with the enhanced security that IE is applying by itself on several Web sites. For .NET applications that use a cookie or any other Web sites that need the same, if a form is accessed in a page which contains a HTML password textbox field, and that there are several submits done on that form in a short time, which would be the case when someone makes several attemps to log in, IE would block the cookie to that site.

I had this situation on my laptop a month ago and from a client's site. On both occasions, I mixed up the typing which has resulted in several submissions of a form containing a textbox password field, and this has caused this security to be added.

I must say that sounds extremely unlikely. I think you *can* block cookies for individual sites (but only in the registry?). For MS to decide to do that automatically and arbitrarily would be pretty dumb (though that hasn't always stopped them in the past).
Can you give the version of IE and steps to reproduce ?
