Saving dialup password

I have just migrated from 98se with which I have been very happy for many
years to XP. When I log onto the internet, the dial-up screen comes up with
a password, (starred out), longer than the 5 characters I use. I have been
into internet options, and control panel, but no matter how many time I save
my password, it always comes up with this other one. Anyone know what I am
doing wrong?

TIA

You're not doing anything wrong. This is normal behavior. The displayed
password is extra long so that nobody looking over your shoulder has a head
start on guessing what your password is by knowing how long it is.

The password you enter is the one that's used.
