Cached data is information which comes from a website or an app that is stored on your computer, smartphone and tablet.

This data is stored on your machine, so that the next time you go to use it, it’ll already be available. A browser will cache your data to save on load times next time you visit a website.

While increased load times is good for frequently visited websites, it can also have some down sides. Cached data is stored locally on you machine meaning that it will take up storage space. It can also save various credentials you have used to log in, such as MySuffolk or Office 365.

When you change your password, the browser may still use previous credentials saved in memory causing it to seem as if you are inputting the incorrect password, even if you are explicitly inputting the right data. This would be the main reason for having to clear the cached data and stored passwords.
