Clean reinstall of The Sims 3, but still logged in to the launcher?

I just did a clean reinstall of The Sims 3 and Origin. Meaning I removed everything Sims and Origin related from the registry, the local appdata folder, roaming, programdata and my documents folder.

However, after installing The Sims 3 again and running the launcher I appear to still be logged in and my account credentials appears to still be saved. I don't really mind too much, but why is that?

Also, will this affect my new game in any way?

    The launcher uses Internet Explorer to store login data.  If you want to scrub that:

    Open Internet Explorer

    Click on the little cog in the upper right

    Choose Internet options

    Choose the Advance tab then click the button that says Reset

    Tick the Delete Personal Settings Box then the Reset Button

    Close Internet Explorer 

    Open the Launcher & login again

    I don't see why it would affect your game after a reinstall but if you want to be sure everything old is scrubbed this is the way :c)
