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
