How to reduce prompting for "Master password"

I hope there may be a setting to address this issue...
I have a number of passwords saved for various non critical web sites such as this forum. Recently I set a "master password" to protect my saved passwords. Whenever I open a page which has text boxes for credentials which I have saved I am prompted for the master password regardless of whether I wish to authenticate to the site or not. I would like to configure Firefox to only open the saved passwords repository (for want of a batter word) when I choose to authenticate to a site.
Is this possible?
TIA,
Ken
p.s. I close Firefox (to flush cookies etc.) OFTEN so simply unlocking the saved passwords once a day and leaving Firefox running is not an answer.

Open the PrefBar Customize window via the right-click context menu of the PrefBar.<br />
Create a new pref check via the right-click context menu of the right pane: New > Pref Check
Enter an ID (e.g. chk_rememberSignons) and a label that appears on the PrefBar and put in the Prefstring field <b>signon.rememberSignons</b> to specify which pref is affected.<br />
Put <b>value</b> in the toPref and fromPref fields, that will toggle the pref between true and false and show a check-mark with the true value.<br />
You can assign a hotkey to that pref if you want to toggle the pref with the keyboard.<br />
That still works if you want to hide the PrefBar with F8 to get more screen space.
I color the check boxes with code in userChrome.css to make it easier to spot that I've changed some of them
The customization files userChrome.css (interface) and userContent.css (websites) are located in the chrome folder in the user profile folder.

  • Error while signing in. No prompt for Master Password.

    Firefox 3.6.15 (Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; sv-SE; rv:1.9.2.15) Gecko/20110303 )
    Firefox sync 1.7
    Sync NEVER works automatically. In a new FF session it always reports "Error While Signing In". If I try to connect manually I must go through the set-up dialogue and enter my Master Password etc and then it works (during that session).
    I have a Master Password defined.
    Sync doesn't prompt for that before trying to connect. So the connection fails and sync concludes that a set-up must be performed.
    Useless extension in current state.

    Hi,
    as per the error message is:
    "... The part /soap:Envelope/soap:Body was required to be signed by the policy with the transformations [], but the signature was not accepted. (Info: number of valid signatures: 1, number of accepted signer certificates: 0.) ..."
    I guess the cert. setup either on your side or the other system's side is not fully correct. Check whether all cert., priv keys and public keys are exchanged propperly and setup as trusted certs.
    Regards,
    Kai

  • Why is the PopUp Window Prompt for Master Password Not Showing?

    I have set a Masterpassword and it will usually show up when either start Firefox or try to enter a password on my gmail account. I have also used the F5 command to force this to pop-up. This is no longer working at my home computer or at work.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • How can I set my iphone to prompt for a password when viewing a selected email account?

    I can see a lot of people complaining about adhoc password entry when using email but nothing where people actually want to be prompted for a password.  If I have multiple email accounts and a phone where others can pick up and enter the top level security 4 digit number, I would like one of the email accounts to be slightly more secure than the others, hence need it to prompt for a password.  Does anybody have any ideas how I can do this?

    Sorry, there is no way to do this in the current iOS. Suggest such to Apple here:

    I am trying to update my apps. When it prompts for my password my old deleted email address comes up. I don't even rember the password for that old email. How can I get to update my apps with my current email?

    All apps are tied to the Apple ID they are purchased with and is not transferable.
    Delete app and download app with your new Apple ID.

  • Installing microsoft office for mac and getting prompt for installer password.  i have put in apple id password and admin password and not working, i have also reset my admin password 3 times and it is still not working? how do i get past this?

    installing microsoft office for mac and getting prompt for installer password.  i have put in apple id password and admin password and not working, i have also reset my admin password 3 times and it is still not working? how do i get past this?

    You don't use your Apple ID or its password to install anything on your Mac. You use the admin account's name and password.
    Use the name and password you last entered when resetting them. The "name" you use is not the short name of the admin account folder.
    For example. If you create an admin account of John Smith, the short name given to that account's folder will be johnsmith. So when an app requests an admin name and password to install something, the admin name you enter is John Smith, not johnsmith.

  • ICloud has my old Apple ID and is prompting for a password, but I want to put in the new id, I can't because it is grey and there is no edit option.  I'm prompted for a password to an account that doesn't exist

    iCloud has my old Apple ID and is prompting for a password, but I want to put in the new id, I can't because it is grey and there is no edit option.  I'm prompted for a password to an account that doesn't exist.  Anyone know what I can do to fix this or why this is happening.?  I had no issue putting in my new Apple ID everywhere else, I could sign out of the old and inactive account and then sign back in using my new and proper one.  However, after the update to 7.3 it did a whole welcome to yr iPad and a set up thing and it went to set up iCloud and had my old Apple ID in grey where I can't change or edit it, it wants the password, when I put in the old password, it say yr Apple ID is incorrect but yet it won't let me change it??????? Anyone???

    Sign out and back into your apple id from Settings>iTunes and App stores>(Your apple ID)>Sign Out and then sign in again with the new address. Close app store from running in the background (or restart the phone if your unsure how to do this). If when trying to update any apps they are still asking for the old apple ID, delete and re-install those apps.

  • Since upgrading to iOS 6 I am not getting prompted for my password when I update apps. Why is this?

    When I updated apps on my ipad2 and iphone4S I used to get prompted for my password within a certain time.  So I could update a couple and then 10 minutes later if I wanted to download or update something else I would need to put in my password again. Since I upgraded to iOS6, I don't believe I am prompted for my password the same amount of times. I updated an app this am after not using iPad through the night and it just updated, no password required. This has me concerned now because sometimes I bump buttons by accident and now I will be charged for these accidents. What has happened to Apple's brilliant security?

    They've changed it in iOS and updates (and updates ONLY) do not require a password since it is really unnecessary as they have it on record that you were the one who bought the app. Why is more security needed, you aren't going to be charged for anything?
    Next time you update and app go to the App Store and try to buy something. You will be asked for your password.

  • After jumpstart host doesn't prompt for root password

    Hiya gang,
    I am migrating my jumpstart functionality to a new server and while it would appear that 100% of things are identical on both (as far as my /jumpstart tree is concerned), when I jumpstart a host (V240, in this case, but I've seen it on a SunBlade 150 too) everything appears to go well, but after the host reboots at the very end and I attempt to log in on console as root I am not even prompted for a password.
    I've booted to single user over the net and on the disk that was just jumpstarted I see what would appear to be a normal Solaris system. There are no indications that I can find of why it wouldn't prompt for password at all, and I'm not well enough versed with the way the login functionality works to know why this is.
    My new jumpstart server is running Solaris 10 (08/07), and I'm trying to jump a host with the same version. The very same jumpstart using my old jumpstart server works just fine.
    Thanks in advance,
    pb

    Darren,

    I set up pam debugging for pam_ldap and got the following messages in /var/adm/messages:

    Aug 29 10:57:49 testfoo login[1225]: [ID 105162 auth.alert] open_pam_conf: Owner of /etc/pam.conf is not root
    ...so, I checked them out and /etc/pam.conf and /usr/lib/security/pam_mkhomedir.so are both owned nobody:nobody, which smelled like an NFS issue since both of those files are copied over to the hosts as part of a JASS_FILES variable, but during the finish script execution (they're copied by install-templates.fin). So, I did some digging there and found another Sun forum thread that had info on it:
    http://forums.sun.com/thread.jspa?forumID=841&threadID=5100999
    ...so I made the requisite change to /etc/default/nfs (setting the max version to 3) and the next jumpstart I tested worked perfectly, password prompt and all. All files that were previously owned nobody:nobody had the correct ownership this time around.
    Crazy!
    Thanks again Darren for your input!

  • How to create prompt for inline filter?

    HI All. Can anyone plz help me, how to create prompt for inline filter?
    Let me give an examle...
    Suppose I've taken two columns as # of New Invoices and # of Cancelled Invoices
    Now, If I set a date prompt / month prompt, then the "# of cancelled invoices" column will fetch the number of cancelled invoice for that month only, which I have chosen in the prompt. But I want the "# of cancelled invoices" column to fetch data for the month chosen by me in another prompt.
    So, can anyone help me with the sql statement, which will fetch the prompt data (i.e., month / date chosen by the user) automatically and will furnish the result accordingly.
    Thanks.

    To create a column prompt:
    To create a dashboard prompt, use the following sub-procedure.
    Navigate to the Oracle BI Enterprise Edition Home page, locate the global header, hover the mouse pointer over the New menu to access the menu, and select Dashboard Prompt. From the Select Subject Area menu, select the subject area for which you want to create a prompt. The "Definition pane" is displayed.
    Click the New toolbar button in the Definition Pane to access the prompt type selection list. From the list, select Column Prompt. The "Select Column dialog" is displayed.
    Select a column and click OK. The "New Prompt dialog" displays. If your repository is configured for double columns, then ensure that you select the correct display column. For information on double columns, see "Understanding the Double Column Feature".
    The number of columns that you include in a prompt can affect performance. In general, you should limit the number of columns to as few as possible.
    If you are creating a dashboard prompt and want to add or remove related subject areas, then click the Select subject area button in the "Select Column dialog" to display the "Add/Remove Subject Areas dialog".
    To create an inline prompt, use the following sub-procedure.
    Create a new analysis or access an existing analysis for which you want to create a prompt. Click the Prompts tab. The "Definition pane" is displayed.
    Click the New toolbar button in the Definition Pane to access the prompt type selection list. From the list, select Column Prompt. The analysis' selected columns are displayed in the cascading menu that is adjacent to the Column Prompt selection item.

    i tried downloading adobe flash but it prompts for a password. none of the passwords i have (including that which i use with apple) works. any suggestions?

    You are prompted for a password before installing Flash? If so, this is your Mac's admin password, which doesn't have anything to do with your Apple ID unless you chose to use the same password for your computer admin login account as is used for your Apple ID.

  • When I go to a website requiring login, and am logged in automatically, I still get prompted by Software Security Defice for master password. New w/Firefox 24.

    If I go to a website that requires a login & password, and I have it set up to automatically log me in, I get automatically logged in (it remembers by userid & password for that site), but the prompt from the Software Security Device for my master password appears as well. I can cancel the prompt and it goes away, but it shouldn't show up because I'm already logged in. This problem started happening after I downloaded Firefox 24 yesterday.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
    *Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.

    Note that Firefox Sync also requires you to enter the Master Password.
