ICloud password not saving in Mail?

Since updating to Mavericks my iCloud password will not save into my account in Mail. I enter it in the Account Preferences and Save it and then it dissapears. It also askes for the password every time i restart Mail. This is pretty annoying and i'm not sure what to do? Does anyone know a solution to the problem?
thanks!

Howdy patty1969,
If iCloud mail is not opening or even recognizing your account, please check your settings to insure they are correct.

    Passwords not saving in iCloud Keychain. Does it requires to be on same id

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of this test is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account. Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault in OS X 10.7 or later, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The "Guest User" login created by "Find My Mac" is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.

    i forget icloud password and my yahoo mail is stopped

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    If you are unable to remember your password, security questions, don’t have access to your rescue address or are unable to reset your password for whatever reason, your only option is to contact Apple ID Support, upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.
    You will need to show patience with the procedure and be prepared to demonstrate without question that the account belongs to you. Don’t expect access to be restored immediately and if you aren’t the owner of the Apple ID registered to the device the account won’t be reset.

  • Keychain: What happened to "passwords not saved"?

    I was about to answer this question by directing the user to Keychain Access, where he could find the relevant website and simply delete it.
    For as long as I've known, if you tell a website to never save passwords for it, Safari would create a Keychain entry with the website URL along with the note "passwords not saved". From that moment on, Safari would not ask if you'd like to save the password. The Keychain entry was self-explanatory; if you asked Keychain to show the password the field would be blank.
    So, I checked my Keychain for the several secure financial websites where I store various amounts of the enormous Galt wealth all over the globe. They're not in Keychain any more - they're gone completely!
    I suspect this happened when I updated Safari from 4.0.4 to 4.0.5, since I got the familiar popup "Keychain has been updated" etc.
    Something must tell Safari not to ask to store a password for a particular website, and without a Keychain entry, it can't be the Keychain, right? So what is it now? A cookie?

    Thanks, BD, this makes sense to me, though I can't seem to find a Login keychain I think I understand what's going on now.
    The difficulty seems to be function of how Safari interacts with secure websites, and that's changed with Safari's evolution. At one time Safari would give you the option of saving names and passwords no matter what. They were stored in Safari's Autofill preferences while the actual passwords were stored in the Keychain. Later, it appears that Safari began to honor a secure website's request to not even do that, so I'm never given the choice. Those Keychain entries disappeared.
    Firefox behaves differently still. At least one secure website will not allow Safari to autofill, but the same one will autofill with Firefox. It requires a ridiculously secure, non-memorable password, such as U*ng%!+{&.4 - you know, the kind you have to write on a Post-It note stuck to your monitor since it expires every 36 hours. It's a government website and by definition, stupid. For that one I use Firefox.
    I would surmise that if the internet standards allow for a choice, Apple is taking the more secure route.
    So, some websites, even though their address starts with https:// allow Safari to store names and passwords. I surmise that some do not; for those Safari will not even give you the option. I was looking for those in my Keychain - now they're gone, and I guess that's the way it's going to be!
    You deserve a by the way, but I had clicked "Helpful" before I unraveled this mystery. Sorry!

  • Networked user accounts, mail passwords not saving or notes?

    Hi there,
    I have a mac mini set up as a server with latest software. On it i have 20 networked users which use between them for different mac mini's.
    Problem which i have come across and i haven't found a solution yet. When i created them emails on there user accounts the incoming mail password won't save? On occasion i has saved, but once log out of the user and log back in the password has gone. which then it prompts me to keep typing the password in and won't save the password. This is very frustrating!!
    I have also just noticed when i put message in notes and then log out and log in the the message has gone. This got me thinking it could be something with the user account not saving any data that put in? I don't really want to reformat the server if i don't have to.
    If anyone has solution to this problem, it would really handy to know?

    I click the Note button, nothing happens. The feature is completely out of service. I don't understand. Am I missing something obvious? I have tried the keystrokes too, no reaction at all, no errors, just can't use Notes, at all! rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! Please help.
    Update: I opened Console to see if I could find any errors immediate after trying to create a note and this is what I found:

  • Outgoing Mail - Authentication grayed-out, password not saving

    I am running into a strange problem since having to restore my iPhone after the 1.1.3 software update.
    I am unable to send mail. What I am finding is that the mail accounts that I have set up are not using the password I need to authenticate my outgoing mail. There are two more detailed symptoms, and I'm wondering if anyone else has seen them...
    1.) When I enter a password into the "Optional" area, it isn't staying-- when I go right back to the config screen for that account, it is already gone. Not surprisingly, I am then failing to authenticate when trying to send mail.
    2.) I notice that the "Authentication >" button on the Advanced screen of email account config is greyed-out. I suspect this is somehow related.
    I have tried re-creating the accounts a number of times. Eventually accounts are created, but outgoing email isn't working. This was working before the update, but I also deleted and re-created the accounts after first seeing problems. My provider has ports 25 and 587 open, and requires password authentication to send.

    I may have found my own solution for this, so I am posting it here in case anyone runs into the same thing.
    I removed all Email Accounts from my iPhone. Then I recreated them one at a time, from scratch. If the Add Account screen came up with previous info in it, I started over until it started blank. I was sure to enter the server addresses, passwords, etc. correctly the first time. I didn't specify ports at all. I had to click past a "Do you want to retry without SSL?" message a couple of times for each.
    Once all of that was done properly (took a few tries) the accounts appeared with the password already saved rather than blank. Sending email then worked. The "Authentication" on the Advanced tab now shows up with "Password".
    This looks like a subtle bug to me, even though it has a work-around.

  • Safari/KeyChain Not Saving Yahoo Mail Login/Password information?

    I have a MacBook Pro laptop, Mac OSX Version 10.6.8 and Safari browser Version 5.1.7  Snow Leopard. The problem is ... I recently changed my passwords on my Yahoo Mail accounts.   Safari will not prompt to save my login information for Yahoo Mail. It works with other web sites and worked with yahoo mail before I changed passwords.
    My attempts to correct the problem have been unsuccessful. I have tried the following: 
    1. Ran Updates
    2. Clicked on Safari > opened Preferences >clicked Auto-Fill all 3 boxes checked
    3. Finder >Applications > utilities > KeyChain     I found Yahoo mail and removed the old ones.
    4. With KeyChain open > Clicked KeyChain Access > Clicked KeyChain First Aid and Verify    No problems found
    5. KeyChain Access>  File > New Password Item>  Typed in KeyChain item Name as https://login.yahoo.com and tried mail.yahoo.com typed in Information and saved.
    I have checked the apple sites, the only thing I have found is what I did in #2. the boxes were already checked.
    May be I am missing the obvious here. If there is a solution I would appreciate the help. ?

    I'm having the exact same issue with Yahoo only on my iMac after changing the password.  I've been trying to fix it since yesterday, and yes I'm updated.  I also tried several fixes for the trojan.  Not luck for me yet.
    Corrections Completed for Safari 5.1.7:
    1- verified all updates completed
    2- deleted cookies for everything
    3- deleted keychain access for yahoo account. Interesting is that after deleting cookies and keychain, the username and old password keep populating but it hasn't stored the new password because I never received the prompt to store. 

  • Password not sent with mail during creation of new acct on GRC 10

    Hello Experts,
    When a new user is being created and when his access has been approved and he gets the closing mail the system is not sending a password mail or password with that closing mail.
    Is there some setting which needs to be done for this to be able to send out password with mails.
    When I do just a PSS it sends out mails to users.
    Thanks
    Uday

    Hi,
    In the notification emails, do you get details of the new User ID created and the roles assigned per system etc? We had issues earlier in a project when creating the POC system as the notifications would provide the message "Error In Provisioning" whilst the Application logs stated everything was created and provisioned correctly.
    I noticed that you have issues in being able to assign a "End of Request" e-mail notification in the first step of the MSMP config. It may be worth getting in touch with SAP.
    As you are on SP07, the notes I had to implement are not applicable as they were all included into the SP07 release.
    It might be worth checking with Basis that the password parameters have been set up for the system password wizard etc.
    Will update the forum thread if I find anything to share.
    All the best

  • Password not saved in PowerPivot 2012

    Hi
    We facing problems using the 2012 version of PowerPivot. The password for the connection to SQL Server is not saved anymore! We previous used the 2008 version without any problem, now we want to upgrade to 2012 but this issue is holding this.
    We use PowerPivot as an offline version and users update there data by refresing the powerpivot. When done in 2012 version, the user is asked to enter the password for the SQL connection. We can't have endusers to enter the PW. It might be reported as a
    bug in 2012 already but no solution yet.
    Anybody?
    Thanks

  • Usernames and passwords not saved

    I have followed all of the suggestions and usernames and passwords are not saved. This feature did work until I install Firefox 4 and still with Firefox 5.

  • Passwords not saved

    When I enter a user name and password, Safari usually asks if I want to remember it, or gives me the option "Never for this site." How do I know what it is set to do? If I click never, do I just never ever have the option to save a password again? How do I check if this site isn't saving my password just because I accidentally told it not to?
    I'm suspicious because this site doesn't save my info and it's REALLY annoying. I've looked at the source and there are no autocomplete=off tags or anything, so it should be saving my info.
    I think maybe it isn't being saved just because it isn't a username and password (it's a first name/last name and password). ...but shouldn't it be able to save the form field data somehow?
    GRRRAWRRR!! I'm so frustrated. There must be SOME way to make Safari save my information!
    ...so yeah, how do I check if it's set to try and remember passwords, or if it's just "never for this site" going to remember. ...and how do I reverse that setting?
    ALSO.... changing browsers is out of the question. ;D

    I've had the same problem and it has everything to do with Code Signing: the way Mac OS X checks if applications can have access to secret data (in Keychain Access). Safari uses this too and if Code Signing is somehow broken; strange things happen with saving or not saving passwords.
    You can check Code Signing for Safari in Terminal:
    codesign --verify --verbose /Applications/Safari.app
    ...If the result is different from:
    /Applications/Safari.app: valid on disk
    /Applications/Safari.app: satisfies its Designated Requirement
    ...then something is wrong.
    There are complex ways to change the Safari code signing, so just take the easy way: just put your Safari application in the trash and copy the complete (working) Safari application from another Mac (with the same version number) to yours (or from a Time Capsule version of Safari from the period everything was nice and easy).
    After starting the copied version of Safari, Keychain Access will ask you for permission. Choose "always" and you're problem is fixed!
    It did the trick for me after Googling and troubleshooting for hours...

  • Passwords not saving

    I have recently upgraded to firefox 4.0.1 and firefox no longer remembers any of my logins.
    This includes html logins (via a form). And also server level logins (the ones that pop up before the page even loads).
    This is certainly not an issue with the websites - since I have over 50 logins and it is not saving any of them!

    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.
    * https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
    * https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
    It is possible that there is a problem with the files key3.db and signons.sqlite that store the encrypted names and passwords in Firefox.<br />
    Rename the files key3.db and signons.sqlite in the Firefox profile folder.<br />
    You can add .old to the file names (key3.db.old and signons.sqlite.old) or move them to another folder to make it possible to undo the action.<br />
    You need to set a new Master Password after renaming or deleting key3.db and all currently saved passwords are lost.<br />
    If that has worked then you can remove the renamed files that are no longer needed.<br />
