Unable to view saved passwords in Safari - the box keeps un-checking itself. Advice? Help?

Trying to view a saved passwords in Safari for particular website(s) I need to login to... so as usual I click the box to within the preference-saved UID/passwords list and by doing so allows me to view the password. However, suddenly today this little box will not remain checked and instantly un-checks itself no matter how many times re-click it! What's going on? Please advise asap.
Thanks!

  • Unable to view saved passwords in Safari. Again.

    Unable to view saved passwords because I whenever I check the box to “view password” it immediately reverts the box back to being “unchecked”. Thus, I’m unable to view any or all passwords saved within Safari on my MBP (mid-2012) running 10.9.5. Also, auto-fill of passwords isn’t working at all.
    This has been an ongoing problem for quite some now. I’ve fixed it somehow before but I can’t recall what it was that I did.
    Any help? 
    Thank you.

  • Saved Password For Safari in iOS Setting isn't Hash and it is showing the password

    Hi,
    I'm Using apple iphone 6 plus and the most iportant things for me is Security
    in setting>safari>Passwords & AutoFill>Saved Passwords all off the password shows to who was work with the iphone with device password but it must be show as hash to everyone who use this device.

    You installed a hacked app, originally from the Mac App Store. It contains the receipt for a different app, downloaded using an account that you don't control. You need to identify and remove the hacked app.
    Important: The app you need to remove is not necessarily the one named in the App Store alert. For example, if the App Store says you need to update "Twitter," the hacked app may be "Angry Birds" or something else entirely. Don't make any assumptions about which app you're looking for. To find it, you have to carry out a systematic search.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
    kMDItemAppStoreHasReceipt=1
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    In the Finder, press command-F to open a search window, or select
    File ▹ Find
    from the menu bar. In the search window, select
    Search: This Mac
    from the row of tokens below the toolbar. Below that is a popup menu initially showing Kind. From that menu, select  Other...
    A sheet will drop down. In that sheet, select Raw Query and click OK or press return.
    Now there will be a text box to the right of popup menu. Click in that box and paste (command-V).
    The search window will show all the App Store products you've installed. Compare those search results with the list of your purchases from the App Store. To see the complete list, you may need to unhide hidden purchases. If any apps were download from the App Store using other Apple ID accounts that you control, sign in to the store under each of those ID's and check the purchases.
    At least one of the items listed in the search window is not among your purchases in the App Store. Move each such item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator password. Empty the Trash.
    Log out and log back in. Test.

  • Unable to view this webcam in Safari

    Hi ,
    Does anyone know why I am unable to view this webcam in Safari?
    http://www.cam1.carvoeiro.com/
    It appears fine in Firefox & IE but I only really want one browser on my computer.
    Many thanks for any help on this on,
    Dave

    I've just posted a message on the Webcam's own forum, asking if any mac users out there can see the webcam. I've just had a reply from a Powerbook G4 user using Safari that say's he can see it perfectly.
    It must be some setting on my Mac (although I have tried it under another users name with no luck also) can anyone else out there see it?

  • Cannot delete saved passwords in Safari on Yosemite

    I am unable to remove any passwords from Safari (from the Passwords tab in Preferences). This is on Yosemite.
    I have tried the solution outlined here: Yosemite Safari won't let me delete/change passwords, but it appears to make no difference.
    Does anyone have any other suggestions?

    Might be easier to find the passwords stored in Keychain Access located in /Applications/Utilities
    Launch Keychain Access then select passwords on the left
    Type in the name of a website you need the password for in the search field top right corner of that window.
    Then right or control click that keychain then select the Attributes tab.
    Click:  Show password
    (You may be prompted for your admin password)

  • Can't delete my saved passwords from Safari 5.1 on Snow Leopard 10.6.8

    When the bugs in 1Password initially disabled that application on Safari 5.1 I started saving manually entered passwords on Safari while 1Password was being fixed. Now that 1Password is working I want to remove the saved passwords on Safari as a secirity precaution.  But they won't delete; not individually, not as a group. When I click Remove All the passwords all turn blue as if about to be deleted en mass but don't disappear. Trying it by highlighting one and clicking Remove doesn;t work either.  Any suggestions?

    You are much better off using the Mac OS X app Keychain Access which is pre installed on your Mac instead of a third party password manager.
    This link shows the results of a Safari / 1Password forum search which reveals all the problems 1Password causes for Safari.

    .Now that 1Password is working I want to remove the saved passwords on Safari as a secirity precaution.
    Your passwords are not stored in Safari per se, they are stored in Keychain Access.  /Applicatiions/Utilities. Trying to use both is causing a conflict.

  • Keyring will not allow me to view saved passwords

    I have set up a new computer and synchronized the keyring from Mobile Me. When I try to copy or view saved passwords it tells me that I don't have the right permissions. Why? Username and password for Mobile Me are correct.

    Hi Jen.  My daughter just compleated her nursing program and is now working as a full time nurse.  Focus and study hard and soon you will be there too.  Now to the problem at hand.  I have the same problem.  I gave up on it and satisfied myself with my iPod without the upgrade.  Reason being I've read so many posts of people having problems after the upgrade.  But I'm sure other factors are involved.  Nevertheless here is the fix most say works to solve the problem:  What ever virus protection you have installed on your computer, disable it.  Then try to install the update. After that enable the protection. I had Kaspersky, and it does it's job well. The thinking is, the virus protection is blocking the upgrade.  Hope this works.   Charlie

  • Checking box to see my saved passwords un-checks itself. Help pls?

    All of a sudden I am unable to view any of my saved passwords within Safari (ver. 7.1) > Preferences > Passwords !
    Whenever I check the box to “Show passwords for selected websites”, it instantly reverts the the box back to being “unchecked”, thus, making it impossible for me to see any and all of my saved passwords.
    This has been an ongoing problem for quite some time now on this machine - first issue I think was roughly around April or May of this year. I somehow fixed it before but I can’t remember what it was that I did to rectify the problem.
    Can somebody please help me out? 
    I have a MBP (mid-2012) running Mavericks ver. 10.9.5 (I’m not yet ready to update to Yosemite, JSYK) and the browser in question is Safari 7.1.
    Thanks so much!

  • In the year view, why is iCal coloring the boxes?

    In the year view, why is iCal coloring the boxes and what does each color mean and how do we change it?  It makes no sense or has any rhymn or reason according to what is in my calendar.

    By default it is colored by the number of entries for each day. From white for no entries through yellow to orange and then red for the most entries.
    Hope this helps.

  • Firefox will not remember passwords even tho the box is checked and there are no exceptions listed. The little bar asking to save passwords doesn't even come up.

    After an online session, Firefox (6.0.1) crashed and a crash report was sent. After that, Firefox would not start and the crash window kept coming up. I uninstalled it and did a new install. It works fine now except it will not remember passwords even tho the box to save is checked and there are no exceptions listed. The bar asking to save does not come up.

    Make sure that you not run Firefox in (permanent) [[Private Browsing]] mode.
    * You enter Private Browsing mode if you select: Tools > Options > Privacy > History: Firefox will: "Never Remember History"
    * To see all History and Cookie settings, choose: Tools > Options > Privacy, choose the setting <b>Firefox will: Use custom settings for history</b>
    * Uncheck: [ ] "Permanent Private Browsing mode"
    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.
