Ver 28 Problem saving password for a site

I have been trying to get FFox to save the password to a site and it is failing. I enter userID, password, have the save password checked and click login. Does not work.
I went to another site and tried it. It popped up an additional window asking me if I wanted to save the info. That one works just fine. This window did not popup on the failed site.
I checked the passwords that were saved. There were about 5(so it has been working). I accidentally clicked remove all, so woops on that. NP. Just start over. I have checked the options security is set properly (remember passwords for sites). I am not in a private browsing session. I can save cookies. I checked the exceptions. None. I don't have any additional password manager tools added. The only thing I have added to the original install was a theme. I just did that today, so the problem was before that. Now the password manager has the item that I just the one that I added.
So, it is working, just not for this site. And there is NOT an exception entered in the exceptions list.
That does raise one question/suggestion. In the password manager, add the ability to make a new entry. That would probably get by my problem
Using FFox 28, windows 8.1 pro 64 bit.
The site I am using is www.sccrow.com. I created a userid guest and pw guestpw if anyone wants it to test. Its a site that is being built, so the content is nothing close to finished.
Oh yes. It isn't an issue caused by the site. It works in IE.
The list below is correct on extensions.

Works for me.
The form uses autocomplete=off to prevent Firefox from saving form data like name and password, but in this case the form is in an iframe and the version of the bookmarklet on the squarefree.com site doesn't handle this case.
The version on the mozillaZine knowledge base size for iframes works (listed as the second bookmarklet), so you can use that version or use Inspect Element in the right-click context menu and change the autocomplete="off" to autocomplete="on" in both fields.
You can remove autocomplete=off with a bookmarklet to make Firefox store form data like names and passwords.

Note that Firefox won't auto-fill saved form data automatically when autocomplete=off is used, so you need to double-click the empty name field to get a drop-down list.

    In Security, clicking on the "Saved Password" button displays your current saved password for each site. It only allows you to view and delete site passwords. It does not allow you to change a password. How would you do that?

    If you enter a new password Firefox should offer to change the password.
    *You may not need to delete the old password. Try "Refreshing" the page, entering the site again, you may need to let Firefox fill in the old password, then enter the new password, and Firefox should ask to save the new password. See:

  • Firefox stopped saving passwords for any site !!

    for all sites i joine it stopped asking to save password
    so every day i join i need to type it all the day long

    * Make sure that you not run Firefox in (permanent) [[Private Browsing]] mode.
    * In Private Browsing mode some menu items are disabled (grayed) and features like saving new passwords are disabled.
    * You are in Private Browsing mode if you see "Tools > Stop Private Browsing", possibly grayed.
    * 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: [ ] "Automatically start Firefox in a private browsing session"
    * Websites remembering you and automatically log you in is stored in a cookie.
    * You need an allow cookie exception (Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: Exceptions) to keep that cookie, especially for secure websites and if you let cookies expire when Firefox closes
    * In [[Private Browsing]] mode all cookies are session cookies that expire if that session is ended.
    * Make sure that you do not use [[Clear Recent History]] to clear the "Cookies" and the "Site Preferences"
    Clearing "Site Preferences" clears all cookies, images, pop-up windows, software installation, and password exceptions.

  • Want to reset the stored ID/Password for a site

    I need to reset the stored ID/Password for a site. I entered the wrong ID and clicked Save on the pop-up for saving password for the site. Turns out I used the wrong ID to login and now I can't reset it to the correct spelling. It keeps overriding what I type in.

    Highlight that entry in the drop down list and press Shift+Delete to remove it.

  • Firefox had saved my login name and password for a site, when I changed the password, FF won't ask to save/update it so I have to enter it manually now. How do I get it to prompt me in FF7.01?

    Using FF7.01 on a HP Pavilion dv6775us laptop running Vista Home (updated continuously)
    The site owner changed the rules in order to improve password security so I was required to create a new password. When I did so I was not prompted by FF7.01 to save the new password.
    When I next logged into the site, FF remembered the user name but presented the old (invalid) password. I was forced to manually enter the new password, but again was not prompted to save it to FF.
    I then went into FF Security, viewed the saved passwords and deleted the entry for the site in question. I expected that when I logged into that site the next time I would be asked if I wanted to save the username and password. I wasn't.
    I then exited from FF and relaunched it and again logged into the site in question. I was not prompted to save the username or password.
    How do I force FF to ask for and then save the username and password?

    Thank you for your reply.
    My problem isn't removing my log-in name and password for a site.
    The problem is I already had the log-in name and password saved by FF, but I was required by the site to change the password. FF did not recognize that it had changed and refuses to prompt me to save the new password.
    After several attempts to force the prompt, I deleted the site from the Saved Password list, hoping that the next time I entered my log-in name and password on that site FF would ask if I wanted to save both. That did not happen even after exiting FF and relaunching it.
    So, right now FF will not save my log-in name and password for a site that it used track for me. Given the complexity of the new password, I really do not want to manually enter it every time I use the site.
    Regards.

    Check exception list of your Firefox password Manager and check if your site is there or not?

  • How do I save a password for a site if I am not prompted by Firefox?

    I am trying to save a password for a site that I previously chose not to save one for.
    I have tried:
    Going into my exceptions list - it's not listed
    Going into my saved password list - there's no option to manually add a site
    Checking the forums but there is no solution that has worked
    In one forum I followed one solution. I opened a new tab, typed in about:permissions and searched for the site. It was remembered and set to 'Allow' password storage but 0 passwords were stored so I could not use the 'Manage Passwords' button. I even tried the 'Forget About This Site' button to see if navigating back to the page would reactivate the password prompt but it did not.
    Little help?
    Thanks,
    Megan

    I am having this problem with logging in to my Craigslist account. The autocomplete will enter my user name after typing the first letter, but the password does not, and I'm not prompted allow it to be saved. It used to autocomplete the password, but after I changed the password and deleted the old one in Saved Passwords, it won't save the new one. The bookmarklet doesn't seem to change anything. If this a CL issue, is there a way to circumvent it?

  • I have stored the password for a site I use often, but Firefox does not remember. Have to type in each time.

    User name and password are stored correctly in preferences, but the fields remain blank whenever I try to login to a site I use often. No prompt "Do you want firefox to remember..." Do get a popup "do you want to update password?" but it makes no difference whether I check yes or not.
    No such problem with several other sites whose passwords are stored.

    You must have the "Remember passwords" feature enabled for the browser to remember them. In Firefox 2.0 and above, make sure Tools -> Options -> Security / Passwords -> "Remember passwords for sites" is checked.
    Additionally, you may have once told the browser to never save the passwords for the site. In Firefox 2.0 and above, check the list under Tools -> Options -> Security / Passwords -> Exceptions. Also make sure you are not private browsing while saving password.
    Cheers

  • How do I save my user name a password for a site that doesn't automatically ask me if I wish to?

    Normally Firefox will ask if I wish to save the user name and password for the site I've just logged into. This time it did not ask me this. Is there somewhere that I can add this information so I don't have to remember it for when I come back in a year from now and am trying to log on again? I went to tools>internet options>security>passwords but nothing there seemed relevant.

    Some sites block passwords from being saved. For more details and how to bypass this see http://kb.mozillazine.org/User_name_and_password_not_remembered

  • I deleted my saved password from a site, how do I get the site to remeber my new password? The dropdown box doesn't appear now when I type in my password

    I removed my saved password from some sites that I needed to change my password for because they wouldn't auto log me in anymore. So I removed them and then retyped my new passwords in and the usual "do you want us to remember this password" drop down box didn't pop up.

    Firefox would normally have asked if you want to store a new password when you erase the password and enter a new password.
    Did you check the password exceptions and make sure that the Password Manager is enabled?

  • How can I get Safari to remember my ID and password for a site?

    How can I get Safari to remember my ID and password for a site?
    Specifically, I would like it to remember my 14 digit library account on:  http://polaris.plano.gov/Polaris/logon.aspx
    Firefox on my old PC was able to do this no problem.  I have recently switched over to Apple.  Thanks for your help!
    FYI, I am on a new Mac Mini with OS X 10.8.3 and Safari 6.0.4.

    Some websites request the web browser to NOT autofill the username, password.  It is possible the library site is doing that. Your previous firefox on the PC may have been sufficiently old to not be able to handle such a request.  There are password managers you can get to over-ride such things (search Safari extensions).
