Always have to type in password
Since there was an overhaul a few months ago, Apple Discussion Forums no longer allows the passwords to be remembered by Firefox' password manager or by keyword access (whichever does it here for this forum)
It used to work that I could just access the forum.
Now I always have to type in my password.
Please fix this problem.
A workaround. When you get to the sign in page, click in your username box then tab down to the password box. Your password should autofill.
When two big companies end up with broken features like this, they usually end up blaming each other and users are usually left finding work arounds until things are fixed.....and perhaps they never will be.

Why do I suddenly have to type my password twice at mountain lion login screen?
I am running 10.8.2 on my 2012 11" air 64GB / 4GB.
Suddenly I have to type my password in twice when logging in. It seems to accept it, then pauses, and I have to type in again, after which it logs in fine.
Interestingly this only happens with my main username. I have another user profile which has fewer apps and I wonder if there is some incompatibility.
It happens both when waking from sleep & from full restart.
I've reparied disk permissions using disk utility and onyx.
I'm not using firevault (it is off and I believe always has been).
I have no peripherals plugged in.
The password thing It's a minor inconvenience only but the system has been a bit unstable recently with a occasional sudden shutdowns. Also all my chrome "favicons" disappeared after the last crash. (the double password thing was happening before this). So I wonder if there is an underlying problem
Any ideas?bump

When A person want to log in to a hotmail account to read or send an E-mail, one have to enter the e-mail adress and password. There is also a small square you can mark i you want Firefox to save your password so that you don't have to enter password every time you log in to the e-mail account (in this case hotmail)
Every time I log in to hotmail I mark the square so that Frefox will save my password, but my password has never been saved. I'm so tired of always having to enter my password, over and over again.
What do I do wrong? How can I solve tis problem?* 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
* Make sure that you do not use [[Clear Recent History]] to clear the "Cookies" and the "Site Preferences"

When I go to the wild blue log in and click on the username box there is a blue drop down and it shows my husband's user name.
When I click on it my husband's username and password are automatically entered and all I have to do is click on the login box.
But I have to type in my username and password before I can log
in. I want my username and password in the blue drop down box along with my husband's. Then I won't have to type it in each time.Are you referring to the SAME computer/login?
If not, he likely has auto-complete (or similar) enabled and you probably do not. -
I have a site I do business with. They do not authorize passwords unless you are a dealer. I do not have passwords on an auto save function, as I want to type my passwords in each time for security. My password for this site will only work a short WHILE, AND THEN it will not be recognized by the site and I cannot get in.
Then I must contact the company to reset or clear it manually on their end so it can be reset. They always give me the SAME SETUP PASSWORD to use. I use it, then I RESET PASSWORD on my end. The computer seems to remember my user NAME AT least on my computer as it comes up once I start typing the username in. They SAY IT is a settings issue on my end. I do not have this problem on any other site even THOSE WITH higher SECURITY. I need to FIX the issue OR may LOSE ACCESS To the site as is very aggravating for them and they say other have had the problem but usually with chrome but never constantly.I am not that computer literate ,but my husband is an IT Security professor and textbook writer but says doesn't really know Firefox. I do not really want to store passwords on computer as have been hacked several times. He and I do not understand some of the terms mentioned. since it is not a problem with other sites it should be fixable. Please me help using terms I or my husband can understand without having to give Firefox all my passwords. I would be happy to set up something different just for this one site if I need to but need easy instructions. Have cleared the cookies before but it still happens. What setting do I need to change or set to fix this? the other questions that come up seem very different and do not apply. FF 22 now but happened w other FF versions.I'm having a little trouble understanding the part about your password having to be reset. Why is that happening??
Let's start with Firefox's settings:
(1) You can configure the password manager feature on this tab:
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Security
There is a checkbox to enable/disable the feature.
There also is a "Saved Passwords" button to review and remove any passwords you do not want Firefox to keep.
That tab also has a feature to set a Master Password so that no one can use your saved passwords without knowing the Master Password. You may need to exit Firefox in order for Firefox to ask for that again.
Related articles:
* [[Password manager - Remember, delete and change saved passwords in Firefox]]
* [[Use a Master Password to protect stored logins and passwords]]
(2) Site-specific permissions
If you want to use the password manager for other sites but NOT a particular site, you can configure that in the Permissions Manager.
In a new tab, type or paste '''about:permissions''' in the address bar and press Enter.
After the page loads, use the search box in the upper left corner to narrow down the list to the site you want to configure. Highlight the site on the left side, and on the right side, choose Block under Store Passwords.
(3) Form autocomplete suggestions
Separate from passwords, Firefox remembers entries you've made into forms (in most cases) and lists the matching ones below the form field in a drop-down.
To clear a suggestion, press the down arrow key to highlight it and press the Delete key.
To turn off this feature, see this article: [[Control whether Firefox automatically fills in forms with your information]].
To review and selectively edit or delete form history entries, you need an add-on. For example, you could try this one: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/form-history-control/ -
The password saved for a site is correct but the site still doesnot accept it and I have to type it in each time. How do I fix this?
== This happened ==
Not sure how often
== always"Clear the Cache": Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Offline Storage (Cache): "Clear Now"
"Remove the Cookies" from sites causing problems: Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Clearing_the_cache and http://kb.mozillazine.org/Cookies
Check that you have only saved one name and password from that web server.
See: Tools > Page Info > Security
You can check that site here: Tools > Options > Security: Passwords: "Saved Passwords" > "Show Passwords" -
Every time I try to sign on, I only could type USER ID but I don't see any place I can type in password. It leads me automatically click on sign on, then it is always error message that I had wrong ID or password or if I forgot. I didn't forget my password. I have problem to see the place where I should type in password. There were not around sign on screen. Where is it?

How do i get my imac to remember my login details on my email and Facebook without remembering my passwords?? iAt the moment i have to type each time i visit my sites??
Open Applications and the the Utility folder and then Keychain Access app. In there you will find all the usernames and password that have been saved. For some reason it is not saving those passwords and or not using the ones that have been saved.
This is fairly common with Mac OS X as it happens for no apparent reason just all of a sudden. -
i just updated my ipod 4g to ios 5.1 and i cant download apps a message pops up saying to type in password for caldav something something the thing is that i have no idea what my password is i never made an account for that so please help
Go to iTunea>Preferences>Devices and see if there is a backupright at the time you did the update. Then try restoring from that backup. If the apps are in your iTunes library, any app data will be restored to the iPod.
When restoring from an iOS 4 (or later) backup, if the device had a passcode set, iTunes will ask if you want to set a passcode (and remind you that you had protected your device with a passcode). iTunes will not ask you to set a passcode when restoring from iOS 3.x and prior backups.
Therefore, remembe the passcode that you enter this time.
It appears that if you restore from a backup, that backup is not subseqyently overwritten by the next backup. -
Dear support @Apple,
I have tried to log in App Store with my Apple ID 3 times but never possible.
I have tried to change password 2 times.
It was successful.But soon after change of my password, I could not log in App store.
It says always incorrect user name or password. But I input correct ! Because just I successfully changed my password through secret question.
Third time when I tried to change password, the page did not open!
So I checked my connection by netstat , and I trace the IP address ; 17.154.66.17 this is apple IP, but when I trace , it did not show the route. I will copy

To post this question, I tried thierd time to change password, and before I tried to log in to App store, I logged in this community, and I could !
Then I could finally log in App store also.
But still I feel something is wrong with my connection.
Why the trace route does not show to the apple site ?This is a user to user forum. Apple is not here. Apple does not answer questions here.

I have a mac computer that uses no password. When installing flash player I get the message "Install adobe flash player wants to make changes Type your password to allow this. I can't get past this message.
Hi,
To change your password you will need to open System Preferences, then open Users & Groups, click on Change Password. Change your password to a temporary one, then when you have finished you do the same procedure to change it back, by typing in the temp password then leaving the new password blank. Hope this helps. -
I have a problem. When I start to sync music to my iPod touch, you have to enter the password of your account. I downloaded the game from the general account, and do not always know the password. He writes that if I do not login, then the game will be erased. Previously, this was not. When starting to sync music, it did not touch my programs, and now because of this music can not be transferred to iPods. PANIC AT ME! HELP
If they are Tunes purchased music you have to sing into the account that purchased them.
Is this the iTunes library/computer you sync with? You can rally only "sync" with one iTunes library/computer.However, yo can manually manage music and videos among different libraries/computer. See the manual method of:

I always have trouble with my mailbox. It is always asking for my passwords but everything has been verified. How can I get it to stop doing it and start working????
There is only one thing that happens -- the Server does not respond.
Your mac concludes that you must have entered the wrong password. That may happen once, but then other issues become more likely, and it keeps asking for a new password.
Sometimes the Server is down for maintenance. Sometimes something is configured wrong. Some services do this on purpose to get you to use WebMail (pick up your Mail with your Browser) so they can show you some ads.
