Display login as Name and Password not working?

Oddly, in Yosemite, with my system preference (under Users & Groups) set to display a request Name and Password at login, whenever my machine is reboot/restarted, i shows a login window with all the available user accounts (list of users).
has anyone else figured out this bug?
the Name and Password dialog does come up after the machine is woken from sleep, but not when the machine is restarted...
(this removes one level of security since a third party then only needs a password, as opposed to both a user name and password) to login to the machine.

hi Linc,
i'm not claiming i know anything special. i'm just saying that something changed or there is some weird bug going on with my macbook air running Yosemite.
if you are calling the "pre-boot login screen" the one that comes up when you power up your Mac from being completely powered down, this is the one i'm concerned/talking about.
historically, going back to 10.0, just like all unix machines i've used over the decades, on this screen, one is prompted with a simple two blank login which requires both a username and password, as long as the system preference was set to this option. of course, if the system is set to display a "list of users," it would show that instead.
the "toggle" in the System preference is certainly there, and behaves as i expect on my 10.10.2 Mac Pro (2010), but it doesn't do anything on my 10.10.2 Macbook Air (2013). i really think this is a bug because this feature/setting has existed for many years and variations of Mac OS X.

Tiger to Leopard transition- user name and password not working. plz help!

Hi all. Last year I purchased a MacBook Pro with Tiger OSX. Anyways I wanted to switch to leopard, so I did. Now when I want to install updates, as usual it requires my user name and password. But after I installed leopard, my old user name and password does not work (my login name does not even show up in the box anymore). I can not install any new software on my computer because of this so called "new password." Any assistance would be greatly appreciated because this is very frustrating since I just purchased an iPhone and I can't sync it because I need the new version of itunes.

can you log in at all as another user? if not activate root and log in as root using [these instructions|http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1278]. then look in the /Users folder at the top level of the hard drive. do you see the home directory with your old username there? post back with what you find.

Starts up like the first time you buy a new Mac, but after filling in all that info again, you should have access to the computer and the other Users & files will still be there... though I was just thinking, this new User probably shouldn't be the same name as an existing one.
If that doesn't work for you (and some users have reported it has not worked for them), try Niel's procedure Making the Setup Assistant reappear.

Admin name and password not working

I recently upgraded to leopard and I just tried to install a printer and it asked for an admin name and password. I only have one account on my powerbook. My name and password work to unlock the computer when waking from sleep but is being rejected in the system preferences panel. I know I have the name and password right and that I am the only admin account. Please help.

At the top of the Leopard discussion pages, there's a yellow box, suggesting that you read one of Apple's "known problems and workarounds" documents. This problem is one of those discussed.

Store last user on "Login Window: Name and Password"

I have set my login window to display as "Name and password"
Is there any way to make a certain user always appear in the Username box - much like you can do on Windows? Basically, I want to only have to enter in a password and not the username everytime.
Thanks in advance.

I think the only way to do that is to set your login window to show "list of users" instead of "name and password". Why don't you do that?

SSH local database username and password not working

I have a weird issue. I recently setup an ASA 5510 and had SSH working. To make it easier on my VPN users I then decided I wanted to setup a Windows 2008 Network Policy Server for RADIUS authentication. Ever since I added the RADIUS part to aaa authentication, when I use SSH to connect to the ASA it will not take the local user name and password I have setup. I can however get in using a Domain user name and password. Below is the SSH and AAA configuration. Am I missing something here? The username and password in the ASA is not on the domain and it's like the ASA is not even trying LOCAL when it tries to authenticate. I want it to use the local username and password if possible. I'm kind of new to ASA's..
On another note, I have never been able to SSH in on the internal interface. I always get a "The remote system refused the connection" error message. I can only use the outside interface.
Site-ASA# sh run | in ssh
aaa authentication ssh console SERVER_RADIUS LOCAL
ssh 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 outside
ssh 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 inside
ssh timeout 60
ssh version 2
Site-ASA# sh run | in aaa
aaa-server SERVER_RADIUS protocol radius
aaa-server SERVER_RADIUS (inside) host 10.0.0.6
aaa authentication ssh console SERVER_RADIUS LOCAL
aaa authentication http console SERVER_RADIUS LOCAL
Site-ASA#
If there are any other config that would help I would be more than happy to display them
Thanks!

Thanks for the reply. I was just coming in to update this because you are exactly correct. For some reason I kept thinking that if the authentication failed via RADIUS it would use local which is not the case.
Problem (or no problem) resolved.

Login Options: Name and Password?

I have login options set to display "Name and Password" but at login I am presented with a list of Users... I see an icon for each user account. Am I missing something?
Regards
John

I am having the exact same problem...
I tried deleting the com.apple.loginitems.plist and a few other login plists but to no avail. I also tried to boot into safe mode to see if I could rewrite the system cache but since I have FileVault running it never seemed to get there (Gave up after 15 min).
At this pint I am ready to start messing with the plist manually.

FTP User Name and Password - not saving

Occasionally, FTP user name and password for each site are all gone. I have searched the Internet for the solution. All I found were an issue w/ Dreamweaver 8 and CS4/CS5 but on a MAC. Mine is Dreamweaver CS4 on a PC so I don't have any Keychain on PC to fix. My co-workers are having the similar problem. Advise?

I can primarily speak for the Mac myself, although I do use the Windows versions at work on occassion, but this problem is usually due to either insufficient permissions (what user level are the users that are having trouble) or corrupted cache files. Try this KB article to re-create a user preferences folder for Windows:

ILM assistant XDB username and password not working

Hi All,
Hi I'm using ILM 1.3 with Oracle 11g on HP.
I am able to log-in to apex server but not ILM assistant.
http://dblxamd02.vxindia.veritas.com:8080/apex/apex_admin it works with admin/oracle.
But im not able to login to http://dblxamd02.vxindia.veritas.com:8080 when it asks for XDB username and password.
I tried to reset the password using apxxepwd.sql but not luck.
Did anybody observer this issue ? if so can somebody please reply me ASAP ?
Thanks in advance.

There are two wats to install the ILM toolkit:
1) Directly on the server where your instance is located. In this case you do not need to provide a TNS connection name. Therefore, you would execute the script as follows:
@ilma_install.sql pune
2) Remotely from a client. In this case you do need to provide a connection string to your remote database instance. Therefore, you would execute the script as follows:
@ilma_install.sql pune@11
in this scenario the connection details are derived from your TNSNAMES.ORA file. If you have multiple Oracle products installed you have multiple copies of this file and it can be difficult to track down which file is being used. To point to a specific TNSNAMES.ORA I normally set three parameters:
ORACLE_HOME - points to your 11g Client installation directory
PATH - point this to the Oracle home containing SQLPlus, usually this is ORACLE_HOME/bin
TNS_ADMIN = ORACLE_HOME/network/admin
then make sure the TNSNAMES.ORA contains a reference to your identifier "11". You can test the connection by using the TNSPING utility that is part of the 11g client installation. The format for your instance would be:
TNSPING 11
this will tell you if you can connect to your instance. If there are any issues check the connection via the Net Configuration Assistant, or you can edit the TNSNAMES.ORA file directly via Notepad.
Hope this helps

AirPort Base Station disk username and password not working

I got a new AirPort Base Station the other day and everything worked fine until I started to set up the networked disk. On my mac it works fine, it just pops up when I connect to the network ( woot for macs ). On my windows it asks for the username and password. After I enter it it comes up with "Unknown user, incorrect password, or login is disabled. Please retype the login information or contact the disk's administrator." I have tried to log into the disk on 2 other computers running windows xp with the same problem. What is wrong with it and how do I fix it?

Specifically, I had the typical problem connecting when using Windows Live OneCare, despite allowing AirPort Disk Agent in its firewall pop-up.
This is the procedure which unlocked access via AirPort Disk Agent:
Double Click Windows Live OneCare icon in system tray. Or use your own means to get its main window open.
Click the "Change OneCare Settings" topic listed along the left edge column. This will open a new dialog box.
Click the "Firewall" tab of this new dialog box.
Click the "Firewall connection tool" button shown right under the protection level slider. This will open yet another dialog box.
At the top of the list in this "Set up connections" dialog box will be a checkbox (probably unchecked) next to the words "Network Discovery: Browse your network to find printers, computers and other devices."
CHECK THAT BOX.
Close all the dialog boxes using an OK button where available, else the usual [X].
Left-click the AirPort Disk Agent icon in your system tray. From the menu that pops up, select the disk you were having trouble with. Enter its password (the one you know works from a Mac, if appropriate).
After a delay, your "My Computer" window should show a new drive. If you have window settings appropriate to this display, the drive should appear under the "Network Drives" category. In my case, it became drive Z:.

User name and password not saving anymore on my most used site!

Just a couple weeks ago - my username and password quit autofilling in the site that I use for my business. I need to log in several times a day (anytime I go 10 minutes without activity, I need to log in again). Safari is set to remember passwoods and is still working on all the other sites I vist where I saved the passwrod information.
I just cannot get the auto fill to work on the one site i want it to work on. It won't even give me the pop-up that asks if I want to save a passwrod.
So - is there a setting I am missing? (I do not think it is the particualar site as my sister uses Safari and her user name and passwrod are still auto-filling.
Any ideas?
Sandy

No extensions or plugin added lately - I do have a two old ones on there - ghostery and Adblock - but those have been on there for a while.
I did look through every setting page in the preferences - it is weird that the password thing is still working for my other sites and just not this one - I have not even come across another site where this has happened.
I tried to add the username and passwrod to the autofil settings by clicking "edit" but you can only remove from that window.
