Does clearing cache remove saved passwords and login?

Does clearing cache remove saved passwords and login?
Apparently my FF is slow as a bastard child because of my cache. However, I have loads of user/passwords saved and DO NOT wish to seem them go buh-bye.
What says you?

* Password Exporter: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/2848
Keeping a large History or a problem with an extension is a more likely cause for a slow response then a problem with the cache.

  • Does clearing cache erase my passwords saved on firefox

    I would like to clear my cache (never did) does it erase passwords saved by firefox
    == This happened ==
    Not sure how often

    There is usually no need to clear the cache.
    Firefox will automatically remove items to make room for new items if the cache reaches the limit that you have set.
    Only in case of problems when pages do not load properly then you may need to clear the cache and in such cases you can still try to override the cache.
    You can reload the page and bypass the cache with:
    * Press and hold Shift and left-click the Reload button.
    * Press Ctrl + F5 or press Shift + Ctrl + R (Windows,Linux)
    * Press Shift + Cmd + R (MAC)
    See [[Keyboard shortcuts]] and [[Mouse shortcuts]]
    It never hurts to have a backup of your profile data.

  • I repaired my install of winXPpro and I think I lost all my FF saved passwords and login information. Can I find my info using a hdd undelete program? What filename do I look for?

    Can I use an undelete program to recover my FireFox saved login and password information? What filename would I try to search for and where in the directory structure would I look?

    You need two files for the passwords, key3.db and signons.sqlite (that file os for Firefox 3.5 and above), those 2 files must be kept together for passwords to work. Those files are stored in the profile folder, for details of how to find it see http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
    If those files did not exist and you ran Firefox, it would automatically create new copies. The [[username and password not remembered]] article may be of use to you as well.

  • Safari- Remove Saved Names and Passwords

    Hello,
    I am trying to remove saved e-mails under the login for facebook. It used to work when going to Safari, Reset Safari, and then Remove Saved Names and Passwords. Now when I do this the e-mail addresses are still saved and I do not know what to do. Please help if you have an idea of what to do or know what to do!

    Now it's seems that you're using the AutoFill function. So, if it isn't clearing the passwords for you for Facebook, open Keychain Access > Passwords and scroll through the list until you find the one(s) you're looking for and delete them.
    Then quit Keychain Access and restart Safari and that should fix your problem.

  • Can't remove saved passwords in Safari

    Hello, have a problem with Safari. I can't remove saved passwords of websites.
    My steps:
    - Settings
    - Safari
    - Passwords & autofill
    - Saved passwords
    - I write 4-digit code
    - I click on "Edit", select all sites, then I click on Remove
    If I go to saved passwords again, there are sites I removed.
    Any solution please? I tried clean install of iOS, didn't help me.
    Thank you

    @Kilgore-Trout: I don't want to turn off Keychain, I want to remove names and passwords of safari from iPhone...

  • Privacy settings data - is it safe to delete saved passwords and offline website data?

    As above.
    Privacy > settings > data - is it safe to delete saved passwords and offline website data? Or can this permanently delete my passwords and I won't be able to access the websites again?

    By deleting passwords, you permanently remove them. But if you remember the passwords from elsewhere (eg. your head) you can log in to these sites later, and make Firefox to remember the passwords again.

  • I spilled water on my laptop and my "i", "j" and "k" letters don't work on my laptop. However my main problem is that my password contains an "i" so i am locked out of my computer. Any ideas how I can get around the password and login.

    I spilled water on my laptop and my "i", "j" and "k" letters don't work on my laptop. However my main problem is that my password contains an "i" so i am locked out of my computer. Any ideas how I can get around the password and login. I tried the method where you go into single user mode and type in commands, however that method uses some of the letters that are not working on my laptop.

    You didn't mention which version of OS X your running but there are password reset utilities provided OS X: Changing or resetting an account password (Snow Leopard and earlier) - Apple Support  or  OS X: Changing or resetting an account password - Apple Support
    Alternately you can use an external keyboard to log in and change the password. Make a backup if you don't have one, it's likely that your problems aren't over. If that water continues to migrate downward and fries the logic board your macbook will be toast.

  • Does Touch have "remove color cast" and adjust lighting - levels like Photoshop Elements?

    Does Touch have "remove color cast" and adjust lighting -> levels like Photoshop Elements?

    There isn't a "remove color cast" command per se but there are Levels and Curves adjustments so you can effectively remove/diminish colors yourself.

  • Safari has deleted all my saved passwords, and not saving any I ask!

    Pretty self explanatory...
    But just today, Safari seems to have completely wiped all my saved passwords, and I had a lot saved. The pop up box saying 'Do you want to save this password?' is still coming up when I log into an account somewhere, and even if I select yes, it doesn't save.
    This is rather annoying, considering I'm setting up a forum, and have to be constantly logging in and out of everyone's account, in an attempt to transfer posts.
    Could someone help? Would be really grateful!
    Tom
    Edit: I'm using Safari 7.0.3

    1. Delete Safari .plist file.
         Quit all applications.
         Option click the "Go" menu in the Finder menu bar.
         Select "Library" from the drop down.
         Library > Preferences >  com.apple.Safari.plist
         Right click on it and select "Move To Trash".
         Restart. Relaunch Safari.
    2. Turn off Extensions, if any.
         Safari > Preferences > Extensions

  • I am missing my saved passwords and I do not get prompted to remember passwords since downloading a recent update, why?

    I use AOL mail and saw a banner for a supported firefox download and I made the mistake of downloading the update. Since I have none of my saved passwords and I do not get a prompt when I enter a site for the choice to save the password. I am looking to change to Google Chrome if this cannot get corrected.

    I encountered precisely this problem after the first upgrade to iOS 8, also on a 5s: empty Recents lists, failure to log any calls and a badge showing a -1 (minus 1).  It appears to be a problem with corruption of the iPhone backup file, whether backed up to the computer or to iCloud (I tried both).  Whether it was introduced by the iOS 8 upgrade process is open to speculation as I'd had no problems with restoring from backup with a couple of prior iOS 7 updates.
    Restoring the iPhone to Factory settings solves the problem, but then restoring from a backup re-introduces it.  Setting the device up as a new phone is the only way to fix it.  Problem is, you lose your contacts and SMS history, unless you've used a third-party app to back them up outside iTunes.  If that's no problem, simply do a Factory Restore then set up the phone as new and the problem is gone.
    If it is a problem (it was for me), I found two apps that enable you to back up & subsequently restore Contacts & Messages.  Syncios is free and worked like a charm for getting my Contacts backed up & restored to the phone.  However, it can only back up & restore Messages if the device is jailbroken.
    This phone was not JB'd so I had to find another app for Messages: Backuptrans iPhone SMS Backup and Restore.  It is $19 for up to 3 devices but was worth it in my case; creates a backup file on your computer that you can restore from after the Factory Restore.  Very simple & straightforward.
    The photos, apps & music, etc., were easily restored to the phone via iTunes sync.
    Hope this is of help to others similarly affected.  Must be relatively rare, though, as even the Senior Apple Advisors I worked with had not encountered it before.  I made them aware of this thread, FWIW.

  • If I have a saved password, and then I enter the wrong password on a website login, does Firefox keep the old password stored, or does it overwrite it?

    I am trying to find a password that I changed yesteday. I forgot what it was, and today I entered the incorrect password, and now I can't get logged in. When I look at the password manager, it is showing what I believe is the incorrect password. Is there a way to get it to show what the password was? It is showing that I changed the password yesterday.

    Hi, jydsker!
    Let me see if I can help.
    *Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click "Preferences" (the gear icon).
    * Select the "Security", and click the "Saved Passwords" box.
    * If you select the "Show Passwords" box in the lower right corner, it will show you the saved password.
    If it is the incorrect password, select the entry and select "Remove".
    Let us know if that helps.

  • I have tried all of the suggestions -passwords and logins are not saving. The lists are empty. Please help.

    I imported my profile from my other pc and my bookmarks are there but my pws and logins were not imported. I figured I would just reset up a master and start over but no matter what I do the logins and passwords do not show up in the list.

    What Firefox version is used on the other PC?
    Did you use an extension like FEBE or did you manually copy files?
    Firefox 32 and later builds store the passwords in the logins.json file in the profile folder and no longer use the signons.sqlite file that has been used before (the matching key3.db file is still needed).
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Recovering+important+data+from+an+old+profile
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Firefox
    The "Remember Password" extension has been reported to cause issues with the passwords disappearing, so if you have this extension then remove (uninstall) it.
