Firefox doesn't autofill my username and password on Facebook.

So every site I use autofills with firefox's password remembering system, except the oh-so-frequented facebook. Firefox remembers the username and password in the drop down box of the facebook login forms, but I also use a greasemonkey script (AutoLoginJ) that will find the info firefox remembers and automatically press the button to login for me (so essentially when I go to facebook.com, I'm already on my homepage). So in order to use the greasemonkey script, I firefox to be able to remember my username and password. Any help is much appreciated.

Hello Delta.
Although possibly not related to your problem, I will remind you that the version of Firefox you are using at the moment has been discontinued and is no longer supported. Furthermore, it has known bugs and security problems. I urge you to update to the latest version of Firefox, for maximum stability, performance, security and usability. You can get it for free, as always, at [http://www.getfirefox.com getfirefox.com].
As for your issue, see this article:

I hope it helps.

Firefox won't store my usernames and passwords

'''bold text'''hi there,
firefox won't remember my usernames and passwords...
need help.

Do you mean names and passwords in the Password Manager or do you mean that you are no longer logged on to (remembered by) websites after closing and restarting Firefox? 
If the latter happens then you have a problem with cookies that are not kept or the file that stores the cookies is corrupted. 
Such details are stored in a cookie. 
* Websites remembering you and automatically log you in is stored in a cookie.
* You must allow that cookie (Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: Exceptions), 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"

Setting up SafePoint on NAS, myCloud doesn't ask for username and password

I couldn't find an answer to this in the forum. I'm trying to set up a Safepoint on a Synology NAS. I have it configured so that you need a user name and password to access this share the safepoint should go to. When I try to set the Safepoint up in MyCloud it will find my NAS, but will then say "Retrieving Shares", but won't show any.I believe this is where I shoudl be asked for a username and password. Maybe the MyCloud can't see the share because I haven't eneter the credentials yet, but I don't know where else to enter them. I tried it in different browsers in case it's some sort of JavaScript problem, but it also doesn't work in other browsers either. For security reasons I'm not keen on having the share public, without user name and password. How can I create a Safepoint on my other NAS?

According to the WD My Cloud User Manual it appears that one has to select the NAS where they want to save the share first before they are possibly given a screen where they can enter in a user name and password. See Chapter 11 in particular Steps 3 and 4 under "Creating a Safepoint". Step 4 shows an example of the username/password screen. If the Synology NAS is not being detected by the WD My Cloud user interface then obviously there is either a problem with how the Synology NAS is detected on the local network or a problem with the WD My Cloud detecting specific NAS devices on the local network. It goes without saying that both devices should be on the same local network and have IP addresses in the same IP range. For example both should have IP addresses in the 192.168.1.x range. Edit to add: There are also the following relevent WD Support links:List of NAS drives validated by WD to work as a SafePoint backup for a WD NASHow to create a Safepoint backup of a WD My Cloud drive on another device Edit to add 2: Per this earlier thread that also discusses using a Synology NAS as a backup location for Safepoint, it appears you may have to enable the option "Enable Local Master Browser" in the Synology DSM before the WD My Cloud will see the Synology NAS on the local network.

ITunes 10.6.0.40 doesn't remember my username and password

So I listen to a paid podcast that requires me to log in through iTunes before allowing updates, which WAS all fine and good till I downloaded the current version of iTunes (10.6.0.40). Now, instead of a "Windows Security" window popping up to request my username and password for this podcast's site, the window appears to be from iTunes itself. Problem is, it won't remember my username and password like the old Windows Security window used to do. Before when the request came up, the username and password boxes would fill in automatically, since I'd checked the "Remember password" checkbox. I could then just click the OK button and iTunes would proceed to update the podcast. Now, even when I've clicked the "Remember password" checkbox, the username and password boxes in the window are blank every time. I find this behavior VERY frustrating.
I'm running the latest version of iTunes on my Windows 7 32-bit machine, which is also up to date on patches and fixes. Am I missing something obvious or is this just broken now?

Amen to that...another "fix" that tagged along with the last upgrade.

How do you get firefox to automatically enter my username and password?

I am trying to use the password manager, firefox asked to save password I clicked remember, I checked the security option the password is remembered but firefos will not automatically sign in for me what is wrong?

Maybe you have this issue:

*network.negotiate-auth.allow-insecure-ntlm-v1-https = true
Bug 1023748 - Allow NTLMv1 over SSL/TLS, or intranet access is broken on Firefox 30 for non-Windows platforms

I can't sign in to my Firefox account--I forgot my username and password, and Mozilla does not send me those emails that tell you your unsername or password.

I want to modify some of my add ons, but I cannot access my account. I can't remember my password or user name, so I give my email address in order to have them sent to me and I never get an email. I also clicked on the thing that you click on if you didn't get an email and I still don't get an email. I have tried both of the email addresses that I use.

I wanted to do that, but I could only see a 'Sign In' option and no option to create an account. I'll look again to make sure, but I would have done that if I could have.

How do I stop Firefox from automatically filling in the spaces for my username and password on one of my password protected websites?

Firefox is automatically entering my username and password on my Sacramento State University secure password site. I am trying to get that function stopped. I do not want my username and password automatically entered in the spaces provided for log in. I want to manually enter that information myself each time I log in to that particular secure password protected site.
So far...I can not find a way to do that. All I find is a way to change my password. I do not wish to change my password. I just do not want it automatically entered for me.

Thanks guys...I did as you suggested and it worked! Thanks!
However...just want you all to know...a computer illiterate like myself had trouble finding which function on the menu bar to click on to find the options and security settings to "unclick." Eventually...I found the correct window.
Thanks again...your advice worked!

How do I get Firefox to remember two usernames and passwords for att.yahoo?

Firefox remembers one username and password, does not auto-fill-in the information (which is good), but will not ask to remember the second username and password. How do I get Firefox to remember the second username and password?
I have two e-mail accounts which use the same login page, one account is sbcglobal and the other is yahoo. I would like Firefox to remember both sets of information so I don't have to type all the username and password information for one account.

* Make sure that you not run Firefox in (permanent) [[Private Browsing]] mode
* 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 settings, choose: Tools > Options > Privacy, choose the setting Firefox will: Use custom settings for history
* Uncheck: [ ] "Automatically start Firefox in a private browsing session"

How can I save or export the file containing stored usernames and passwords?

I'm about to update my desktop computer's operating system, which will mean my hard drive will be wiped. I want to save any file Firefox might have that contains usernames and passwords so I don't have to rebuild that file once Firefox is reinstalled. I've found such files for extensions and bookmarks but not for passwords.

Extracting username and password from security header

Hey all,
I'm writing a BPEL process that invokes two secured web services. One of them authenticates using Username Token and the other has a authenticate method in which the username and password are supplied as Strings. I have successfully propagated the credentials from the BPEL process to the web service using Username Token by doing the following:
1) I secured my BPEL process
2) I imported oasis-200401-wss-wssecurity-secext-1.0.xsd and from it created a variable of type Security
3) I added the security variable to the Header Variables for the BPEL process input
4) I added the security variable to the Input Header Variables for the web service's invoke operation
This worked fine. However, I need to be able to extract out the username and password and supply them as Strings to the authenticate method of the other web service. How can this be done? If it can't, what are some alternatives?
Environment:
JDeveloper 11.1.1.6.0
Thanks,
Bill

Hi Sri,
If I understand your steps correctly, I think the problem I'm having rests with the second step. I don't know how to get a hold of the username and password to assign to the local variables you mention. The BPEL process itself uses Username Token for authentication. These credentials need to be passed to the web services invoked within the BPEL process. If I assign the security header variable directly to the string output for the BPEL process, the string returned will be the complete XML security header, which includes the username and password. However, the security header variable itself doesn't expose the username and password directly. In other words, I can't expand the security header variable node in the dialog for editing the Assign operation and get to the username and password. I think one solution is to parse out the username and password from the complete XML security header using string operations (substring, index-within-string, etc). Also, regarding step 4, I'm not sure if passing the credentials in the header will work for this web service. I think the web service is expecting the credentials as parameters to its authenticate method.
Thanks,
Bill

What is the Username and Password of the localhost:8080 to login to Apex?

I just installed the Oracle Application Express to or above SQL of Oracle DB 11g Enterprise Edition. It said it was successfull installation.

I used SYS and my password when I installed Oracle DB 11g, it didn't work.
Please help me solve this problem so that I continue learning Apex. Now I'm stuck.

Hi,
Does it ask XDB password?
If yes, did you unlock ANONYMOUS account?

Firefox 7.0.1 does not remember/fill in username and password in Mac version although on Windows it works, so it's not the website preventing password being saved. what is up and how can this be fixed ?

There are several sites where I now have to type in my username and password each time I return, such as turnitin.com. (I'm a teacher and use this for grading). Friefox used to be able to remember this for that site and it still works at my office where I have a windows machine. Not working on my Mac OS 10.6.8 and it is really annoying to have to retype every single time; it's not a financial site or anything so why can't the Firefox browser remember and re enter my info?
And no, turnitin does not currently support Firefox 7 but it is only up to firefox 4 and up until now firefox at least worked to remember passwords.
I looked at http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Username%20and%20password%20not%20remembered and I have checked all the recommended browser settings and am not set to private browsing; the sites where this happens are not set in exceptions to remembering, and they are not set to be cleared automatically
So, what's up and why doesn't Firefox remember passwords and usernames any longer?

Now up to Firefox 8 and the problem persists. Cannot go to the www.turnitin.com page and login as I used to do -- Firefox does not remember my username or password.
Still works on Windows, and with other browsers... It would be great if a fix is available.

Safari doesn't save my Vodafone username and password

Hello,
In preparation for iCloud Keychain, I am moving all of my logins out of RoboForm and into Safari.
However, Safari doesn't offer to save my username and password for Vodafone.co.uk, which is one of my most frequently visited sites.
I was having the same problem with my PayPal account, but the Lap Cats AutoComplete extension fixed it. Still no luck with Vodafone, though.
The Vodafone login page is here:
https://www.vodafone.co.uk/myvodafone/faces/oracle/webcenter/portalapp/pagehiera rchy/Page1.jspx#%40%3F_adf.ctrl-state%3Dma4he7lca_9.
I do have the preferences set to Autofill usernames and passwords - it does work for most sites - Amazon, Play.com etc.
I have all software updates from Apple so Safari 6.0.5, on Mountain Lion.
Any help would be very much appreciated.

However, Safari doesn't offer to save my username and password for Vodafone.co.uk, which is one of my most frequently visited sites.
First on Safari, go to Safari > Preferences > Passwords
Delete the vodafone website url if you see it there. Don't worry if it's not in the list.
Open Keychain Access located in HD > Applications > Utilties
Select Passwords on the left. Then type vodafone in the search field top right corner of the window.
Delete saved vodafone keychains by control clicking the keychain then click Delete.
Back to Safari. Navigate to the vodafone website. Enter your user name and password as usual. Click Yes when prompted to save your password to a new keychain.
Do the same for any other sites that won't save passwords.

Firefox does not automatically load nor find the login page for a public network (i.e. username and password)

To log in on a public network without a password-key (not secured), a user login is required.
After connecting to the network, the browser, upon opening it, normally automatically loads the login page, in order to enter a username and password and connect to the internet.
Firefox doesn't find the login page automatically, so I need to switch to google Chrome just to log in to the network.
Does this have anything to do with user settings in the options of firefox?
Any ideas?
thx!

Hi,
You can try setting the login page as the [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/How%20to%20set%20the%20home%20page Home page] and choose to '''Show my home page''' beside '''When Firefox starts:'''.
Alternatively, and/or to preserve your current settings you could also pin it as an always present one-click away [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/what-are-app-tabs App tab].
