Firefox is not remembering usernames and passwords

Hi
i've just installed Firefox 15.0 (windows xp) and it no longer remembers usernames and passwords on at least 3 websites where previously it would when i have "remember me" ticked. For example, twitter.
I have checked Tools/Options and I have Accept Cookies from Sites ticked with no exceptions
please help

After a few experiments i have noticed that i had somehow accidentally checked "Always use private browsing mode" so there is no issue here and it can be closed. thanks ....

  • Firefox won't remember username and password on a certain site. I have the option enabled to remember passwords, and the site is not listed in the exceptions. On my home computer, Firefox DOES remember the password for this specific site. Any suggestions?

    This happens on my updated Firefox 4.0 and on the previous version from which I updated.

    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?
    * Websites remembering you and automatically log you in is stored in a cookie.
    * Create an allow cookie exception (Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: Exceptions) to keep such a cookie, especially for secure websites and if cookies expire when Firefox is closed.
    * In [[Private Browsing]] mode Firefox won't fill names and passwords automatically.
    * Do not use [[Clear Recent History]] to clear the "Cookies" and the "Site Preferences"
    Clearing "Site Preferences" clears all exceptions for cookies, images, pop-up windows, software installation, and passwords.

  • Safari not remembering username and password

    Hello, I have my settings set so that Safari remembers my username and passwords to make logins faster. One site I use for school has had my username and password saved since I first started using it. But all of a sudden, it's not remembering my information anymore. When I go onto the site, it doesn't automatically fill in everything like it used to. And the only way I know how to add usernames and passwords to Safaris list is when it prompts you to when on a new site. How can I "re save" my username and pasword? Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you.

    You might be able to fix it by deleting the saved password from your keychain in the Keychain Access application. Search for it by the domain name of the site.

  • IMac not remembering username and password

    Hi,
    I recently bought a Qwest wireless DSL modem and set it up with my iMac.
    I chose my username and password for my network. I also set my security to have the network invisible.
    It worked great for weeks, but the last several days when I would shutdown and then boot my iMac Leopard can't find my network and I have to manually enter my username and password in again.
    I check the box so that it will remember, but no luck.
    I reset the router but that doesn't help either.
    Any suggestions?
    Thank you in advance

    have you changed user accounts? that could cause issues with your keychains. you should be able to see if your login credentials are saved under Applications > Utilities > Keychain Access.
    if not, try creating a new location under system prefs > network.
    reconfigure your airport connection under the new location.

  • In spite of having firefox set to remember usernames and passwords it won't, even if i use a master password, still doesn't work. Is this a bug, i'm on 8-0-1

    I have turned off and on the password setting,, still doesn't help

    Make sure that you do not run Firefox in permanent Private Browsing mode.
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Private+Browsing
    To see all History and Cookie settings, choose:
    *Tools > Options > Privacy, choose the setting <b>Firefox will: Use custom settings for history</b>
    *Deselect: [ ] "Always use private browsing mode"
    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?
    There is a difference between remembering the name and password in the Password Manager and a "remember me" check box on a web page.<br />
    The latter usually involves the creation of a special "remember me" cookie that is stored on your computer and that is send to the server.<br />
    If that "remember me" cookie is removed or gets corrupted or is not send to the server then the server won't remember you and you need to sign in once again.

  • Why doesent Firefox does not remember Emails and passwords? Seems this issue started when 4.0 came out.....

    Well ever since FF 4.0 came out it doesn't seem to want to remember all my emails and passwords, once in a great while it will scroll down and show my email but once i click it it doesn't even place my password in, Such as accessing my email or logging into an account on the web such as Facebook, MySpace or anything like that, and i have to re-log in every single time when i used to do click, click Done, Id like to continue doing that...

    To ensure that no malicious software has been installed, try running several malware scanners. It is best to run several as each will pick up things that the others miss. Some scanners you can try are:
    * Malwarebytes - http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php
    * SuperAntiSpyware - http://www.superantispyware.com
    * Ad-Aware - http://www.lavasoft.com/products/ad_aware_free.php

    * Spybot S&D - http://www.safer-networking.org/en/home/index.html

  • Safari 5.0 will not prompt to remember username and passwords

    Safari 5.0 will not prompt to remember username and passwords for new sites I joined. It will remember the old ones but not the new. Under Safari< preferences> the autofill in all 3 places is checked. A box used to drop down when joining the site for the first time and say... Save Never Not Now.
    Now nothing happens. Anyone got any suggestions?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Go to ~/Library/Preferences and move the com.apple.keychainaccess.plist file to the Trash.
    Restart your Mac.
    If that didn't help, open Keychain Access (Applications/Utilities) Select Passwords on the left.
    Delete the *Safari Forms Autofill* keychain.
    Relaunch Safari.

  • Remember username and password not overwriting my wrong information when I type it in, keeps bringing up the wrong one

    when I try to sign in foxfire keeps putting in the wrong saved username and won't overwrite it when I put the correct one in. How do I delete it for the sight nomorerack?

    Make sure that you haven't saved Uppercase and Lowercase versions of that name and password.
    Remove saved Password(s):
    * Tools > Options > Security: Passwords: "Saved Passwords" > "Show Passwords"
    Websites may be using autocomplete=off to prevent Firefox from saving the name and password.<br />
    You can remove autocomplete=off with a bookmarklet to make Firefox save the name and password.

    If you need to remove saved data then use these steps:

  • Remember Usernames and Passwords

    One website doesn`t remember or offer to remember my username and passwords. It doesn`t present the box "remember password" either. Sometimes after i have logged in and come back later the username and password will appear when i click on the login box, but most times i have to type the details in because it`s not remembered. Any suggestions? Do you have a fix?
