Firefox never remembers my login names or passwords. I need help.

It sucks having to type them in every single time when Google Chrome remembers it on my work PC.

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.<br />
* 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.
Make sure that you do not run Firefox in Private Browsing mode.
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Private+Browsing
* In [[Private Browsing]] mode all cookies are session cookies that expire if that session is ended, so websites won't remember you.
* In [[Private Browsing]] mode Firefox won't fill names and passwords automatically and won't offer to store new passwords.
* 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.

  • Firefox had saved my login name and password for a site, when I changed the password, FF won't ask to save/update it so I have to enter it manually now. How do I get it to prompt me in FF7.01?

    Using FF7.01 on a HP Pavilion dv6775us laptop running Vista Home (updated continuously)
    The site owner changed the rules in order to improve password security so I was required to create a new password. When I did so I was not prompted by FF7.01 to save the new password.
    When I next logged into the site, FF remembered the user name but presented the old (invalid) password. I was forced to manually enter the new password, but again was not prompted to save it to FF.
    I then went into FF Security, viewed the saved passwords and deleted the entry for the site in question. I expected that when I logged into that site the next time I would be asked if I wanted to save the username and password. I wasn't.
    I then exited from FF and relaunched it and again logged into the site in question. I was not prompted to save the username or password.
    How do I force FF to ask for and then save the username and password?

    Thank you for your reply.
    My problem isn't removing my log-in name and password for a site.
    The problem is I already had the log-in name and password saved by FF, but I was required by the site to change the password. FF did not recognize that it had changed and refuses to prompt me to save the new password.
    After several attempts to force the prompt, I deleted the site from the Saved Password list, hoping that the next time I entered my log-in name and password on that site FF would ask if I wanted to save both. That did not happen even after exiting FF and relaunching it.
    So, right now FF will not save my log-in name and password for a site that it used track for me. Given the complexity of the new password, I really do not want to manually enter it every time I use the site.
    Regards.

  • How can I keep Firefox from keeping my login name and password from being in the dialog boxes when I sign on on gmail? It allows anyone to log into my email account

    When signing on to my gmail account the two dialog boxes, one for account name and the other for the password are already filled in. The password box has dots for the password but anyone who clicks on the sign in box can read my mail. How do I change this? It appears to be a Firefox related issue because it doesn't happen if I sign in on Safari or Internet Explorer. I would appreciate your help.

    See [[Remembering passwords]], you can turn this feature off.
    You also can [[Remembering passwords#Viewing and deleting passwords|view or delete the saved passwords]].
    Please let us know whether that works for you.

  • Help - Login Names and Passwords Disappear

    I recently encountered a problem while using Safari. As I usually do, I accessed a website where I have to enter a login name and password, like this one. When I click "submit" or press "enter" both the name and password simply disappear. I retype the information, and again its gone when I press "enter." This happens on every site that requires a login name and password, including this site. I am using Firefox in order to access this site and post this thread.
    Does anybody have any ideas as to how to fix this? Safari is my preferred browswer.

    Thank you for your reply. I solved my problem. Many sites requiring a login name and password, including Apple Discussions, also require that you allow them to set cookies in your system. I had set Safari Preferences > Security to never accept cookies. Apparently, doing this prevents these websites from accepting any login name or password you enter. Resetting Preferences > Security to accept cookies again allows me to use a login name and password.

  • Windows Login Name and Password

    Hi,
    I am developing an application, which requires the windows login name for greeting and password for validating and granting privileges.
    Could someone please give me the pseudo code for getting the windows login name and password.
    Thanks,
    Mitra.

    I'll try to validate some other parameter instead of
    password. The password will be stored but it will be
    encrypted.Bad Thing (TM). Never store passwords.
    When we are able to get the UserName using
    JavaScript, why can't we get it using Java.I told you how to get it. And what does Javascript have to do with anything? Just because you can drive through a very narrow alley with your bicycle, you should be able to do the same with a truck? Javascript and Java are not related in any way.

  • How do I stop the Key from popping up everytime I log on to a site with login name and password. This pop up is big and annoying and I'm ready to go back to IE than have that thing pop up huge and annoying.

    The pop up that asks if I want to save this login name and password everytime I login to a site. It is huge and annoying as hell. I just want to have an option to stop it. I know it's there, I don't need to be reminded everytime and if I wanted it to remember I would use it. Give me a break.

  • HT5129 i forgot my mobileMe login name and password

    How can I retrieve my mobilMe login name and password ? I forgot them. I guess my login name was an email, but I still don't remember it

    So why is it that if MobleMe is discontinues that I am getting MobileMe error when I try to sync my contacts?  This message comes up that I have 350 contacts that will be deleted.  I don't know how it came to that conclusion but I do not want to delete them.  Click on the ? in the warning box up pops the mobileme signin to continue.  It seems that if MobileMe has been discontinued this type of behavior should also be discontinued.  Maybe that's why people continue to have trouble with trying to access Mobileme... because that is where the Mac system is directing them???   Still haven't solved my sync problem.

  • Config Tool - Login name and password

    Hi,
    When I Launch the Config tool, it normally connect to the database directly without prompting for login name and password. Where does it get login information from and where does it store these information.
    Your help is greatly appreciated.
    Vince

    It always runs on the local machine where you Java stack is installed and connects to the default database schema (Java). You can look at the config.properties file under C:\usr\sap\J2E\JC00\j2ee\configtool for details

    You can take some of the steps here, #4, #5 or even trying a #18
    Step by Step to fix your Mac
    but I suspect your going to first have to create a data recovery drive
    Create a data recovery, undelete boot drive
    to get your data off the machine,
    then do a #20 to eliminate the bad sectors as that's why your getting the "pinwheel" it's getting a delay reading from the drive, right when your trying to log in too, what a bad spot for it to happen.

    I am not able to signin using apple ID in imassge and face book it says user name or password wrong plz help

    I think there has been a change in the password requirements for apple ID's.  I think it now needs to be eight characters long and have at least one capital letter and one number.  Got to appleid.apple.com and then to manage your account and change your password to something that meets the requirements I mentioned and see if that helps
