Firefox no longer stores log-in names and passwords

Firefox only sporadically prompts me to choose "Remember" when I register a new log-in and password. How can I get Firefox to remember log-ins and passwords, or how can I manually enter them so that the browser remembers them?

How do I make Firefox remember my usernames and passwords?

Check and tell if its working.

Firefox will not save my user name and password for one of my sites. How can I fix this problem. It is getting annoying having to reenter every time I check this site. Is there a solution.

I had my user name and password saved for my library site. My grandson hit something and now the saved user name and password are gone. It asks me every time to enter it and it is getting annoying. How do I fix this. I want Firefox to remember these codes.

You can create a bookmark with the JavaScript code via a right-click on the "Remember Password" link on the squarefree.com website and choose "Bookmark This Link" and select the "Bookmarks Toolbar" as the destination folder for easy access.
* https://www.squarefree.com/bookmarklets/forms.html#remember_password
You need to use the "Remember Password" bookmarklet before or after filling the name and password field on the website with the <u>login form</u>, but before submitting the login form by clicking a button on the web page.
If the site is using autocomplete="off" then you see a number not equal to 0 (i.e. attributes were removed) in the pop-up alert from the bookmarklet and Firefox should offer to remember the name and password via a drop down dialog of the key icon that will appear on the location bar (Firefox 4+) or via an info bar at the top (Firefox 3).

How come firefox does not remember my user name and password for the verizon wireless website ? or verizon wireless ?

how come when i log onto the verizon wireless web site to pay my bill, i have to sign my user name and password every time ? i am not getting the firefox pop up asking me if i want firefox to save my password for this site. so how do i get firefox to remember my log in information for my verizon wireless website ? thank you.

This would be verizonwireless.com, correct? Their site requests that browsers should not save information for its login form.
If you're comfortable with using bookmarklets, there's one here that should force Firefox to remember:

TM Stores remote access name and password incorrectly

Has anyone had problems using TM with a shared disc on a remote machine ? TM ask for a account name and password to mount the disc but does not store it correctly and then can mount the disc on future backups. You should not have to leave the shared remote disc mounted on your machine constantly, TM should mount the disc when it performs a backup and then unmount it. It has worked for me for a while and then the name a password got corrupted and it quit working unless I mount the remote disc manually and leave it mounted 24/7.
Anyone had these problems ?

Hello there,
I just recently had a similar problem after installing some updates! It was working perviously without problem, but not now. I am not sure if there is a connection between the newly installed updates and this problem.
I deleted the passwords from keychain then saved them, but still without avail.

How do I enter a "log-in name" and "password" in Security Tab options page; some sites block screen-sweeper?

The data screen-sweeper in Mozilla seems to be blocked by some sites I need to log into, since Mozilla security does not input username and password data. How do I input this info thru Options/Security/Saved Passwords tab for these sites? Thanks!

If there is a password field on a web page and you have saved a password then Firefox may try to fill that password and enter the name in the field just above that password field.
You can look at:
* Saved Password Editor: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/60265
*Form History Control: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/12021
You may want to disable saved form fill to prevent Firefox from filling the name.
* [[Form autocomplete]]

I want to make a list of my log in names and passwords that are stored in my Firefox profile to give my wife

Wife and I are old. I am afraid if I die my dear wife won't be able to access any of our joint bank and investment accounts.
All I want to do is provide a list for her. I can see the list in the Security window. I highlighted the list, but cannot copy or print it.
Can someone help, please.

Firefox will not remember multiple user names and passwords for same site, yet it used to do so. Any ideas?

I belong to several publishers website, and I often have to access more than one author's account, which requires that I use their user name (usually an email address) and their password. In the past, whenever I double clicked on the space for user name, I would see all of those user names appear that I use for that site. When I clicked on the one I wanted, the stored password would appear in the password window, and I could log in. Now, it only shows me the most recent user name that I have used. I don't understand how to make it do what it used to do. Any ideas?

Is it possible that that name is stored in a "remember me" cookie ?
*"Remove the Cookies" from that site: Firefox > Preferences > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"

My iphone no longer recognizes my email name and password

Does anyone have any helpful suggestions for resetting this issue, I deleted the account and am trying to recreate it, but even during the setup process for the new account, I'm getting the same error message?! I have an iphone 4. Thanks.

These articles are out of date when the new Airport Utility came out.
You can't even choose a band like I mentioned above if you are using Airport Utility 6.0....
Yes, with the older Airport Utility, you could choose one band or the other....
This Apple doc describes the Dual Band and the Simultaneous Band in comparing the different Base Stations.

Using my Web.Mail account with demon (THUS). I can NOT login using Firefox but I CAN with (choke) Internet Explorer. The login names and passwords ARE correct.

Initially, the Demon support desk asked me to reset all my browsing history which did nothing.
I tried Internet Explorer (7.0.5730.11) and this too failed initially but after several tries, I managed to log in and collect my mails.
I then logged out and tried Firefox, which failed (Incorrect log in name or password).
I immediately tried IE again and got in first time.
In Firefox (TOOLS, OPTIONS, SECURITY, EXCEPTIONS), I set web.mail.demon.net to permit the site any access that might have been denied.
The user name and password ARE correct (that would be too easy) but Firefox seems not to send one of these correctly ??? or is not sending something I.E. does.
aarghhh

From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
Turn all extensions OFF and test. If the problem is resolved, turn extensions back ON and then disable them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.
If you wish, you may be able to salvage the errant extension by uninstalling and reinstalling it. Its settings will revert to their defaults. If the extension still causes a problem, remove it permanently or refer to its developer for support.

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.

Hello nkrlw,
It may be that AutoFill is disabled in Safari, or that Private Browsing is on.
Go to Settings > Safari > Passwords & AutoFill and make sure that Names and Passwords is on.
Go to your Home screen and open Safari. If Safari is black or dark instead of white or gray, Private Browsing is on. Safari doesn't save account names and passwords when Private Browsing is on. To turn off Private Browsing:
On iPad, tap the the plus icon in the upper-right corner of the Safari page, then tap Private in the lower-left corner.
On iPhone and iPod touch, tap in the lower-right corner of the Safari page, then tap Private in the lower-left corner.

Safari not autofilling names and passwords.

Just updated Safari on my ipad 2, and now it no longer auto fills user names and passwords. Auto fill is selected, ipad has been rebooted, and reset but it will not work. Forums state that this is a known Safari bug. What is being done.

What website did you have problems with?
Have you reported this to Apple at http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html ?
I haven't seen this problem but it may only occur on certain web sites.

HT1222 While installing why does it ask name and password ?

i was installing itunes as my software of laptop flied away so my itunes dint work so i redownloaded it and now it is asking me name and password which i dont know as i dint recover the mac software ... please help me i cant use my new ipad 3 because of this ...

It is asking the name and password for an administrator on the computer. If you are the only use then likely you are also the administrator and you need to use your log in name and password. OSX does this to prevent non-authorized installtion of software on a computer.

How can I get Firefox to run on a network with multiple users logging on with the same user name and password?

I am trying to get Firefox running on a large network where I have multiple users that log on with the same user name and password. The problem is that when another user logs on to another computer the message comes up that their is already an instance of firefox running on that computer even though there really isn't. Only one instance can be run on the network at one time. I believe it is because firefox stores a shared profile as it thinks it is actually the same user even though it is being run on another computer. I repeat that each user that logs on uses the same user name and password but on different computers.
