Firefox with proxy configured keeps on asking for username and password

This was asked a while ago, but no solution every posted.
I use FF at work with a proxy. When I upgraded to FF28, an "old" problem came back - FF constantly pops up a window saying the Proxy is asking for a username and password. I did nit have this problem with the previous version of FF. It doesn't seem to remember the password, and will ask several times for the same page. Has gotten so disruptive I've moved over to Chrome for now.
Thoughts on why this issue started again with FF28? Thoughts on how I can get it to stop and make the browser usable again?

  • I phone keeps on asking for username and password

    Everytime I open an app my iphone keeps on asking for the username and pasword. Does anyone know how to stop this?

    Settings>Store...make sure you are signed in.

  • I keep getting asked for  username and password on both IMAP and Exchange when on 3G network but not Wifi!

    We are having serious issues with one of our Google Apps accounts. We have done everything we can think of to get it to work properly on 3G but for some reason it continually asks for the user's password no matter how many times we enter it. However, it does work on WiFi!!
    The iPhone says "Cannot get mail, the username or password for USERNAME is incorrect."
    This happens on both Exchange and on IMAP accounts. We have deleted the accounts and set them up again several times but to no avail.
    It is also worth noting that I have exactly the same settings on my identical iPhone and have no problems whatsoever so we think it may be something with the google configuration.
    Please help!!

    Try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.

  • Problem with iWeb asking for username and password to access my public site

    Today for some reason anyone trying to access my site is being asked for username and password. I have made no changes that would require a password. My site has always been public.

    I am having the same problems. My site is public, I checked the settings on the public folder on MobileMe to ensure that it was public and did not require password protection either. But for some odd reason, even though I didn't change anything, my site's pages seem to require a user name and password to get into them. If one continues to click cancel, the page continues to load.
    This does not happen every single time, but it happens more often than not. I have tried this with my iMac, Macbook, as well as my iPod Touch, and I get this on all machines. My brother has tried logging in from another location using his Macbook Pro, and he gets the password prompt as well.
    I tried turning on password protection to the site and uploading the changes, then disabling password protection and reupping the changes once again. I've tried uploading entire site, instead of just changes, but the problem continues to persist. I definitely need this issue solved since this site is important to me.
    The site url is: http://www.globalwinetour.com
    Does anyone have any suggestions to rectify this, or does anyone have any idea what is causing it? Am I missing something here? Am I doing something wrong? Please help me out!
    Many thanks in advance!

  • Sharepoint2013 Stop asking for UserName and Password

    Hi,
    I have Installed New sharePoint2013 Server , I face Issue that Sharepoint Site keep asking for UserName and Password aeach Time.
    I set as  windows authentication in both IIS and Central Administration ,
    and I configure The IE and I set Automatic Login with Current Username And Password and I put it in Trusted site  and nothing  change.
    I also have sharepoint 2010 server and when I configure it like above it
    stopped ask me for UserName and Password ,
    Can any one help me what maybe  the problem in SharePoint server2013.
    thank you,,,

    Hi,
    Try following these steps:
    Adding the site to Local Intranet Zone: 
    Navigate to Tools > Internet Options
    Under Security tab, navigate to Local Intranet > Sites > Advanced. Enter the URL of your SharePoint site and click Add. Uncheck theRequire server
    verification (https:) for all sites in this zone box and click Close
    Adding the entry to the Credentials Manager: 
    Go to Start > Run and type in control keymgr.dll to open the Windows key manager.
    Alternatevily: navigate to Contorl Panel > User Accounts > Manager Windows Credentials
    Select Add a generic credential
    Add your SharePoint site URL, login and password to the corresponding fields. If this entry already exists, edit it to have your login credentials. 
    Reboot the computer.
    If you are missing the Add button, you may want to modify Windows Registry to be able to save the password.
    Note: for editing Windows Registry, administrator rights are required. Editing Windows Registry is not safe and you will perform it at your own risk.
    In Windows, go to Start > Run and enter regedit.
    Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa\.
    Find the DisableDomainCreds entry. A value of 1 (enabled) will prevent you from saving new credentials. 
    Change the value to 0 and reboot. Now you should have the Add button available. Note that 0 is the default value.
    Also check the LmCompatibilityLevel entry. It should be set to 3, which is the default value. If you have another value, change it to 3. If it does not
    work with 3, then also try it with 2.
    Reboot the computer to apply changes.

  • Why asking for username and password once entered

    Hi!
    While configuring a new account in Outlook 2010 from Internet it asks for username and password one more time even after entering it once at the beginning of the account setup.
    Can anybody provide some details. Can't the automatic setup take the entered credentials once for all?
    Exchange 2010 and 2013
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    Based on my experience, the credential issue can be caused by the connectivity issue.
    Thus, let’s check if Outlook Anywhere connection is well by using ExRCA:

  • New Imac. I get rid off login password from security and account and restart. Now it asks for username and password and it's not acepting anything. Any ideas?

    New Imac. I get rid off login password from security and accounts and restart. Now it asks for username and password and it's not acepting anything. Any ideas?

    First, reset your password as follows.
    Boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
    When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select Utilities ▹ Terminal from the menu bar.
    In the Terminal window, type this:
    resetpassword
    That's one word with no spaces. Then press return. A Reset Password window opens.
    Select your boot volume if not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
    Follow the prompts to reset the password. It's safest to choose a password that includes only the characters a-z, A-Z, and 0-9.
    Select  ▹ Restart from the menu bar.
    You should now be able to log in with the new password, but you won't be able to unlock the Keychain. If you've forgotten the Keychain password (which is ordinarily the same as your login password), there's no way to recover it. You’ll need to reset your keychain in the preferences of the Keychain Access application.
    If you're being prompted to authenticate when making changes to files inside your home folder, continue as follows.
    Back up all data now.
    This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
    Step 1
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Drag or copy — do not type — the following line into the Terminal window, then press return:
    sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -R $UID:20 ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ 2> /dev/null
    Be sure to select the whole line by triple-clicking anywhere in it. You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. You don't need to post the warning. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command.
    The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
    Step 2
    Boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
    When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select Utilities ▹ Terminal from the menu bar. A text window opens.
    In the Terminal window, type this:
    resetpassword
    That's one word with no spaces. Then press return. A Reset Password window opens. You’re not going to reset a password.
    Select your boot volume if not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
    Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
    Select  ▹ Restart from the menu bar.

  • RE1000 asks for username and password

    I have the RE1000 installed as extender for my WRT110 router. I was told by Linksys live chat tech that this would be suitable for our home network. When in the family room or on patio (where I have weak WiFi usually), the Extender shows on my iPad in the list of available WIFI and has excellent icon (the router usually has one or two bars and goes in and out).
    When I try to access the Extender on my iPad, it asks for username and password but will not take it. Should I run setup again or what? 
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    in setting up the range extender, it will give you the option to connect to your network. so essentially, you will not have to define/ specify the settings manually. the purpose of the range extender is to extend the signal of the main network, not create a separate network of its own.
    i suggest that you RESET the range extender and run the setup wizard again. make sure to connect the device to your network. once the devices have synced up, you will be able to fully utilize this device.

  • ITunes asking for username and password on XP

  • When using SSL Word Files ask for username and password.

    I have SharePoint Foundation 2013 setup and it works great.  I need to allow users access when they are not connected to our local network, so for testing purposes I added a domain signed certificate and assigned it to IIS on 443. Internally when
    I try to access the site IE now ask me for a username and password and when I open a word file Word then ask me for a username password again. If it didn't do it in http why is it happening with https and how can I fix it?  Externally I know users will
    have to login but they should have to only login in once right?

    After doing some more research it seems that it is just not possible to use Windows authentication along with FQDN without being prompted for username and password in SharePoint.  Can anyone confirm this? I am sorry what a bad design of a program. 
    Did anyone think at Microsoft that organizations might want employees to work from outside of their network in the year 2013 using the username and passwords they already have.

  • Outlook asking for username and password, but only for some users

    Hello, I'm
    in an Exchange Server 2013 client
    environment, two CAS servers
    and two Mailbox.
    Some users are having trouble in Outlook 2007
    and 2012, which is directly
    requesting the user name and password, not all,
    just some.
    The Active Directory is ok,
    DNS and also own Exchange
    servers apparently do not see errors.
    Has anyone here ever experienced this?
    How can I solve this problem?
    As this happens only to some users
    and the vast majority have no problems, so
    difficult to find the cause.
    Thank you!
    Ivanildo Teixeira Galvão

    Hi Ivanildo,
    From your description, only some users have an issue that Outlook prompts for username and password. In your case, I recommend you compare the normal and problematic Outlook settings. Here is the Outlook settings in my environment for your reference:
    1. "Always prompt for logon credentials" isn't checked.
    2. Logon network security using Negotiate Authentication.
    3. "Connect to Microsoft Exchange using HTTP" is checked.
    4. Use the NTLM Authentication when connecting to my proxy server for Exchange.
    Hope this can be helpful to you.

  • Proxy Server asking for username and password almost 6 times for every page I load, but the same doesn't happen with other browsers like chrome

    The same question keeps popping up again and again "The proxy moz-proxy://proxy.iitm.ac.in:3128 is requesting a username and password. The site says: "moz-proxy://proxy.iitm.ac.in:3128""
    Even after i give the right details, it asks me like 5 more times before it completely loads the page. Some times it happens only 2 times.
    With other browsers like chrome, it asks only in the beginning. it doesn't occur after that.
    This started occurring only recently. i upgraded to firefox 9.0 and it functioned properly for more than 12 hours before it started occuring. i tried downgrading back to 8.0.1 but the problem still continued.

    i'm afraid i need to use proxy settings to connect to internet. The settings are all fine because it used to work properly all this time. i specify the proxy address and the port, which is correct, i am very confident. it is so because the page actually loads on firefox, but not before it asks for my user name and password for it a lot of times, and for every page. for other browsers, it asks only in the beginning, that is, when i start the browser.
    i've put three pics here. under the first two settings, the third image showing the user name and password thingy popping up. this happens a lot of times for every page.

  • Outlook 2007 keeps asking for username and password

    We have a new exchange 2007 SP1 server but occasionally the outlook clients will ask for the username and password.
    Is this a bug or does anyone have a fix?

    Hi Edwin,
    I have an SBS 2008 install with a similar problem.  Using a GoDaddy Cert.  Worked fine prior to me running an update to the server.  So I think we are getting some where here.
    Symptoms
    Win Server 2008 (Or SBS 2008)
    Exchange 2007
    Outlook Anywhere Enabled (RPC-HTTP)
    SSL Cert Signed by GoDaddy
    Outlook 2007 Clients
    Outlook 2007 Clients show Login prompt to the 'remote.example.com' cancel or disable keeps poping it up after some time.
    RPC-DIAG shows no problems
    Client not configured for RPC-HTTPs
    Outlook 2003 Clients unaffected
    Things I have tried:
    Basic  & Windows Authentication on the EWS Virtual Directory in IIS7 on Exchange 07 (SBS 08) box - No Joy
    New Profile on Outlook 2007 win XP SP3 - No Joy
    New Profile on Outlook 2003 win XP SP3 - Works, but rest of office running Outlook 2007
    Disabling Outlook Anywhere  - No Joy
    Visiting https://remote.example.com on affected Outlook 2007 win XP SP3 Machine - No Error Pages, or dialog boxes, Internet Explorer sees it as a valid Cert
    Any KB Articles, or notices?? I have two end-user with a possible third (Business owner) who are getting cranky. :(
    EDIT: Found a fix for me potentially via - http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/exchangesvrdeploy/thread/c1e72d2a-d360-4ff0-b2f5-1a9ae149df18 and http://www.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/list/en-us/default.aspx?dg=microsoft.public.exchange.admin&mid=00d4a681-f588-4eed-b4f8-5c3645e7376c&sloc=en-us

    I had an issue similar to this. Win2k3 Ex07. All of my Outlook 2007
    users were getting prompted over and over for the username and
    password. It wasn't checking the certificate that they had installed
    via internet explorer. To fix the problem, I opened IIS on the
    Exchange server and checked the following directories under the
    default website (the root site(default web site), oab, autodiscover).
    Under the directory security tab, click Edit in the Secure
    Communications section. I had the require SSL checked and the 128bit
    encryption, but under Client Certificates, it was set to ignore. Once
    I changed that to Accept for each of the folders, stopped and started
    IIS, I stopped being prompted all the time for credentials. Hopefully
    this will help someone in the future.
    Just confirmed fixed for client!!!
