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"

Email send/receive suddenly doesn't work ; can't change email settings as BB phone won't accept valid username and password -- what to do?

email send/receive suddenly doesn't work (as of September 24th); I can't change email settings (one suggestion from tech) as BB phone won't accept *valid* username and password -- what to do?
I understand from a support note that if I keep trying my password/username combination, my BB will eventually delete all data!
I can't understand this. I'm completely lost now. I can't remember what I've done or tried to do. A plethora of usernames and passwords is swimming in my head.
Thanks for any hints. I have always loved this BB Bold and have never had any trouble with it.

But the real question is why for the past year did the passwords work and then all of the sudden after this anomaly the disk password doesn't work? I'm not 100% sure of what my configuration was, but I know that most of the time it required one password -- supervisor, and occasionally it asked for 2 -- disk password as well I believe. This may have been related to the Password on Restart setting I think -- asking for the disk password on cold vs. warm boot. But I know both were exactly the same. But after this incident only the Supervisor password worked.

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.

Just installed 7.3.1.3, won't accept my username and password

Obviously my username and password are correct since I'm able to login in here, but now when I try to do anything in iTunes in regards to new downloads, it doesn't accept my login. I get the error "FieldName: null. java.lang.Exception". Sounds like a programming error.

Hmmm. Interesting. The only thing that I can think of (for now, at least) would be to try updating Java on your computer.

Creating txt file to store input username and password

Hi everyone,
I'm new to java, and have been having a hard time with this code.
My goal is to allow the user to enter in their username and password which should be concatentated as a string and stored into a text file. I am unable to link the two input fields as one string of characters. I know i'm approaching this wrong, but am uncertain of where i need to begin.
Code is as follows:
/*Purpose: To allow the user to input their desired username and password
*which will be stored in a data structure for later use; for instance when
*the user wants to use the application again their username and password
*will be assigned the same/linking locations, hence they will be validated.
*inputed username and password should be stored in a text field for later use
*of validating login possbily using a search method

DW 11.0.4 won't save site usernames and passwords

After upgrading to 11.0.4, usernames and passwords vanished for all of my sites. I re-entered, tested and they all worked properly. But the next time I opened DW, they were blank again. Any help would be appreciated as I maintain several non-profit sites.

Hi, gatorf8. Welcome to the Adobe user-to-user forums!
I am sorry to hear you are having this issue, and I would like to help you get this sorted.
Since installing the 11.0.4 update, have you completely restarted your computer?
If you do so, your login credentials should re-appear as they were before updating.

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:
*https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox/Releases/30/Site_Compatibility#Security
In Firefox 30 and later NTLMv1 auth has been disabled, NTLM support on non-Windows platforms is now deprecated
In Firefox 31 support for NTLMv1 auth has been restored for secure connections only (Bug 1023748).
*network.negotiate-auth.allow-insecure-ntlm-v1 = false
*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.

In article: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Password_Manager#Backing_up_and_restoring_passwords
*'''Backing up and restoring passwords '''

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.

Auto input Default Username and Password

Hi David ,
When I am connecting AWM 11.2.0.2A version with the AWM database and it is prompting for username and password for the target AWM schema . Can we autoinput and take the username and password defined somewhere so that once the database has been clicked it will logged in without prompting for username and password.
Many thanks,
Debashis

No, there is no facility to store the username and password between sessions. Oracle's security coding policies are pretty strict on this kind of thing.
