Gmail SMTP won't save password

I just upgraded to 1.1.3 last week and since then my iPhone refuses to save the password for my GMail SMTP server. If I try to send mail it gives me an error saying, "No password provided for user '[email protected]' on server 'smtp.gmail.com'. Please go to to Mail Account Settings and enter a password."
If I go to settings and enter a password, it disappears the minute I leave the settings panel.
I've tried restoring my iPhone twice, plus deleting and recreating the Mail account on the iPhone itself, all to no avail.
Any ideas? Thanks!

I am receiving the same problem as well after updating to 1.1.3. My email worked just fine before updating. But after updating, I notice my passwords were missing and now every time I input the password again through the Mail settings. It automatically removes itself each time I go to check the mail to see if it works... now I cannot access email like I used to.
Anybody with solutions? Thanks.

  • Safari won't save passwords

    Hello,
    I noticed recently that Safari is not asking anymore to save passwords. It still uses the one I have in Keychain but doesn't see, to care about new one. In Safari  preferences under auto-fill, everything is checked. I tried to trash the preference file, verivy keychain but nothing work.
    I use a Macbook pro with 10.7.4 and Safari 6.0
    Thanks for your help
    Serge

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up guest users” (without the quotes) in the search box. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem(s)?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
    Be sure your Mac is shut down.
    Press the power button.
    Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
    Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    *Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, you can’t boot in safe mode.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
    After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

  • Ver 3.6.3 won't save passwords, but box is checked to save them

    Using Windows 7 & Firefox 3.6.3 can't save passwords even though box is checked, bookmarks are blank icons,

  • Firefox 5.0 won't save passwords

    After checking the "save password" box, Firefox 5 doesn't ask to save passwords.

    Something enabled "Clear history when Firefox closes" in my Options settings (I didn't unless some odd key sequence can do it). If there is a plugin, malicious site, Norton SS (a prime suspect which also re-enabled its horrid toolbar), or a script then you guys might want to check into it and fix the issue. I lost dozens of username/passwords.

  • N95 8GB browser won't save passwords

    Hey all. After upgrading my N95 8GB NAM (N95-4) the browser no longer saves passwords. I've double-checked the setting multiple times -- even noticed that when I switch it off it asks me if I want to delete the saved passwords -- but after turning it on, it has YET to prompt me to save a password, or auto-fill a login/pass, on any page. Especially those it did just fine before the firmware upgrade.
    Any ideas?
    Now running -- v20.2.005 30-04-08 RM-421 N95 8GB(A6.02)

    Let me be clear: This is the result of JUST the firmware upgrade. After the upgrade I did not use any Content Copier backup to restore data, I did manual re-entry of all settings on the device with the exception of using the Settings Wizard to put the US AT&T access points information on the device, and using Mac iSync to put contacts and calendar data back onto the device. Everything in the Web app was manually set, including the option to save "Form & Password" data ... which is what is NOT being saved anymore.

  • [SOLVED] Remmina won't save passwords ...

    Greetings,
       In order Distros, I used to be able to put the password of my RDP configurations in Remmina, and it would keep it when saving it.
       This one doesn't.  I installed Remmina that way ...
    $ su
    $ pacman -S remmina freedrp
    I wasn't sure if it was a security issue, so I did ...
    $ cd ~/.remmina
    $ chmod 750 *
    But still the same things.
    Any suggestions?

    ... I forgot to say that I am using LXDE.  I have zero issues if I use Gnome, but I don't want to use Gnome just to have Remmina save passwords. 
    I am willing to take any suggestions, even the ones that may sound silly.  Anything is better than nothing. 
    Thx ...

  • FF 3.6.13 won't save password or dismiss the save password prompt.

    I enter a userid and password when logging in to a new web site account. I get the "do you want Firefox to remember the password for..." with the three options. I click to save the password for a web site, but save prompt won't dismiss automatically and save the password. My past saved passwords are remembered. I password protect the saved passwords.

  • Firefox won't save passwords; reminder option does not come up... on two different PCs in two different homes.

    Both PCs: XP PRO SP3; Seagate Barracuda HDs, routine environment for both, no games, Microsoft Office, Quicken, stuff like that. One is an ABIT 2.2 GHz clone; other is Compaq EVO 1.7GHz DT.... boring, boring, boring but both 3.50+ FF installations do same thing - Won't offer to save logons and PWs. Have done ALL, repeat ALL the usual TOOLS|OPTIONS stuff. Nothing, NADA, ZIP. Please help - suspect registry? - ABSOLUTELY!

    * Make sure that you not run Firefox in [[Private Browsing]] mode
    * In Private Browsing mode some menu items are disabled (grayed) and features like visited links are disabled and not showing
    * 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 <b>Firefox will: Use custom settings for history</b>

  • Firefox won't save passwords when I click to do so, only "not now" works

    When I enter a password for a new site, I get prompted to save it, but I can click to save multiple times but it is not accepted. If I click on not now it accepts the click.
    I am running Window 7 Home Premium 64 bit

  • IMAP preference won't save password

    I am repeatedly asked for the IMAP password. I insert it into preferences and request it to be saved. I also request it to be saved in keychain. The next time I open preferences, the password space is blank and I keep getting asked for the password. If I leave the preference screen on the desktop without closing/saving it the password stays and the prompting stops. Why can't I save the password?

    Oomnilen,
    I have been plagued by the same problem as yourself, and I kept getting dunned to enter my Web host's mail account(s) password in Mail. Nothing seemed to be helping...
    So I went to Keychain Access, found the Web host's mail server name in the list.
    After highlighting it, I did a "Get Info" on that item, (which brings up a pane for the server) and next clicked on the "Access Control" link.
    In the resulting pane, I then checked the box for "Ask for Keychain Password".
    Since doing this and re-starting Apple Mail, I have not been asked for my password for my mail accounts on my Web host (but it's only been a little while since I made this change).
    Just FYI...
    Cheers,
    Norm Caryl

  • After 10.6.1 Safari won't save passwords

    After installing SL 10.6.1 Safari no longer remembers autofill passwords. The user name shows up, but the password won't. When I fill in the password, the autofill prompt shows up and says "the password is different than what is stored, do you want to replace it?" The password ISN'T different, i have gone round and round with this. It will not autofill the password even after this prompt.
    _I have done the following:_
    -deleted related keychain, both the application password for the website as well as the Safari autofill keychain. Didn't help
    -I trashed the com.apple.safari plist file. Still no change.
    -I reinstalled 10.6.1 Still no change
    -I have done first aid of the keychain. Still no change.
    short of going back to 10.6 does anyone have a solution?
    I'm at a loss...does anyone have a solution??
    any help would be great
    thanks

    HI,
    Sounds like your Keychain preference files are corrupted. Locate this file:
    com.apple.keychainaccess.plist /Users/YourName/Library/Preferences. Drag that file from your Preferences folder to the Trash, empty the Trash and reboot.
    If that doesn't help...
    1) Quit Safari
    2) Open Keychain Access. (Applications/Utilities) Find the "Safari AutoFill" item. Delete it.
    3) Relaunch Safari. Next time it asks for authorization, click "Always Allow".

  • Safari 4 Won't Save Passwords

    Now, let me start off with the fact that I did a search, and others had the same problem, but were told, it was them, not Safari. Again, new passwords will not save, and old ones(From Safari 3)are gone. From every site, not just high security places like banks. I'm using 10.5.8, and everything is checked in autofill. Since the second I upgraded(4.0.2), it stopped working. Any help is appreciated.

    HI,
    Safari/Keychain fix:
    Sounds like your Keychain preference files are corrupted. Locate this file:
    com.apple.keychainaccess.plist
    ~/Library/Preferences. Drag that file from your Preferences folder to the Trash and restart your Mac.
    If that doesn't help...
    1) Quit Safari
    2) Open Keychain Access. (Applications/Utilities) Find the "Safari AutoFill" item. Delete it.
    3) Relaunch Safari. Next time it asks for authorization, click "Always Allow".

  • SAVING ISSUES!!! Firefox won't save passwords, won't ask to save them. I've used this for 2 years +. I know where the settings are. New comp, Windows 7, Ffx 4. Prompted to save the password 5 times and stopped

    The settings are all correct. New machine. Only has the operating system and Firefox. No conflicting programs. It did 5 then stopped. Nothing has been added or changed since downloading FF.

    Same issue here. I am '''NOT '''running in Private Browsing mode.
    This may be an issue related to other add-ons, or not. I tried the remember-password bookmarklet with one site and it Worked! But when I looked in the saved passwords, the new userid and password were not there. I waited a few minutes and looked again, and mysteriously, it was there. Perhaps a caching issue. Exceptions box is empty.
    I think this in an important issue that must be tracked and not assumed is always an operator-error.
