How do I add "exceptions" to the "remember passwords for sites" feature in Tools/Options/Security?

I like when FireFox remembers and automatically posts user names and password when I go on to most sites. But there are some I do not wish to automatically be posted. However, when I select "Exceptions" within the Tools/Options/Security/Remember Passwords For Sites pathway, all I can do is see the sites that are exceptions. This facility doesn't seem to allow you to add a site (which would then become an exception). Please advise.

Tools > Options > Security > Passwords: Exceptions
Include those that you do not want to save passwords for, such as those regard banks, credit cards, or other financial institutions.
To remove one already created use the "Saved Passwords" on that dialog,
after supplying master password (twice if you view passwords),
:Select the site and use "Remove" to remove the unwanted password.
:Certainly hope you do assign a Master Password to provide some protection to your passwords.
I like that '''about:permissions''' noted by xr417, it does same as above, but allows you to modify something already in system easier. Don't think I've seen that before. Did a search on bank and found an old account/password -- don't even want an old one there.

  • Firefox will NOT remember passwords although I've checked the "Remember Passwords for Sites" option.

    The question is just as I posed it - Firefox forgets to keep the passwords for sites, even after I'm prompted to do so each time a site is opened.

    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?
    Websites remembering you and automatically log you in is stored in a cookie.
    * 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.
    * In [[Private Browsing]] mode all cookies are session cookies that expire if that session is ended, so websites won't remember you.
    * 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.

  • I can't turn off "Remember passwords for sites." It keeps coming back on.

    No matter how many times I uncheck "Remember passwords for sites" it keeps coming back on.

    This issue can be caused by an extension.
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    * https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    * Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    * Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
    In Firefox 4 you can use one of these to start in <u>[[Safe mode]]</u>:
    * Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
    * Hold down the Shift key while double clicking the Firefox desktop shortcut (Windows)

  • Why is my saved Facebook password not used when both "Permanent Private Browsing" and "Remember Passwords for Sites" are enabled?

    After entering and saving my Facebook user name and password, the data is not used for subsequent entries into the application after the browser is reset. "Remember Passwords for Sites" is checked, but the data is only used if I do NOT have "Permanent Private Browsing enabled. Why does "Permanent Private Browsing" effect passwords? (Note: Facebook is NOT in the "Passwords / Exceptions..." list.)

    I agree that password protection may be considered important by some for Private Browsing, however if that is the intention, then it would be one of the delineated items such as...remember browser history, remember download history, etc. that are check-listed under that function. Also, having a separate Passwords option implies that their functions are mutually exclusive and therefore should function independent of one another.
    Thanks for your response.

  • I can't get rid of the 'Remember password for..' box (top left)

    When I login to a website (2 sites so far, including this one) and the Remember password box pops up, I can't get rid of it. I click the x it doesn't close..I click 'not now'..'never remember password for this site'..nothing..it wont disappear..If I minimize the window it can disappear until I move the mouse towards the top of the window and it comes back..any ideas?..bug maybe?

    Sorry, the place I need to delete my account is in system.  I no longer have an account with Facebook, my 14 days are gone.  Yet I can not delete a Facebook address from my account.  Will let me remove my real email, but not facebooks.

  • How to raise a exception if the incoming value for a source field is empty

    Dear all,
    I have a scenario where the source and target structures are as follows :
    The output for the above transformation logic is
    The occurrence for field id in source and target is 1:1   Even if i don't provide the input value for id field,
    system is not throwing any runtime exception.But if the field tag id is missing in incoming payload, then
    system throws exception.
    1) *** How can i raise a exception it the value for field id is empty
    2) As the target structure occurrence for field id is 1:1  why system doesn't throw exception for null value
    Regards
    Koti Reddy

    1) *** How can i raise a exception it the value for field id is empty
    You need to impliment the check  to throw the error
    2) As the target structure occurrence for field id is 1:1  why system doesn't throw exception for null value
    You are sending a blank value " " and the same is being passed. if you remove the tag from source xml it'll throw the error

  • How do I add myself to the "staff" group for a samba share?

    Hi all,
    I've been struggling with this for a few hours now. I searched but could not find the answer (neither here nor google).
    I am trying to set up a samba share on my raspberry pi and have it accessible by all other computer on my local network (just a home network). I want it set up so that when I access the share via my linux desktop I have read/write privileges, but when other users (my family, variety of linux and windows machines) access it they have read-only access and do not have to enter a password. I am not sharing any printers. The raspberry pi and my desktop are both running arch.
    I am currently able to mount the share, but I only have read-only access. In the smb.conf file it has a pre-configured section for A publicly accessible directory, but read only, except for people in the "staff" group, which is the section I have tried to use. My user name on my desktop is 'gav', and I have created a user with the same name on the pi. On both the pi and the desktop I have added 'gav' to the staff group (using groupadd and usermod -aG).
    On Windows machines: a Windows 7 desktop found the share and prompted for a password, I entered my password (as 'gav') and could access files, but read-only. A windows 8 laptop couldn't see it at all.
    Here are some outputs of some things:
    testparm (on the pi)
    Load smb config files from /etc/samba/smb.conf
    rlimit_max: increasing rlimit_max (1024) to minimum Windows limit (16384)

    Consider using sshfs to mount your Pi from your Linux boxes.  It's much easier to configure and manage than samba.  It sounds like you already have your Windows machines mounting your Pi so Samba is doing its job in that respect.
    More info on sshfs in the Wiki: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Sshfs
    To help get you off the dime, here's a modified line from my fstab that I use to mount my Pi with:
    gav@PI:/mnt/backup /mnt/rpi/backup fuse.sshfs rw,relatime,user_id=0,group_id=0,allow_other 0 0
    Subsitute my mount points with yours.
    For a password-less mount:
         ssh-copy-id gav@PI
    after you've set up ssh and generated some keys on your client box.
    Here are some relevant lines from the smb.conf file on my Pi that I use for my one Windows box in the house that might help you with your write permissions:
       security = user
      hosts allow = 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0
      guest account = gav
    ; And my share setup:
    [rpi]
       comment = Public Stuff
       path = /mnt
       writable = yes
    ;   printable = no
    ;   write list = @krb
    [torrent_dl]
       path = /mnt/video/torrent_dl
       writable = yes
       create mask = 0770
       directory mask = 0770
       guest ok = Yes
       case sensitive = No
       read only = No
    Hope this helps.
