How do i get firefox to un-remember a number or password?

When I try to log into an account using my ten digit phone # which firefox remembers, I get an error message that my phone # needs to be ten digits (which it is). I can go to another website and access the log in page and type in my phone # and password and immediately gain access to my account. I figure if I can start over entering with firefox not remembering my info then it might work.

  • How do I get firefox to UN-remember passwords I asked it NOT to remember?

    I have only a couple sites that I do not want my password remembered. Usually, I would just ignore the question box asking me if I want the password remembered/saved - but I finally clicked on the drop-down option and clicked on "do not remember this password, ever". From THAT MOMENT ON, it saved my login details for those sites. I cleared all my cookies on Firefox, & it's still there. Those sites ARE, however, noted as being on my 'exceptions' list for sites that Firefox will not remember; when I search the list of sites that have saved passwords, those few sites are not on that list - as they shouldn't be. So what gives? What's the point of a do not remember option if it's just another save button in disguise? Can someone tell me what I'm missing, or can do to unsave those details I want to keep private?

    You can remove all data stored in Firefox from a specific domain via "Forget About This Site" in the right-click context menu of an history entry ("History > Show All History" or "View > Sidebar > History") or via the about:permissions page.
    Using "Forget About This Site" will remove all data stored in Firefox from that domain like bookmarks, cookies, passwords, cache, history, and exceptions, so be cautious and if you have a password or other data from that domain that you do not want to lose then make sure to backup this data or make a note.
    You can't recover from this 'forget' unless you have a backup of the involved files.
    It doesn't have any lasting effect, so if you revisit such a 'forgotten' website then data from that website will be saved once again.

  • How do you get firefox to automatically enter my username and password?

  • How can I get Firefox to autocomplete my username without my password?

    I need to enter a secure website with a password. I just want to enter the first letter of my username so it can autocomplete without my password showing up.

    Use form fill to store the user name.

  • 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 <b>Firefox will: Use custom settings for history</b>
    * Uncheck: [ ] "Automatically start Firefox in a private browsing session"

  • How can I get Firefox to remember an existing password?

    How can I get Firefox to remember an existing password which was set before Firefox was installed?

    Never mind: I misread your problem.

  • How can I get firefox to remember my password?

    I removed my user name and password under stored passwords because the password was changed. How can I get it to store the user name and password again because the pop up for it never shows up?

    If the name stays the same and you only need to change (update) the stored password then fill the name in the login form and let Firefox fill the wrong password.<br />
    You may have to press the Tab key to fill the password field.<br />
    If you replace the wrong password with the new password then Firefox should offer to store the new password.<br />
    Use the Remember Password bookmarklet on websites that use "autocomplete=off" to prevent Firefox from saving passwords.<br />
    You can verify that Firefox has stored the new password: Tools > Options > Security: Passwords: "Saved Passwords" > "Show Passwords"<br />
    If that didn't work then remove that name and password in the Password Manager and Firefox should offer to save the new password on the next visit or after reloading the login page.<br />
    If you have problems to remember a new password then make sure that you remove all entries from that server (look for an empty name as well) and also check the exceptions to make sure that the site is not listed there.

  • How can I get Firefox to remember a password?

    I was trying to log in to a website but had forgotten my password so I was routed to the security questions. Each time I entered a security question answer, the little Firefox box popped up asking me if I wanted Firefox to remember this "password". Each time I clicked on "Not now" and continued. When I had finally been sent a temporary password, logged into the site and changed the password, I logged out and logged in again. Of course, this time the little box did not pop up offering to remember the password! How do I get Firefox to remember my password?

    The website may be using autocomplete=off to prevent Firefox from saving and filling the name and password.
    You can remove autocomplete=off with a bookmarklet to make Firefox save names and passwords and other form data.

  • How do you get Firefox to remember the response sent to remember password for a site and then not ask the same question over and over?

    How do you get Firefox to remember the response sent to remember password for a web site and not ask over and over? The desktop version has a dialog box that you can check that says "Don't ask me this again". The mobile version doesn't. A real pain!
    Thankx

    You can switch off or uncheck the remember password in your settings :-)

  • How do I get firefox to remember my ID and password on websites

    Firefox will not remember my ID or Password on any websites. I have checked the remember passwords for sites in the Options Security section and it still will remember or ask if I want it to remember passwords

    Websites remembering you and automatically log you in is stored in a cookie.
    *Create an Allow cookie exception to keep such a cookie, especially for secure websites and if cookies expire when Firefox is closed.
    *Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: Exceptions
    In case you are using "Clear history when Firefox closes":
    *do not clear the Cookies
    *do not clear the Site Preferences
    *Tools > Options > Privacy > Firefox will: "Use custom settings for history": [X] "Clear history when Firefox closes" > Settings
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Clear+Recent+History
    Note that clearing "Site Preferences" clears all exceptions for cookies, images, pop-up windows, software installation, and passwords.
    Clearing cookies will remove all specified (selected) cookies including cookies with an allow exception.
    Note that your System Details List shows that you have a user.js file in the profile folder to initialize some prefs on each start of Firefox.
    The user.js file is only present if you or other software has created it, so normally it wouldn't be there.
    You may want to check its content with a plain text editor if you didn't create this file yourself.
    The user.js file is read each time you start Firefox and initializes preferences to the value specified in this file, so involved preferences can only be changed temporarily for the current session.

  • How do i get my computer to remember useer names & passwords

    how do i get my computer to remember my username & passwords

    Hi,
    In your preferences (Tools -> Options in the menu), go to the "Security" tab and make sure "Remember Passwords for sites" is checked. Also, if you have previously clicked the "Never" option for remembering username/password for a specific site, and have changed your mind, the site should appear when you click "Exceptions" next to "Remember passwords for sites".
    Some sites do not allow the browser to supply a username/password for you, such as sites whose login pages are made with Flash. If you're able to save passwords for some sites but not others, this may be the problem.
    Here is a link to more information about saving usernames and passwords: [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/make-firefox-remember-usernames-and-passwords]

  • How do I get Firefox to bypass our proxy for our Intranet sites.

    I have it set to bypass proxy settings through the GPO Add-on but I receive a DNS error. I've tried entering 192.168.0.0/16 for "No Proxy" but that doesn't work. I also have our Intranet site set as the homepage but it just goes to a blank page with no error.
    I am using the Firefox ADM along with the GPO add-on for the client. This allows me to lock the settings.
    I now have to add that Firefox was updated to 10.0 and I no longer see the GPO Add-on.
    Earlier I tried the FrontMotion Firefox ADM and and GPO script. This worked fine. I could get to our Intranet but I couldn't lock the settings.
    How can I get Firefox to see our Intranet? I'll appreciate any help you can give.

    If you click "Not Now" then Firefox will ask on a next visit to that site.<br />
    If you click "Never ..." then you create a block exception that you have to remove if you want Firefox ask again to store the name and password.
    Remove the site from the exceptions: Tools > Options > Security: Passwords: Exceptions

  • 3.6 would re-open prior tabs after hard shut-down - How can I get 4.0 to remember them?

    I installed 4.0 hoping that it would not freeze anymore as 3.6 often did. However, 4.0 freezes too. But that's not my problem. Instead:
    How can I get 4.0 to remember the tabs that were open when I close Firefox in Windows Task Manager?
    - like 3.6 was able to do: "Uups, sorry, sth happened... - Do you want to re-open the prior tabs?" or something like that ;-)
    Now with 4.0, every time it freezes, I have to re-open ALL the tabs I am working on...., logging in all my websites, etc etc... :-(
    Someone got any idea?

    You can also use "Firefox > History > Restore Previous Session" to get the previous session.
    Another possibility is to use:
