How do I save a password for a site if I am not prompted by Firefox?

I am trying to save a password for a site that I previously chose not to save one for.
I have tried:
Going into my exceptions list - it's not listed
Going into my saved password list - there's no option to manually add a site
Checking the forums but there is no solution that has worked
In one forum I followed one solution. I opened a new tab, typed in about:permissions and searched for the site. It was remembered and set to 'Allow' password storage but 0 passwords were stored so I could not use the 'Manage Passwords' button. I even tried the 'Forget About This Site' button to see if navigating back to the page would reactivate the password prompt but it did not.
Little help?
Thanks,
Megan

I am having this problem with logging in to my Craigslist account. The autocomplete will enter my user name after typing the first letter, but the password does not, and I'm not prompted allow it to be saved. It used to autocomplete the password, but after I changed the password and deleted the old one in Saved Passwords, it won't save the new one. The bookmarklet doesn't seem to change anything. If this a CL issue, is there a way to circumvent it?

How do I save the password for a site for which I have chosen the "never remember password for this site" option?

The first time you enter a password for a site a box pops up under the address bar that has a picture of a key and then the question: "Remember this password?". In the drop box, I chose the option "Never Remember Password for This Site". I can't figure out how to change it so that the password IS remembered.

It sounds like the printer is still trying to retain the old network information.
Try a Hard Reset:
* Unplug printer while unit is turned on
* Unplug other end of power cord from the direct wall outlet
* Wait 30 seconds
* Plug unit back up for power
Reset Network information to Default:
* Press the Wrench/Setup menu button in the top right of the touch display of the printer
* Select the Wireless menu option
* Scroll down to Restore Network Defaults
After restoring the defaults, then try running the Wireless Setup Wizard. Let me know if the unit still does not retain the information.

In Security, clicking on the "Saved Password" button displays your current saved password for each site. It does not allow you to change a password. How would you do that?

In Security, clicking on the "Saved Password" button displays your current saved password for each site. It only allows you to view and delete site passwords. It does not allow you to change a password. How would you do that?

If you enter a new password Firefox should offer to change the password.
*You may not need to delete the old password. Try "Refreshing" the page, entering the site again, you may need to let Firefox fill in the old password, then enter the new password, and Firefox should ask to save the new password. See:
**http://kb.mozillazine.org/Deleting_autocomplete_entries
*If you delete the old password, you may need to "Refresh" the site after deleting the old password.
If you want to delete the password that has been saved do the following:
#In the Tools menu select Options to open the options window
#Go to the Security panel
#Click the "Saved Passwords" button to open the passwords manager
#Select the site in the list, then click Remove

Can Safari save name/password for secure sites?

I use several webmail links several times per day where I have to enter account name and passswords. These are long strings with lots of numbers and symbols. Lots of opportunity for typos.
Is there some way for Safari to save name/password for frequently visited sites?

There is an App called 1Password (paid) that does save passwords, etc. and will automatically enter them in its OWN browser but not Safari. Sorry to say, I have only read about it and not tried it - didn't like the idea that it was a separate browser. But unfortunately, how the OS works, Apple will not allow 3rd party apps to run in the Background, thus allowing the integration with Safari.
Hopefully Apple will address this in future versions. Something like the Keychain App in the Mac OS, that holds all you passwords, but I think they won't because it means that if you lose your phone and someone finds it, then they will have access to whatever you have password protected.

I missed the "save password?" prompt the first time I logged in to a site. How do I get it to ask again, or to save the password for that site now??

The first time I logged in to a site which has now become a frequently used one, I skipped past the prompt where it asks if you want it to save the password so as not to have to type it in each time. I would like to use that option but don't know how to get it to prompt me again so that I can answer "yes" this time.

How do I save a password for a website that I previously rejected in WINDOWS Safari?

I have found a lot of info on how to reverse a "NEVER" reply to keychains request to save a Name and Password for future AutoFill, but not for Windows version of Safari. How can I do that?

Hi..
Apple no longer supports Safari for Windows > Apple apparently kills Windows PC support in Safari
Use either IE or Chrome instead.

How do I save a password for a website that I previously rejected?

I have decided to save my passwords using Autofill. Problem is I have visited about a hundred sites, logged in and declined to save the login info. Is there a way to change that so I can save the login info for sites that I have previously declined? Do I simply remove the website from the list (under Preferences/Password) or is there another method?
Thanks;
Bruce

Open Keychain Access located in Applications > Utilities
Select oo on the left.
Type in the name of a website you want to autofill the password for.
Then right or control click that keychain then click Get Info > Attributes
Right or control click that keychain then click Delete.
Back to Safari > Preferences then select the Passwords tab.
Make sure: AutoFill user names and passwords is selected.
Visit the site you just deleted the keychain for. Enter your login user name and password.
Click Yes when prompted to save that information to a new keychain. The next time you visit that site, it should autofill for you.
Do the same for other sites.

How do I add a password for internet sites so that my kids can not just go where they want to go?

This is a computer strictly for school. I do not want my child to be able to browse the internet with out my password being put in so that I know where he is looking.

Adobe Reader cannot change security options. There is nothing you can do, when creating the PDF, to change this.

I have stored the password for a site I use often, but Firefox does not remember. Have to type in each time.

User name and password are stored correctly in preferences, but the fields remain blank whenever I try to login to a site I use often. No prompt "Do you want firefox to remember..." Do get a popup "do you want to update password?" but it makes no difference whether I check yes or not.
No such problem with several other sites whose passwords are stored.

You must have the "Remember passwords" feature enabled for the browser to remember them. In Firefox 2.0 and above, make sure Tools -> Options -> Security / Passwords -> "Remember passwords for sites" is checked.
Additionally, you may have once told the browser to never save the passwords for the site. In Firefox 2.0 and above, check the list under Tools -> Options -> Security / Passwords -> Exceptions. Also make sure you are not private browsing while saving password.
Cheers

Computer freezes when firefox asks if they should remember my password for a site

ever since the updates 2 days ago, my computer has been freezing unexpectedly when I'm asked if firefox should remember my password for a site. I use vista basic and firefox 3.6.22.

Tools > Options -> Security - Passwords
un-check = '''Remember passwords for sites'''

Firefox had saved my login name and password for a site, when I changed the password, FF won't ask to save/update it so I have to enter it manually now. How do I get it to prompt me in FF7.01?

Using FF7.01 on a HP Pavilion dv6775us laptop running Vista Home (updated continuously)
The site owner changed the rules in order to improve password security so I was required to create a new password. When I did so I was not prompted by FF7.01 to save the new password.
When I next logged into the site, FF remembered the user name but presented the old (invalid) password. I was forced to manually enter the new password, but again was not prompted to save it to FF.
I then went into FF Security, viewed the saved passwords and deleted the entry for the site in question. I expected that when I logged into that site the next time I would be asked if I wanted to save the username and password. I wasn't.
I then exited from FF and relaunched it and again logged into the site in question. I was not prompted to save the username or password.
How do I force FF to ask for and then save the username and password?

Thank you for your reply.
My problem isn't removing my log-in name and password for a site.
The problem is I already had the log-in name and password saved by FF, but I was required by the site to change the password. FF did not recognize that it had changed and refuses to prompt me to save the new password.
After several attempts to force the prompt, I deleted the site from the Saved Password list, hoping that the next time I entered my log-in name and password on that site FF would ask if I wanted to save both. That did not happen even after exiting FF and relaunching it.
So, right now FF will not save my log-in name and password for a site that it used track for me. Given the complexity of the new password, I really do not want to manually enter it every time I use the site.
Regards.

How do I save my user name a password for a site that doesn't automatically ask me if I wish to?

Normally Firefox will ask if I wish to save the user name and password for the site I've just logged into. This time it did not ask me this. Is there somewhere that I can add this information so I don't have to remember it for when I come back in a year from now and am trying to log on again? I went to tools>internet options>security>passwords but nothing there seemed relevant.

Some sites block passwords from being saved. For more details and how to bypass this see http://kb.mozillazine.org/User_name_and_password_not_remembered

Thank you any help would be help full as every time I log into Face Book for example I have to provide all the Information and this is a pain
Cheers Alex

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

How can I change the password for the USER in SAP.

How can I change the password for the USER in SAP?
also I want to change the Language and date Format b/c it's displaying in German language..

Hi,
Assuming that User has already his/her user-id and password, and now he/ she wants to change it.
select the client and provide Log-in credentials. Now, instead of 'ENTER' there is one Tab: 'New Password' (up, left hand). Click it.
Now, system will ask for new password to change.
If you are asking from Basis point of view, then T.code: SU01 - User Maintenance.
Enter User's id and Click Change icon.
It will lead to Page: Maintain User.
Here, Select tab: Logon Data
There is a Sub-Tab: Password.
Here, key-in change password and SAVE.
For Language and Date format, contact your Basis-Personnel.
Best regards,
Amit
