How to get Safari to remember usernames

I have several sites that I log into and check off to remember login, but 1 in particular I use 2 different usernames to login to different accounts.
Problem is on my work laptop (IBM) i type in first letter of username and it shows the history and I can just tab to select it then enter password, but on my MBP in Safari, no such luck.
I have to type in entire username every time, there is no drop down that shows up with history of logins.
Is there a way to enable this feature to make login easier?

Sorry, that's not a feature of Safari. If you have multiple usernames for the same site(s), you can't have both of them active at the same time in the same browser. And if you don't have to enter the full username and password each time, that would be huge security risk.
You can use 1Password to manage your usernames and passwords for various sites, and input them for you with one click from the browser toolbar.

  • How to get safari to remember login and password after I said do not remember

    I went to a website through Safari and logged in and accidentally hit Never remember for this site and now I cannot get safari to remember the login and password. I have gone through preferences/passwords and the site is not listed and it will not allow me to add a site.  I would love help with this since I log on to this site just about every day! Any suggestions?

    It might be a corrupted keychain ...
    Open Keychain Access located in HD > Applications > Utilities
    Open Keychain Access then select Passwords on the left.
    Right or control click a keychain then click Delete.
    Back to Safari. Login to the website you want the password autofilled.
    Click Yes when prompted to save that data to a new keychain.
    Keep in mind, not all websites espcially financial institutions allow the autofill feature.

  • How can I get Safari to remember my ID and password for a site?

    How can I get Safari to remember my ID and password for a site?
    Specifically, I would like it to remember my 14 digit library account on:  http://polaris.plano.gov/Polaris/logon.aspx
    Firefox on my old PC was able to do this no problem.  I have recently switched over to Apple.  Thanks for your help!
    FYI, I am on a new Mac Mini with OS X 10.8.3 and Safari 6.0.4.

    Some websites request the web browser to NOT autofill the username, password.  It is possible the library site is doing that. Your previous firefox on the PC may have been sufficiently old to not be able to handle such a request.  There are password managers you can get to over-ride such things (search Safari extensions).

  • How to get Safari to ask if I want to download

    Using other browsers, I can set the preferences not to immediately start a download. I can set them to ask me if I am ready to download. How do I do that with Safari?

    Went there, read it, no mention at all of how to get Safari to allow me to choose whether to download or not. I am sure you haven't seen this option in Safari either, and that's why you thought Apple's guide would provide some solution for my not knowing the Safari routines. In fact, I am quite familiar with the use of Safari other than this one ommision: how to get an option to choose to download a file. You see, many download links do not show the file name. Only after Safari begins to download can I see the file name in its download list, which is difficult to use, as it shows the oldest download at the top and the active download is far down at the bottom of the list. That leaves me scrolling and looking to find out if it is either a Windows-only file (.exe) or a file I may already have. In those case, I have to cancel the download, or if I am not fast enough, I must trash a file that I didn't want in the first place. With all other browsers (Firefox, Internet Explorer, Opera, Chrome, etc.) I can choose to allow the download to proceed or cancel it based on the small window that appears showing the file name after I click the link on the webpage. Surely Safari has that option also.
    Here is a capture of what I mean (got to paste the entire URL as this forum doesn't have a link button):

  • How to get to see the usernames and passwords for wifi logins on iPad

    How to get to see the usernames and passwords for wifi logins on iPad. 

    You can't access that on an iPad. The iPad does not have a Keychain Access type app like the Mac has. Maybe an application like iExplorer on your Mac will let you see them, but you can't see them on the iPad itself.

  • Safari not remembering username and password

    Hello, I have my settings set so that Safari remembers my username and passwords to make logins faster. One site I use for school has had my username and password saved since I first started using it. But all of a sudden, it's not remembering my information anymore. When I go onto the site, it doesn't automatically fill in everything like it used to. And the only way I know how to add usernames and passwords to Safaris list is when it prompts you to when on a new site. How can I "re save" my username and pasword? Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you.

    You might be able to fix it by deleting the saved password from your keychain in the Keychain Access application. Search for it by the domain name of the site.

  • How to get FF to remember changed passwords?

    I deleted my gmail password in the saved passwords for FF, now however FF doesn't ask if I want to save the new password. How can I get FF to remember the new password?

    Thanks for your follow-up. I tried it on my new Mac Pro. I
    had been getting Flash to play normally. Then, perhaps due to an
    update of FF, it stopped and started displaying the QT logo with a
    question mark. I reinstalled Flash Player 9 this morning, and
    things went back to normal. Then later in the day Flash went back
    to the QT logo and ?. I tried more reinstalls of FP 9. Tried
    trashing Firefox and working only with Safari. Tried your idea of
    upgrading to QT 7.2. No luck. BIG DIFFERENCE: I am trying to use QT
    Player, rather than QT Pro. I guess I'll try that next. Will post
    results.

  • Want Safari to remember Usernames only.. Not Passwords

    I have been forced to use Safari as Google Chrome keeps giving my new rMBP kernel crashes. I have no problem with safari other than that its slightly slower and I can't get the dang program to remember usernames ONLY and not passwords. I don't want it remember both. If anyone could PLEASE let me know of a way to have it remember usernames only it would be GREATLY appreciated.
    Thank you
    - Jad

    What you ask is not possible. Provided you don't let anyone else use the computer while it's logged in to your account, and you have a reasonably strong login password, and you always lock the screen or log out when away from the machine, it's safe to store web passwords. They're encrypted with your login password.

  • How to Get Safari to STOP asking for Password

    Whenever I start up Safari for the first time, it annoyingly asks for a password, and I've dismissed this prompt without typing in any passwords, and I've been able to continue doing what I'm doing. But how do I get Safari to stop asking for a password? I've read similar posts but nothing has been asked in exactly this way, as far as I can tell. What I've done:
    - Gone into Keychain Access and deleted the only Safari-related item I find there, called "Safari Forms Autofill." This works temporarily but the password prompt comes back again, and this item appears again in Keychain Access.
    - Gone into Safari Prefs Autofill and made sure Passwords was unchecked; it was.
    Any ideas?

    Aha, I've answered my own question: You have to uncheck the "Other Forms" option in Safari Auto-Fill Prefs as well. Ho ho ho all.

    You could simply type "Contact itunes support" into the google search bar.  This would give you the link to contact itunes support.
    Or you could just click the word Support at the top of this page, then click the link under Contact Apple Support.

  • How to get the logged in username or how to set the acquiredby?

    We are using BPEL 10.1.2.0.2.
    We have implemented CAS/OID to work with the TaskList. Our issue is with obtaining the logged in username while in the BPEL Workflow. Acquired by variable is not populated even after the task is acquired. Explicitly setting Acquired By doesn't work either (still comes as null).
    This might be something quite simple, but I am not able to figure it out. Is there a way to get the logged in username or the user who acquired the task while in the BPEL workflow?
    Thank you!

    I have no longer access to the custom worklist application of 10.1.2 but in 10.1.3 you can access it through:
    SessionStore sessStore = SessionStore.getInstance(request.getSession(false));
    String userName = ((IWorkflowContext) sessStore.get(WorklistappConstants.SESS_ATTR_WORKFLOW_CONTEXT)).getUser();Kind Regards,

  • How to get safari to recognise quicktime?

    I use safari for windows and seem unable to make certain media content play. I get the message; 'The page .... has content of MIME type "application/x-mplayer2". Because you don't have a plug-in installed....' which I believe refers to media player. I have media player, quicktime and realplayer installed but can't get safari to recognise any of them (but preferably quicktime). I am not too technically savvy. HELP please!! thank you vm in advance to anyone who can suggest anything.

    Safari preferences Security tab.
    Make sure you've enabled browser plug-ins.

  • How to get Safari to open an HTML document created in AIR on iOS

    We have an iOS app that creates a 3-page HTML document on the user's device and then prints it. We were using Darkredz ANE to do this, but the ANE is broken in iOS 8 and the Darkredz website is abandoned.
    As a workaround, we want to use Safari to launch the HTML document, then print from Safari. But Safari won't open a local document that belongs to another app, probably because of the security sandbox. We don't have a network connection, so we can't save the file remotely. Is there a way to get Safari to open a local document?
    If not, does anyone know of a FileManager app that can open files that are located in the "documents" folder of other apps on the device? I've tried several of them, but so far, they only load files from iCloud, Box, etc.
    Thanks for any tips.

    Sorry I didnt think about it needing to print as 3 separate pages at specific points. If you can't get the HTML printing to work then you could keep could this thought in mind. If the height of the, I presume, HTMLLoader object is the right value, you can draw the white-space of the page into the BitmapData and then it might still print at the right location. If it doesn't work immediately and you felt like putting in a little more effort, you might be able to tweak the height of the HTMLLoader objects so that each one represents a single page. Granted this approach would likely only work for one paper size format, such as 8.5x11. Sorry I don't have any easier ideas that work with what you already have done so far
