HT203783 Safari IOS 8 will not remember passwords!!!

I have keychains turned on, I have safari names &passwords turned on, I am not browsing privately. The saved passwords is empty every time I look, so there's nothing there to edit. Every single time I go to a website that is supposed to remember my password, I have to log in all over again. SOOOOOOOFRUSTRATING!!!!!!

Thanks Cor-el. It now works on some sites, but there are still some where it doesn't work. The problem appears to be with sites that have more than just the username and password to fill in. Firefox only saves the username and password but not the other fields. It then refuses to fill in any of the fields on the site.
For instance, my bank has four fields on the sign-in page - username, security code, password, and an odd one with a number between 1 and 4 in it. Firefox only saves the username and password and so can't fill in the other fields. Actually it refuses to fill in any of the fields. It seems to not recognise the page at all.
The only way I can see around the problem at the moment is to save any that Firefox will save and use RoboForm to save the others. It means having two programs to do one job. It's messy but at least it works and I can save all my usernames and passwords and have them fill in properly.
I don't know why it is that RoboForm will save the data but Firefox won't. It appears to be something to do with Firefox only saving two fields whereas RoboForm will save any number as required.

Firefox will not remember passwords even tho the box is checked and there are no exceptions listed. The little bar asking to save passwords doesn't even come up.

After an online session, Firefox (6.0.1) crashed and a crash report was sent. After that, Firefox would not start and the crash window kept coming up. I uninstalled it and did a new install. It works fine now except it will not remember passwords even tho the box to save is checked and there are no exceptions listed. The bar asking to save does not come up.

Make sure that you not run Firefox in (permanent) [[Private Browsing]] mode.
* You enter Private Browsing mode if you select: Tools > Options > Privacy > History: Firefox will: "Never Remember History"
* To see all History and Cookie settings, choose: Tools > Options > Privacy, choose the setting <b>Firefox will: Use custom settings for history</b>
* Uncheck: [ ] "Permanent Private Browsing mode"
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.

Safari will not remember passwords

I've only recently started using keychain but this has already gotten on my nerves. Almost all of my websites will not remember my password, and not just banking sites - even YouTube and MySpace ask for my password. And when I do, it gives me the "This password is different. Would you like to replace the saved password with this one?", even though it's the same.
I've searched the discussion pages and here's a list of solutions I've tried but to no avail:
- Checking "User names and passwords" in Autofill in Safari preferences
- Unchecking "Open with Rosetta" (wasn't checked anyway)
- Deleting com.apple.safari.plist
- Keychain First Aid
- Creating new keychain
- Deleting "Safari Forms Autofill"
Can anyone help me out?

I also have the same problem and have tried all the recommended solutions to no avail. I have finally switched to Firefox for most of my Web browsing because it does not present a similar inconvenience for me as does Safari right now. Nonetheless, I still wish that was not the only apparent solution to this problem for me, as I prefer Safari to Firefox otherwise.
If any of you finally do find a was to fix this once and for all, please clue me in, too.
Thanks!

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.

Firefox will not remember Passwords to Hotmail or Live messenger,

I have gone to option and posted "allow" to cookies, and what ever else I think I should have done, but it still won't remember. I've gone to Hotmail and enabled everything that I thought, but still no luck. I'm getting tired entering my email and password every time, please help......

My new iPad (3rd generation) will not remember wi-fi passwords. It is set up to ask to join networks. It remembers my password at home but forgets all others if it disconnects for more than a few minutes. Frustrating!

Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.

Safari 5.0 will not prompt to remember username and passwords

Safari 5.0 will not prompt to remember username and passwords for new sites I joined. It will remember the old ones but not the new. Under Safari< preferences> the autofill in all 3 places is checked. A box used to drop down when joining the site for the first time and say... Save Never Not Now.
Now nothing happens. Anyone got any suggestions?
Thanks

Hi,
Go to ~/Library/Preferences and move the com.apple.keychainaccess.plist file to the Trash.
Restart your Mac.
If that didn't help, open Keychain Access (Applications/Utilities) Select Passwords on the left.
Delete the *Safari Forms Autofill* keychain.
Relaunch Safari.

Why Safari 6.0 will not auto complete the password ?

Why Safari 6.0 will not auto complete the password ? even when the option is selected in autofill tab, and the user-password are listed in the password tab ?
It used to work fine before I upgraded to mountain lion.
Tks

Same problem for me since upgrading to ML. Safari remembers autofills for some passwords but not others. For example my web mail password was no longer auto filled. Checked in the keychain list and all the info was there. Therefore I deleted this and tried again - but Safari did not offer to remember the password. Than ran an old script I had that is designed to "Removed autocomplete=off from 0 forms and from 2 form elements, and removed onsubmit from 0 forms. After you type your password and submit the form, the browser will offer to remember your password." Safari then offered to remember the password. I accepted this and checked that the password was then saved in keychain - it was. However, next time I tried to access the email Safari once more did not auto complete. Very frustrating, especially as some auto completes do work. I hope apple sort this out soon.

2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.

4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button
