I cannot get my password for Hotmail remembered in Firefox - only in I.E.

I looked at my privacy and security settings as prompted to do in Help, but cannot see why this keeps happening. I am asked by hotmail if password should be remembered, and I always click on the box to do so, but it does not work. Would prefer to use Firefox for hotmail now always as the new Bing thing that comes up in I.E. is annoying - part of the page is obscurred, it is slow to delete messages - terrible!

Remembering passwords for Hotmail (live.com) has never really worked properly for me. 
Sometimes it has worked with some specific login pages, but MS always made changed that caused it to stop. 
Currently the secure login page (https:login.live.com) uses JavaScript to generate the login form and the Firefox 3.6 Password Manager doesn't work on such pages. This may change in Firefox 4.0.
If you mean the box on the login page to remember you then that choice is kept in a cookie on your computer. 
In that case you need to make sure that you have an allow exception to keep that cookie.

I use the older style firefox and cannot get the password manager to remember one of my passwords, how do I do this

I use the older style Firefox browser and cannot get the password manager to remember one of my main site's password. how can I do this?

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.

HT1430 I can not open my email. A box comes up stating- CAN NOT GET MAIL, The user name or password for "Hotmail" is incorrect, I never have to use a password on my IPAD. What is going on?

I Can not open my email, Never had this problem... Message says: CAN NOT OPEN MAIL, The user name or password for "HOTMAIL" is incorrect.
What is going on???????

Check your email settings (on your iPad) for that account and make sure the username and/or password are correct.

Safari will not autofill username/password for Hotmail

I cannot get safari to autofill my username and password for hotmail.com. Everywhere else it works but not hotmail. Anybody else have this problem and now how to fix it? I have had my computer for 3 years and gone from tiger to snow leopard and this problem has always been there.

HI,
From the Safari Menu Bar click Safari/Preferences and select the Autofill tab.
Click the Edit button next to "Other forms".
Delete hotmail.com
Click the Edit button next to "User names and Passwords". Delete Hotmail
Relaunch Safari. If that didn't help...
Quit Safari. Open Keychain Access. (Applications/Utilities) Select Passwords on the left. Delete the "Safari Forms AutoFill" and Hotmail items. Relaunch Safari. Next time it asks for authorization, click "Always Allow".

I cannot get my password reset to start using iphone. Tried website and asked to send to my email address /also my user id and nothing coming. i called 800-275-2273 and guy said apple having issues no est time of fix?

I cannot get my password reset on apple itunes to start using my iphone. Tried website to reset password and asked to send email/same as user. Never getting email. Tried with my birthdate but that is not accepting. Called apple 8002752273 and guy told me Apple has had problems with this for weeks. Nothing he could do for me - i could answer all his security questions but birthdate. He said send a letter to itunes help , he could not provide. Could be weeks before anyone gets back to me? I checked itunes an of course there was not itunes email help available. Anyone have email for customer relations or phone# or know how to fix this?

"Could be weeks before anyone gets back to me?"
Where did you get that nonsense? Your involved question sounds like a hoax. Regardless, the phone number for Apple Customer Relations is: 800-767-2775.

How do I get the password for an old apple id, when I don't have access to that old email address, and it doesn't recognize my birthdate?

How do I get the password for an old apple ID when I dont have access to the email address and it does not recognize my birthdate?

Hi Attila528,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If you are not able to receive a rescue email to reset your security questions and password:
You'll need to contact iTunes Store support to have your questions and answers reset.
You can find the article with this information here:
Rescue email address and how to reset Apple ID security questions
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312
After your password, security questions and answers are reset, I'd recommend providing a new rescue email address:
You can edit or delete your rescue email address at My Apple ID. To edit your rescue email address:
Navigate to My Apple ID using your web browser.
Click "Manage your account"
When prompted, sign in using your Apple ID and password.
Click Password & Security
You'll be asked to answer 2 of your 3 security questions before you can make any modifications. If you are unable to remember your answers, you can choose to send an email to your rescue email to reset your security questions.
All the best,
Jeremy

What do you mean get password so no one can make or take drives from laptop? This is confusing as to what your saying or asking?
Passwords if you don't write it down or remember how it was written will be good or bad for you if you forget it. So don't just think it will lock others out - you can also lock yourself out as well. Rather you should keep your laptop in a safe place where you have access to it and no one else and only put password on it when you travel or if another members wants to use it you password block the Admin/Main user but make them a Limited user account that way they have no access to your important files.

I cannot retrieve my password for Imessaging. any suggestions?

I cannot retrieve my password for using IMessaging on my laptop?

Hi,
In Messages Menu > Preferences > Accounts you should see the iMessage account listed ?
Is the "Enable this Account" box ticked ?
If not will it let you ?
If that does not work what happens when you use the Sign Out button then re-enter your Apple ID details and password ?
In the past I have created @mac.com names to work with iChat
To create more then the linked emails I used to create them I removed the linked email so that I now have some @mac.com names that are not emails and they cannot be verified.
Does this sound similar to your situation ?
It is late where I am and it will be some time (many hours) before I get back to any new replies.

I cannot get my Windows live hotmail acct. to access my email. Windows support suggests I optimize my browzer, but don't know how to do that

I cannot get my Windows live hotmail acct. to access my email. Windows support suggests I optimize my browzer, but don't know how to do that. I never had a problem before and have always used Mozilla Firefox as my browser. The Firefox4 also looks different since I changed it. No Google bar in the center, or the Mozilla logo.

You can do a test if it works in Private Browsing mode. In PB mode the disk cache isn't used and also the currently saved cookies are not available.
You can enter Private Browsing mode if you select:
* Tools > Options > Privacy, choose the setting Firefox will: Use custom settings for history
*Check-mark: [X] "Permanent Private Browsing mode"
Close the Options window and open the Hotmail log in page.
You can remove the check-mark ([ ] "Permanent Private Browsing mode") to leave PB mode.
If that works the it is possible that there is problem with the file cookies.sqlite that stores the cookies in the Firefox Profile Folder.
You can rename (or delete) cookies.sqlite (cookies.sqlite.old) and delete cookies.sqlite-journal and cookies.txt, if they exist, in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder] in case the file cookies.sqlite got corrupted.

Getting the "cannot get mail, password is incorrect" message with my AOL account only.

Getting the "cannot get mail, password is incorrect" message with my AOL account only. Could this have something to do with the iOS 7 update? When I log into my mail through safari it's fine, and I deleted it from my phone and went to go add it back but now I can't because it keeps telling me my password, which is correct, is incorrect. Has anyone else had this issue since iOS 7? How can I fix it?

I have had issues of "password incorrect" and mail not being sent, after doing the latest IOS 8 update to both my iPhone and iPad. I tired all the different suggestions I found (deleting and re-adding my AOL account, changing my password, etc) and nothing fixed it until now! While searching around for a solution, I happened upon a post from someone. I tried doing this to all three of my AOL email accounts (on both my iPhone and iPad) and now it works great! Here what that post said to do:
"1. Set up your AOL account(s) using the AOL option
2. Go into each AOL account(s) and under the "Outgoing Mail Server" section, press the SMTP entry
3. Set the "Primary Server" to "Off"
4. Press "Add Server" and provide the following information in the "Outgoing Mail Server" section
    a. Host Name - type in: smtp.aol.com
    b. User name - type in your user name WITHOUT the "@aol.com" - that was the problem/change!
    c. Password - type in your password
    d. Use SSL - On
    e. Authentication - Password
    f. Server Port - 587 (mine automatically set it to port 587)
After you enter in the above info, the Primary Server will still be set to OFF, but the new server you set will be set to ON, just doesn't show up in the Primary Server section. Be sure to do the above steps for each one of your AOL accounts (if you have multiples ones).
Apparently, in the main AOL Account Information section you need to use your user name and the "@aol.com", but you need to leave the "@aol.com" out of the SMTP. However, the Primary Server has that whole section grayed out so you need to ignore that one and create another one."
Good luck! Worked for me and now I am as happy as a Lamb!!

I cannot retrieve the password for the wifi connection on my imac and so cannot access the internet with my ipad at home. I have a cable modem. Help please!

I cannot retrieve the password for the wifi connection on my imac and so cannot access the internet with my ipad at home. I have a cable modem. Help please!

If you mean that you cannot remember the password for your WiFi network this will work for you - or it should work if you are the administrator on the Mac.
You will need to be logged in as the administrator on your Mac and you must know the password - Open Keychain Access on your Mac in the utilities folder, click on Passwords. Find the Airport Network Password listed on the right. Double click on it. Click on show password in the the window that pops up. Enter your administrator password when prompted and click allow.
If Keychain is locked - you must enter the administrator password there as well to unlock it and access the password.
If you have set the Mac up for Internet Sharing for the iPad to share the Mac's connection, just create a new network On the Mac with Internet sharing and a new password.
