  • How come firefox does not remember my user name and password for the verizon wireless website ? or verizon wireless ?

    how come when i log onto the verizon wireless web site to pay my bill, i have to sign my user name and password every time ? i am not getting the firefox pop up asking me if i want firefox to save my password for this site. so how do i get firefox to remember my log in information for my verizon wireless website ? thank you.

    This would be verizonwireless.com, correct? Their site requests that browsers should not save information for its login form.
    If you're comfortable with using bookmarklets, there's one here that should force Firefox to remember:

  • Update 10.5.8 Wireless will not remember WPA2 Network Name and Password

    After updating to 10.5.8 last night my wireless will not remember the WPA2 Personal - Network Name and Password between boots. I have to re-enter it each time I restart my MacBook (Intel Core 2 duo). I am running WiFi 802.11A and never had this problem in the two years I have owned this mac. [Going a different 802.11 frequency is not a fix].
    Anyone else having this type of problem?
    Comment: These OS X updates are annoying because seems that some standard common feature stops working for awhile (until the next fix).

    I was having the exact same problem after the update too, and I tried everything that all of these posts recommended and nothing.
    It wasn't until I deselected the option on the network preferences for "Ask to join networks", it mentions that it will connect to known networks, so as long as its saved it should remember it.
    And Voila! next time I opened my macbook from sleep it connected to the WPA (which even happened to be a hidden one too).
    I hope this helped because sometimes it doesn't have to be so complicated...

  • Firefox 3.6.8 is not remembering my user name and password

    This has been happening since I bought my new iMac with snow leopard and downloaded Firefox. This does not happen with Safari. I have checked the forums and mozzilazine and google to no avail.

  • Firefox will not remember multiple user names and passwords for same site, yet it used to do so. Any ideas?

    I belong to several publishers website, and I often have to access more than one author's account, which requires that I use their user name (usually an email address) and their password. In the past, whenever I double clicked on the space for user name, I would see all of those user names appear that I use for that site. When I clicked on the one I wanted, the stored password would appear in the password window, and I could log in. Now, it only shows me the most recent user name that I have used. I don't understand how to make it do what it used to do. Any ideas?

    Is it possible that that name is stored in a "remember me" cookie ?
    *"Remove the Cookies" from that site: Firefox > Preferences > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"

  • Can't remember administrator's name and password for my e-mac.

    Can't remember administrator's name and password for my e-mac.  How can I reset it.  A friend needs this computer and  I need to update and remove software, etc.

    Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access the Menubar at top.
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Reset Password from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Reset Password.

    Hello nkrlw,
    It may be that AutoFill is disabled in Safari, or that Private Browsing is on.
    Go to Settings > Safari > Passwords & AutoFill and make sure that Names and Passwords is on.
    Go to your Home screen and open Safari. If Safari is black or dark instead of white or gray, Private Browsing is on. Safari doesn't save account names and passwords when Private Browsing is on. To turn off Private Browsing:
    On iPad, tap the the plus icon in the upper-right corner of the Safari page, then tap Private in the lower-left corner.
    On iPhone and iPod touch, tap  in the lower-right corner of the Safari page, then tap Private in the lower-left corner.

    I am not able to use the ftp export in Muse. When I enter my host, name and password, I get a long interlude of rainbow wheel and finally the message that my ftp host cannot be found. I have verified the name and that it is port 21. I can export to html and use another ftp client to upload (to the same server) but this is tedious and making minor changes is painful. Have you encountered this and found a solution?

    Hi Susan,
    In that case I will recommend that you consult a local technician/IT team and see if there is some network connectivity issue with your machine.

  • TS3276 I receive a pop up from ICal saying the server does not recognize me user name and password.  This started yesterday.  I have no problems with receiving or sending emails through Mail

    I receive a pop-up from ICal saying the server does not recognize my user name and password for my me.com email address.  This started yesterday and occurs about every 5 minutes or so.  There are no problems with receiving or sending email through Mail.  I did change me email password several days ago but have no problems sending/receiving since then.

    I fixed the problem.  I opened Preferences in ICal and entered my new password.  No more pop-ups

  • EBS 7.3 "Could not authenticate this user name and password, try again"

    I have just install Sun StorEdge Enterprise Backup Software 7.3 on a new Solaris 10 (06/06) system. I have installed the following packages with no errors: SUNWebsc (Client), SUNWebsn (Storage Node), SUNWebss (Server), SUNWebsm (Man pages) and SUNWebsg (Console).
    I have executed the �nsraddadmin� command for both root and administrator.
    I start the web browser with http://<hostname>:9000 and the java software loads with no errors. But when I try to login for the first time with administrator/administrator, I get the follow error:
    ERROR: Could not authenticate this user name and password, try again�

    I think the client is not able to do a HTTP POST
    to the WLS server but it can do a HTTP GET.
    I dont know why.

    Hi,
    I deployed a rpc web service using WLS 7.0 SP2 in HP-UX 11 environment.When I
    invoke the web service through my browser (IE 6.0) using the web servicesurl,
    it brings my service method correctly. From there, if I click the invokebutton
    it asks me for a network user name and password under "weblogic" realm???If I
    provide the admin user credentials (which I supplied while creating mydomain)
    it is not accepting that it keeps popping up this network user passwordwindow
    over and over. Not sure which username/password I have to provide here tosee
    the result of my service.
    If I try to invoke the web service through my client (static) I am gettinga connection
    refused exception. I guess either way, I am not able to access my webservice.
    In the attached file, I have cut and pasted the client stack trace as wellas
    the server log trace from weblogic.
    Any ideas would be highly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Ganesh
