I'm on a web site that requires a user name and password to enter the site., but Firefox has never asked me if I want to save this info. Is it possible to do this even though Firefox never asked me?

This is the only site that Firefox has not asked me to save user name and password.

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.

Why can't I connect to web sites that require my user name and password. window pops up saying this connection is untrusted.

This Connection is Untrusted
You have asked Firefox to connect

Can you post links to pages that give that error?
Did you try to remove cert8.db in the [[Profiles|Profile folder]] or tested with a new profile ?

I'm trying to access a forum that requires a user name and password. When I do it on my mac it tells me the password is incorrect but when I do it on my iPad, I can access it without any problem. I can confirm the username and password are the same

I am trying to access a forum for which you need a username and password but it keeps telling me the username/password i've entered are incorrect. Bizarrely, when I enter the same username/password combination on my iPad, it grants access without any problem.
What could be causing this, is it an issue with cookies, caches or similar. How can I resolve it? The forum administrator is at a loss as to what the problem is.

Try the following steps in Safari to see if they help:
1) First try clearing the Safari cache. To do this pull down the Safari menu and select 'Empty cache...', then try logging into the site again.
2) If the issue continues then reset Safari by pulling down the Safari menu and select'Reset Safari...'. You will be presented with a list of items that can be reset. I suggest selecting the 'Reset saved names and passwords', and 'Remove all website data' options at a minimum.
Here is a list of the options and what they do. I pulled it from the Safari help page.
Clear history:
Clears the list of webpages you viewed.
Reset Top Sites:
Clears any changes you made to Top Sites, such as adding or pinning sites. If you also clear your history, your Top Sites page reverts to showing the webpage previews displayed when you first installed Safari.
Remove all webpage preview images:
Clears any thumbnail images Safari saved of webpages you viewed.
Clear the Downloads window:
Clears the list of files you downloaded from websites. Only the names are removed; the files themselves are still on your disk until you remove them.
Remove all website icons:
Removes website icons, which are small graphics that help identify sites on the Internet. You see them in the Safari address field and bookmarks list, and other places. These icons are stored on your computer.
Remove saved names and passwords:
Removes user names and passwords that Safari automatically fills in at websites that require them (if the AutoFill feature is turned on).
Remove other AutoFill form text:
Removes some personal information, such as telephone numbers, that Safari uses to automatically fill in forms on webpages (if the AutoFill feature is turned on). Removing AutoFill information does not remove information from your address book.
Close all Safari windows:
If you don’t close all Safari windows, someone could use the Back and Forward buttons to view the webpages you visited.
Reset all location warnings:
Clears any information websites saved about your location.
Remove all website data:
Removes cookies, tracking information, and other data that websites stored on your computer.

Firefox gives me an error (SSL protocol has been disabled) when every I go to a site that requires a user name/password; how do I fix it

Everytime I try to log on to any website that requires a username & password, I receive the following error: SSL protocol has been disabled. I have tried all of the suggested solutions to this issue - but to no avail. I cannot log on to yahoomail. gmail, hotmail, ebay, paypal, or any other site that requires a user name and pass word. Internet Explorer works just fine - and again I have tried all the solutions suggested on the firefox support forum - but none have worked

Leopard Safari requires reloading user name and password

Tried asking this another way and no one answered, which left me to wonder if no one on this forum knows the answer or it I wasn't clear in asking it? Let me be more specific: Leopard Safari requires a user name and password to be entered each time an appropriate web site is opened, even when "refresh" is clicked. For example, I use "myyahoo" for the homepage, but now each time I open Safari, I am required to reenter the user name and password. Ditto every site I have saved autofill data for. This did not happen with Tiger, prior to upgrading to Leopard last Friday. I also tried phoning the Apple Care support number -- a 37 minute wait produced someone who said my call needed to be forwarded to the Safari desk, and likely involve another extensive wait. So I gave up that idea and am trying here again. Help!

Thank you! In Preferences, all the autofill boxes are checked. Just to be sure, I unchecked them all then rechecked them. Autofill form works in Edit. Before the upgrade, Safari was able to maintain user names and passwords on sites where I wanted them. After the upgrade Friday evening, Safari stopped doing this on all sites where I already had a user name and password, including the Mac site. Simply, I am now required to re-enter this information every visit to every site, even if I just click refresh, not only when I exit Safari and return. Even if I leave a site where I have entered the password, visit another site, and then return, the user name and password must be entered again. I have still had no luck getting Apple Care on the phone. This morning I bit the bullet and decided to wait until finally somebody answered, but no amount of patience can listen to scratchy wait music for more than 45 minutes, which is when I gave up. So if someone here doesn't understand this, guess I'm stuck having to enter this information again and again and again... or figure out how to get back to Tiger.

I cannot log onto sites that require my log in and password. I get no error message, fire fox just goes back to the same empty log in screen. this problem is not limited to one site. I reloaded firefox with same results.

When i type in my log in and password and enter, the site either returns to the blank screens or does nothing. This is not limited to one or two sites. all of my financial institutions, electric company, insurance companies, even trying to register here so that i could ask this questions. In this situation, when i hit the register button, nothing happend, its as iff the button is inactive. i had to go to IE to register and post this question. I just tried to enter my new log in and pw on the screen in fire fox and nothing happens. Some sites behave differently when i hit the submit or log in button. the information seems to be transmitted but the screen comes right back to the original log in screen with blank fields. there are no error instructions that something does not match or is missing. then i go to IE and it works.
This started a few weeks ago. I cant identify anything that was added around that time but i tried a system restore and that did nothing. i deleted fire fox and downloaded the latest version 3.6.13 and it is still happening

This issue can be caused by corrupted cookies.

I used to have link to my Norton Identity Safe on my Fire Fox toolbar which filled in the user name and password for various different sites. Now it is gone and I can't seem to bring it back. Can anyone help me with this?

I can access the feature from the Norton interface, but that doesn't make the passwords and user names fill in.

Maybe extension are broken? Norton community can assist you further.:)

Safari user name and password for secure sites

I just sent the following to "Mac OS X Feedback"
Some secure sites like brokers, e.g., Ameritrade, do no allow autofill in Safari for the user name and password. In fact Safari does not even ask if you want to remember the user name and password just entered for such sites.
I would like to suggest that something be done for users in such cases:
1) A dialog box comes up warning that this website does not allow autofill.
2) A suggestion is made as to what network setting needs to be changed to allow autofill to work
3) A fix in Safari to take care of this problem
4) Add something to Safari help
Does anyone have a work around for this problem?
Mac Mini (Intel Core Duo) Mac OS X (10.4.5)
Mac Mini (Intel Core Duo) Mac OS X (10.4.5)
Mac Mini (Intel Core Duo) Mac OS X (10.4.5)

Think about what would happen if someone gained access to your Mac, say while you were briefly away from your desk or whatever. They launch Safari, go to the login web page of (for instance) your bank & discover that autofill has helpfully filled in your user name & password so all they have to do to get access to your accounts is click the login button.
From there, they can transfer all your assets to some other account (theirs!) or invest in FlyByNight.com or whatever -- they can do anything your password lets you do with any password-protected account ... anything!
Take this a step further. Say you have enabled auto-login to your primary account at startup, or have used an easy-to-guess account password for it. Someone steals your computer ... & with it potential access to all your online accounts with autofill entries.
Not a pretty picture, is it?

When a new site is created can a user name and password be generated for it automatically?

I have a work request from a manager that is asking, when a new site is created (via workflow), that a generic user name and password be created just for that site?
If it is possible I would like for it to be created at the same time as the site be being created or do I need to wait until after the site is created and then trigger a workflow to create the generic user account?
this account is only needed to do one thing.. upload documents to a folder.
of course there can be multiple sites being built at one time and would like for this to be auto generated.... and possible be in a hidden list so I can include the info in a workflow email letting the receiver of the email know that
they need to use this specific user name and password just for this site.

Hi SPSAdminTC,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to create sites and grant users permissions on the sites via workflow in SharePoint 2013.
Users are stored in AD, before you grant site permissions to them, the name and password have existed in AD users and groups. So, you need to add the users into AD before you grant permissions to them.
In SharePoint 2013 Designer, you can use REST API to create site and assign permissions to users. You can use Send Email action to send email to users and customize the body of the email.
More information, please take a look at:

I hope this helps.
Thanks,

Firefox will not save my user name and password for one of my sites. How can I fix this problem. It is getting annoying having to reenter every time I check this site. Is there a solution.

I had my user name and password saved for my library site. My grandson hit something and now the saved user name and password are gone. It asks me every time to enter it and it is getting annoying. How do I fix this. I want Firefox to remember these codes.

You can create a bookmark with the JavaScript code via a right-click on the "Remember Password" link on the squarefree.com website and choose "Bookmark This Link" and select the "Bookmarks Toolbar" as the destination folder for easy access.
* https://www.squarefree.com/bookmarklets/forms.html#remember_password
You need to use the "Remember Password" bookmarklet before or after filling the name and password field on the website with the <u>login form</u>, but before submitting the login form by clicking a button on the web page.
If the site is using autocomplete="off" then you see a number not equal to 0 (i.e. attributes were removed) in the pop-up alert from the bookmarklet and Firefox should offer to remember the name and password via a drop down dialog of the key icon that will appear on the location bar (Firefox 4+) or via an info bar at the top (Firefox 3).

Firefox asks for user name and password even though the proxy auto detection

After upgrading Firefox to ver. 6.01 and next to 6.02 Firefox asks for user name and password of proxy server even though proxy settings are set to Automatic detect proxy settings.

Sorry can't do anything more than offer support. We have been having this problem for months and support is clueless. Do you also have the migrating homepage issue? We can have 3 or 4 different homepage set-ups throughout the day. Between Verizon and FIOS, there isn't an employee in the corporation who cares about customer service. Since the failed email migrations dating back to Spring of 2011, we have had this login situation constantly. Our normal login count for a day is 12. We figure they are regulating traffic by having customers constantly login.

My husband gave me his iPod touch, even after resetting all settings, and even though I have a user name and password whenever I need to update apps it shows his previous user name, and is asking for his password. How do I fix that?

Ok, when I go into my Apple ID account, everything looks right. It does show my user name. It's only on the iPod that it shows my husband's previous user name, and it asks for his password. Everything in iTunes and my account looks right. The issue only seems to be with the actual device, iPod Touch 4th gen.
There is more than one way to access the Apps Store and the iTunes store. One is via iTunes on your computer, and the other is via the apps on your iPod.
Just because you are logged in on your computer does not mean you are logged in on your iPod.
The reason your husband's user name comes up is because he was the last one to log on. You can change that by going to Settings>Store. Tap the Apple ID, Tap Sign Out, Tap Sign In, Tap Use Existing Appel ID, enter your e-mail address and Apple ID password, and tap OK.

I am receiving the 'Could not sign you in [Access denied: 530]. Check your user name and password' problem on Adobe Muse CC 2014 and I cannot access the xml file that is supposed to fix this issue?

I am a PC user and I have Adobe Creative Cloud Muse 2014. I have received the 'Could not sign you in [Access denied: 530]. Check your user name and password' error when trying to upload my muse site to my ftp host, GoDaddy. I have successfully done this in the past and only recently it has stopped working. I looked online at the FAQ Adobe Muse Help | Uploading an Adobe Muse Site to a third-party hosting service and it said to download the ftpprefs.xml file but this file simply leads to a blank page that says /*Not found*//*Not found*/.
Can someone direct me to a working page with this file or provide a different solution? Thank you!

Hello,
As you are getting error [Access denied: 530] it means issue is with access. Either the username and password you are entering is incorrect or you do not have proper permissions.
I would suggest you to contact Godaddy to either reset password or reset the permissions.
Regards
Vivek

I just switched to Charter. When going to Mozilla Firefox a box appears saying, Authentication Required and asks for a User name and Password. What do I do?

I switched from CenturyTel to Charter. I can't use Firefox because a box appears asking me for Authentication Required, User Name and Password. When I hit cancel, this message appears:
HTTP 401 - Unauthorized
Authorization is required to access the configuration server.
You must enter the correct username and/or password.
When I called Charter, they told me they recommended using Internet Explorer. I told them I didn't want IE, I preferred Firefox. They recommended I go to your support page, so here I am. :o)

Have you reset the password recently for the email account?
A real simple fix usually is to delete the mail account (settings < mail contacts calendars, tap the affected account and choose delete at the bottom) Then re add the account.

I am trying to set up the ipod to my email account and it keeps saying it won't work, even though we have confirmed user name and password. Any advice?

i am trying to set up the ipod to my email account and it keeps saying it won't work, even though we have confirmed user name and password. Any advice?

Try deleting the account from the iPod and try reentring all the information again. A lot of times it is easier to reenter the information rather than trying to find and correct the error.
Try Googling for how to setup the email account for your provider on an iPhone. You can try for an iPod Touch but frequently that does not exist.

I'm on a web site that requires a user name and password to enter the site., but Firefox has never asked me if I want to save this info. Is it possible to do this even though Firefox never asked me?
