I want to save usernames but NOT passwords

I want to save usernames but NOT passwords (I am not comfortabel saving passwords onto my computer - defeats the object of having them in the first place!) but I would like to save time by having my usernames saved, so that when I start typing my username a drop down box appears with all the recent ones used so I can then click on mine.  I had this in my windows XP and all other microsoft computers... just switched to Apple and a little frustrated!.
Can anyone help? All the help sites I have found so far just tell me to save the username AND the password....

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.

    is this possible?

    Disable the password manager and use save form data to store the name.

  • How can I let firefox save usernames/passwords for multiple subdomains that use the same username but different passwords?

    on a particular website that has sub domains I have multiple accounts with the same name but different password. Firefox seems only able to save one of them, because they are on the same site.

    "Things"?  What things?  Apps for keeping track of when to change cat litter?  30 different versions of "twinkle, twinkle little star" played by everything from punk rockers to Gregorian chant?  Videos on the best way to make Christmas cake?

  • If i have 2 wndows open and try to close one, both close. It asks me if I want to close both but not an option to close 1

    if i go to a site and click on a link in the site - sometimes the back button is not there. If I try to close the top window to go back to the original site, it warns me I'm going to close both windows. I only want to close one but don't know how so I wind up closing both and having to re-open firefox.

    After trying above suggestions:
    * Use '''CTRL + W''' to Close One Tab at a time
    * When there is only One Tab in a Window, using '''CTRL + W''' will Close the whole Window
    * The attached image shows the Warning when you try to Close a Window with Multiple Tabs by clicking '''X'''(Close) button at the top-right of a window
    Check and tell if its working.

  • Want music on iPhone but not iPod.

    I have more music in my iTunes library than I have room for.  As a result, I had to uncheck some stuff.  I'd like to put that stuff on my iPhone but not the iPod. Does anyone know how I can do this? Thanks for any help.

    One way to do this is to use Smart Playlists. These playlists can be built using pretty much any criteria you want, but here's an example:
    I use this Smart Playlist to keep the music on my iPhone rotating and fresh. When I plug in the iPhone to power every night is syncs with iTunes, updates the play counts then syncs the new music to the playlist.
    So when you sync your iPhone sync just your Smart Playlist, not your entire library.

  • Want songs in playlist but not in library

    so i have a CD with thousands of short japanese recordings on it, the only way i believe that i can get them onto my iphone/ipod is through adding them to itunes. However when i hit shuffle songs the likelihood of getting a japanese recording instead of a song is very high.
    CAN I ADD THESE RECORDINGS TO MY IPHONE/IPOD IN AN ITUNES PLAYLIST, BUT NOT IN LIBRARY?
    or is there an alternate way to listen to these without disrupting itunes?
    cheers

    You can't have them in a playlist unless they are first in your library.  If you delete them from your library, you also delete them from any playlist.
    You should select all your Japanese tracks and open the "Get Info" window (iTunes File menu > Get Info).  Select the Options tab and check "Skip when shuffling" and click OK.

  • I want to allow redirects but not auto-reloading

    I'm running Yosemite on a Mac Air, with fully-updated everything.
    I'd like to stop pages reloading without my permission. This is usually an issue for me on news sites.
    In FF preferences, the option to allow or disallow auto-reloading is tied to the option to redirect. I can allow or disallow both, but not allow one and not the other.
    The net effect is, my news sites aren't automatically refreshing (yay), but other sites get stuck when a page redirect comes up. I play Scrabble online; now I have to manually allow a redirect with every play. Same with following Twitter links.
    Is there some way to kill off the auto-reloads while still allowing redirects? Maybe a whitelist for redirects, as a secondary option?
    Thanks!

    I do not know if the browser can tell the difference because it depends on the DNS server to give redirect requests back to the browser. Actually it does, 301 or 302 vs new http get request.... anyway:
    I found this add on: [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/refreshblocker/ Refresh Blocker] and [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/noredirect/?src=search No Redirect] which both let you control what sites to allow if there are only a few sites.
    This would only be a temporary work around however.

  • Is there anyway to autofill an email address or username but not the password like on a Windows PC?

    I would like to be able to go onto websites such as Facebook and not have to type in my email address every time but I don't want my password to automatically be entered for obvious security reasons. Is there anyway you can set autofill to only fill in the email/username box?
    Thanks.

    Hi ..
    If you are referrring to when you login to Facebook, Safari autofills both email address and password simultanteously.
    There's no difference whether you type the password or have it autofill as far as security is concerned. That goes for any website.

  • Password save offered but not desired

    I have unchecked the "remember passwords for sites" feature in Tools/Options multiple times, but Firefox keeps offering to save passwords. How can I turn it off? V. 7.0.1 running on Windows 7.

    Type about:config in the address bar. Accept the warning.
    In the Filter, type signon.rememberSignons
    See if the value is true (for remembering) / false (for not remembering). Change it as you want just by double clicking the preference name.

  • I once was aked to save password by firefox for a site and I said no, now I want to save it but I don't know how and firefox doesn't aks me anymore. How can I set this up?

    How do I set up an autofill for username and password for a website I visit all the time? I was once asked by mozilla if I wanted it remembered and I said no but now I want to have it remembered but mozilla doesn't ask a second time.

    Remove the site from the exceptions: Tools > Options > Security: Passwords: Exceptions

  • I need to move my thunderbird email from an old XP to a new computer with windows 7. I have my UserName but not a password

    I do not know how to move my T B email account from my old XP system to my new computer with Windows 7. I know my user name but do not know my pass word for the T B account

    All you normally need to do is copy the entire iTunes folder from User's Music on one computer into User's Music on the other. You can use a network share or an external drive to help with the move. Move the library before installing iTunes.
    See this migrate iTunes library post for more details and strategies for when the library isn't in the usual layout.
