IOS 5.1.1 Safari AutoFill

Hi,
iPod Touch 4th gen., iOS 5.1.1.  Safari with iOS 5.1.1 han an AutoFill function.
On my MacBook Pro running Mountain Lion, Safari 6.0 has an AutoFill function and a Passwords Tab.  Which I assume when using are secure.
By secure I mean that passwords are encrypted which I'm assuming that Safari 6.0 on my MacBook does (seems to replace the Keychain function, at least regarding Safari 6.0)
Is the AutoFill function on Safari with iOS 5.1.1 also as secure as in Safari 6.0 with Mountain Lion?  If not, then can I trust using it?
Thx

  • Why doesn't Safari Autofill work in iOS 5.0.1?

    Safari Auto fill in iOS 5.0.1 on iPhone 4 does not function.  I have tried all the settings suggestions, and no joy.  This looks like a designed software failure.  Any help or insight?

    As far as I can tell certain settings must be in place for AutoFill to prompt you to save passwords.
    The settings can be changed back to your preference after you saved your passwords.
    To make AutoFill work use the following settings:
    Go to: Settings > Safari
    - turn off Private Browsing
    - turn off Block Pop-ups
    Go to: Settings > Safari > AutoFill
    - turn on Name & Passwords
    Launch Safari
    - go to whatever websites you want to remember your Name & Passwords
    - type in your Name & Passwords
    - hit Go on the right side of the keyboard
    - a pop-up will ask you if you want to save your password
    - click Yes

  • Since installing Snow Leopard safari autofill won't work

    I have checked the safari autofill preferences and have the top box and bottom box checked (not the middle passwords).
    This used to work well as soon as I would enter one letter in a form it would complete it.  Now I must type in everything even in websites I have visited often and recently.
    I had the "word won't print or save as" problem but installing the new 1.1 security update fixed that but not this autofill problem.
    What can I do now?

    Thanks for the link, but it still doesn't work for me.  It fills in some of the information but refuses to do postcodes & countries and telephone numbers are a bit random.  It still doesn't do email addresses on many sites - even sites I visit every day.  The only thing it gets correct consistently is the first line of my postal address.  I tried deleting the contact, creating a new one and making it me - but it still does exactly the same thing.
    I finally gave up and ran Chrome.  Oh the joy of coming back to a site I visited only yesterday and have all the data I entered available at the click of a mouse;  instead of taking minutes to book airport parking it takes seconds!  It's like browsers used to be (and, incidentally, much faster than Safari and correctly renders all the sites I visit).   It's so frustrating that Apple can't make something work that other browsers have been doing for decades.

    Of course not.  Didn't you bother to read the TOU of this forum?  This is a USER TO USER technical support forum.  Apple doesn't post here.

  • Editing Safari AutoFill

    I am trying to edit the information in Safari Autofill, but cannot find the form to do it. The Help information says: "Choose Preferences from the Safari menu and click AutoFill. Select the items you want Safari to use.", but when I select Preferences, there is no AutoFill option. Is it somewhere else?

  • Safari/Autofill not working?

    My Autofill form does not seem to be working.
    Do you have a solution?

    HI,
    Open Keychain Access. (Applications/Utilities) Select Passwords on the left then Delete the "Safari AutoFill" item. Quit Keychain Access.
    Relaunch Safari. Navigate to a site that requires your username and password. Click "Always Allow" when prompted.

  • Help! Safari Autofill stopped working for no reason.

    My Safari autofill has suddenly stopped working. It used to be that when a form came up on safari I could start filling it out and hit tab and it would fill in the entire form. Now it looks like it might fill in that line, but if I hit tab it doesn';t even complete the line that is highlighted. I think this started to happen after I did the latest OS X software update -- I am now running 10.4.11. I checked autofill on safari and it seems to have all the appropriate boxes checked. And if I go to the pull down menu and pull down edit and do autofill forms, it will do it. But why won't it do it using tab any more?
    thanks so much,
    Katarina

  • IOS 4 upgrade missing Safari

    I have restored the phone twice with no luck. I am missing safari...strange. i have looked at the restrictions and they are not enabled...although when I enable them I see safari is greyed out anyway.

    I was having the same problem. Upgraded my iPhone 3GS to iOS 4.0 and Safari was missing.
    Restored and safari was there. Set up as new iPhone in Itunes with all syncing off and safari disappeared after initial sync. I noticed that my Enterprise Provisioning Profile had been reinstalled (Settings -> General)
    Removed the Enterprise Provisioning Profile and Restored again. Set up as new iPhone in Itunes with all syncing off and safari DIDN'T disappear after initial sync.
    Synced my apps (not the enterprise distributed one), music, movie, etc.
    Safari is still installed. Now i just need to set up my email accounts/preferences.

    Additional things to try.
    Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

  • IPad 2 with iOS 7.0.2 -- safari loads fine as does gmail.  however, siri App Store and youtube among other such things will not connect.  I am at a loss. What could be going on?

    iPad 2 with iOS 7.0.2 -- safari loads fine as does gmail.  However, Sir,i App Store and youtube among other such things will not connect.  I am at a loss. What could be going on?

    Try a Restart. 
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
     Resetting your settings
    You can also try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered. You won't lose any data, but it takes time to enter all of the settings again.
    Resetting your device
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Apple recommends this only if you are unable to restart it.
    Or if this doesn't work and nobody else on the blog doesn't have a better idea you can contact Apple. 
    Here is a link to their contacts with most of the information below.

  • Safari autofill

    My Safari Autofill seems to have a mind of it's owm.  Choosing to remember user names and passwords, or not, for no reason I can ascertain.  Is there any way of fixing this without removing all of the user names & passwords I already have stored in there?

    If you are having problems with Safari sometimes asking you if you want username-password saved, and sometimes not asking, many sites go out of their way to prevent Safari from doing that.  See https://discussions.apple.com/message/21762439#21762439
    It seems apple, facebook, and google allow username password saved,
    while  hotmail (login.live.com) and most financial institutions don't allow it.
    I'm not sure about yahoo, it seems something changed recently so it doesnt work with Safari, but still works with Firefox? Still investigating....
    If you have saved username/password but Safari doesn't always autofill, and it isn't just yahoo, then that's a different problem above my level.

  • IOS 8.1.3 safari crashing, phone constantly freezing, & battery drain

    i updated my iPhone 6 to iOS 8.1.3 last night and I literally can't even use safari. Every time I open safari it crashes and closes. If by some miracle it does open, it closes after a few minutes. Everything keeps freezing too. Like if I can manage to get safari open for a minute, if I try to type in the address bar, it will just freese up and then safari will crash and close. Also my battery is draining significantly fast now. What the **** apple?! I can't even restore my phone because I'm traveling in Canada and if I restore it it will not be able to activate through my cellular carrier since my carriee doesn't exist in Canada (I'm roaming). is anyone having these issues and/or have a fix for them? My phone is literally not useable.

    I did not mention in my earlier post that the LTE network too seemed to be slow/sluggish.
    Kept looking for a solution and found this post which seems to help.

  • IOS 8.1.2 safari battery usage

    Ever since updating to iOS 8.1, my iPad battery life has declined to the point that i have to recharge every day.
    the only things i use my iPad for are safari, Facebook, google play books, stock music app, and youtube.
    I've checked battery usage, and safari has 90 percent of the battery usage.
    i have also factory reset the device, tried to keep screen brightness below 50 percent, and shut all apps, but that makes no difference.
    i have also updated to iOS 8.1.2, and it made no difference.
    am also considering a nexus 9

    i have same problem, than battery percentage jump from 60 to 45 e in this way my problem is very bud. ios 8 last update is installed on my iphone 5. i think that it is a bug software, and i think this because i called apple support and diagnostic realt time with operator say that my battery life is better. and after home button bug fixed with ios 8.1 now i have this. this ios 8 is the worse update ever.
