ISSUE: Storing password for FTP account in Keychain when using Finder

Hi,
I recently needed to connect to an FTP server to put some photo files on a server. I found out that you can connect to a FTP server using Finder>Connect to server. I manage to connect to the FTP server by typing <username>@ftp.<anyserver>.<domain> and after it prompted me to enter a password it connects to the server. However, when I check "Store password in keychain" it *does not store the password in keychain*. Each time I want to connect to the server I have to retype the password. I used Keychain first aid to verify the chain, but it reports everything is OK. Even when I manually add a keychain entry using FTP server details and credentials, the challenge window reappears each time I connect to the FTP server.
Any suggestions on how to solve this or is it a bug as I noticed similar problems by other users using other applications (mail, safari)?
Thanks!

I am having this exact same issue. I am trying to setup Automator to go out and retrieve files from an FTP folder and everything is working perfectly except for the fact that I have enter my credentials each time even thought I have checked the box to remember the password. I have this issue on multiple ftp servers so I don't think it is something that is "server-specific"

    Then try iTunes.

  • The password for the account "account name" was not changed. Your system administrator may not allow you to change your password or there was some other problem with your password. Contact your system administrator for help.

    I have a user who's Active Directory password is going to expire. I had her reset her password by going to apple > system prefs > user > and clicking change password. She received the error "The password for the account "account name" was not changed. Your system administrator may not allow you to change your password or there was some other problem with your password. Contact your system administrator for help."
    I had her change her password via the kpasswd command in terminal and that changed her password on the server sucessfully however the laptop has FileVault on it. Filevault is not recognizing the new password just the old password.
    I have deleted the keychain which didn't resolve and now I am going to decrypt and reencrypt the drive. I'm hoping this is an isolated issue I have over 25 laptops configured like this.

    I "think" the trick was unbinding and rebinding the computer account.
    After unencrypting and trying to reencrypt Filevault would still not take the new password.
    Rebooted the prompt to update the keychain appeared. Updated the keychain. Filevault would still not take the new password.
    Unbinded and rebinded the computer account. It worked and let me add the user to filevault.

  • TS3276 I have recently had a problem with one of my hotmail accounts, some sort of virus sending random emails to people in my address book. Hotmail advised me to change my password for that account, which I did. Why won't mail recognise the new password?

    I have recently had a problem with one of my hotmail accounts, some sort of virus sending random emails from my address book. Hotmail advised me to delete all contacts and change the password for that account, which I did on my laptop running windows XP. The change was successful and I was able to send and receive emails with no problem. I then had to change the account password on my iPhone 4s, which I did and it too was successful but when I came to change the password on my iMac, running the latest version of Lion it would not recognise the new password. I have tried to remove the account details and re-install but every time I go to add new account my old details are in the box. This is very frustrating as I use my iMac for all my profects and I need to access my email. Please help.

    hi guys,
    I had already deleted all reference to the hotmail account in question from the keychain access app, I have also tried to delete and re-instal the account details from within mail. The icon in the side bar dissapears but when I go to Add Account, the old account details are in the new account box. I then input my new password but am told that the server does not recognise it. If I access hotmail via google on the iMac I can get into my account with no problems. I am thinking there must be some other form of security system within the mac software that is blocking the new password. This is driving me nuts. I have been trying to resolve this for the last two days. Thank you for your advise anyway.

    system automatically assigns a PW for guest accounts.
    Hetti Arachchige V Aravinda is correct.
    Hackers will use a key generator for guess accounts mailed to you, if you click, your are actually installing a run script,  usually this will run all the time, if there is an connection, the guest account will tell you the connection and where.
    This is most famous with IIS ftp service for guest accounts. This was a major flaw with IIS ftp service in previous OS the ftp world get confused with the amount of failed attempts and grant admin abilities to your ftp.
    Your event for guest account would show may attempts, this is a very common old way that spammers  used to connect to a device to spread spam.
    Wireshark is a sure way to trace packets in and out of your ISP. You can  now see what is coming. if you do this, do not let pcap run on start up. I am positive you have nothing to worry about. If you do trace your IP and you see lots of proxys coming
    in, I suggest you contact your ISP about this.

  • My apple id for icloud is linked to an invalid email address and i do not have the password for the account.  I need to delete the account to access my icloud on my iphone.  any ideas?

    my apple id for icloud is linked to an invalid email address and i do not have the password for the account.  I need to delete the account to access my icloud on my iphone.  any ideas on how to override this issue?

    If you updated the old ID at one point to create your current iCloud ID, temporarily recreate the old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll.  When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

  • How do I reset my password for an account I cannot access?

    I noticed a checkmark next to an extra account that I added. I am the administrator, and I forgot my password for that account.I tried looking it up in my keychain program to no avail. Can you help me access this account so that I can delete it or reset my password?
    Chris

    If you are an administrator of this mac you should be able to:
    Goto System Preferences > Accounts
    Unlock Pane
    Select the noted account.
    Reset Password or Just delete the account.
    Works for me anyway.

  • Hi. I am using a time capsule for few PC s. I have made 5 different account to access time capsule. but in windows when i enter account name and password for one account, i cannot access other accounts, because windows saves username

    Hi. I am using a time capsule for few PC s. I have made 5 different account to access time capsule. but in windows when I enter account name and password for one account, i cannot access other accounts, because windows saves username. how can i prevent this from happenning. I really need to access all my accounts and dont want it to save automaticlly.

    Why have 5 accounts if you need to access all of them.. just have one account?
    Sorry I cannot follow why you would even use the PC to control the Time Capsule. Apple have not kept the Windows version of the utility up to date.. so they keep making it harder and harder to run windows with apple routers.

  • I cannot recover my Master Password under 10.6.8. I want to change it. I do have my admin password for my account. How can I create a new master pw?

    I cannot recover my Master Password under 10.6.8. I want to change it. I do have my admin password for my account. How can I create a new master pw?

    If you are referring the Master Password that can be set in System Preferences>Security>FileVault, then see this thread:
    How to reset FileVault master password
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5822772
    As explained there, and for obvious security reasons, a new master password created in this fashion way will not unlock any pre-existing FileVault accounts. Resetting the master password is therefore only useful after you turn off FileVault in all existing accounts. You can then turn FileVault back on after the new master password is in place.

  • Cant update apps. asks for password for another account i had on a dell notebook. either i forgot the pass word or its not taking it. i can download apps,music with present mac note book but not apps. how can i update apps on my mac and iphone 4?

    cant update apps on my mac or iphone4. asks for password for another account i had on a dell notebook. either i forgot the pass word or its not taking it  . i can download apps and music.  how can i update apps on my mac and iphone 4?

    I had the same problem today and was able to resolve it without having to do a restore or reset. The problem had something to do with my mail accounts. The upgrade reset my mail settings, switching both my gmail and my .mac mail to "archive all mail". I went into the General Settings, disabled that setting, and resynced the phone. The "other" storage allottment dropped back down to less than a gig.
    Before you restore or reset, I would try that first.

  • "Password Missing" Enter the password for the account "iCloud"

    After upgrading my iPhone 4 to iOS 6.0 and setting up as a 'new phone'...I've had this recurring problem with my iCloud mail.  Despite entering my iCloud password successfully in settings as well as my Apple ID (same email/password), I continue to get prompted three times with this "password missing" message everytime I use the Mail app.  It prompts me every time I'm IN the app, not necessarily launching it from closed.  I have done the following:
    verified that the password was entered correctly
    checked my iCloud mail at iCloud.com with the same password
    verified my apple ID and password at appleID.apple.com
    continued to receive mail without incident on my macbook
    Synced the phone with iTunes (leaving mail, contacts, and calendars set to iCloud sync)
    Not sure what to do next.  I could try wiping the phone again, but suspect I'll have the same problem.  Found a similar posting on this topic last week that said going to the Manage Apple ID site was the solution.  Can't find anyone with a similar problem in Communities. 

    Hello Everyone,
    I tried the solution offered at this link and it worked for me. It involves going to "Settings/Mail, Contacts,Calendars/iCloud/Account". At this screen, I deleted and re-enered my password for my account which was an @yahoo.com account (The only one I EVER wanted to use). Then I also deleted anything I could that was an @me account. I launched my mail and no more problems. Enjoy!

  • My old itunes id was an email that no longer can be used, therefore, I can not change the password for that account.  Everything that I purchased under that id name will not play.  How can I fix this?

    My old itunes id was an email that no longer can be used, therefore, I can not change the password for that account.  Everything that I purchased under that id name will not play.  How can I fix this?

    I no longer have an email address that was also my Apple ID. Can I still use the email address as my Apple ID?
    Apple recommends you change your Apple ID to your current, working email address. This will not create another Apple ID, it will only change it to your working email address. See Changing the name you use for your Apple ID if you'd like more information.
    Note: @mac.com and @me.com Apple IDs can not be renamed.  If you no longer use the .mac or .me email address be sure to add your valid email address as an additional email address.
