Keychain won't remember passwords

after upgrading to SL the keychain no longer wants to remember any passwords.
this is effecting ALL passwords, both online and off. The ones already in the keychain do not work anymore.
Any assistance is much appreciated
Thanks

am really disappointed in the inability to solve problems by your staff
LOL, After waiting less than three hours? Pay us the minimum wage, at least.
Wrote this five minutes ago on the other board:
Any backup? *Tried Keychain First Aid?* Firefox passwords are in signons.sqlite and key.db. Don't know about Safari. Which Mail? If Mail.app, only passwords I know about are in Mail>Preferences>Accounts. Do you mean those? I think we need more information. How did you do the upgrade? Did you install over something or Migrate?

Keychain Won't Remember Passwords Anymore

For some reason, Keychain doesn't seem to be remembering my passwords for Mac Mail and File Maker Pro. I ran Keychain Access First Aid and it said there was no problems found.
Anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks to everyone that helped me with this problem.
Luckily, on my own, I figured out that resetting the keychain would fix the problem.

G5 iMac OS 10.4.8 won't remember passwords

My computer won't remember passwords, even though I click the appropriate box. Microsoft Entourage is the program where ethis is most inconvenient. Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks!

You're not alone.
I had to buy a card reader yesterday. This is obviously a 10.4.8 / 6.0.5 issue.

ITunes 10.6 won't remember passwords for podcasts

Ever since I upgraded to 10.6, iTunes won't remember passwords for any premium podcasts, even when I check the "remember credentials" box. Every time I start iTunes, on the first podcast list refresh, I have to enter all the usernames and passwords again. Any ideas?

Keychain. won't remember server passwords

Hello,
I have a MBP running 10.6 and an imac running 10.5.
Everything is on a Time Capsule network.
I have two separate logins on the MBP and just one on the imac.
Every time I try to access the other computer over the network, I have to re-type the user name and password for that machine.
Basically, i want to be able to press the button on the server list and connect straight to the networked hard drive.
However (in either direction) - even if I select the button "remember this password in my keychain" - the keychain fails to remember the password and I have to wait, even if I click out of the network server and back in...
I assume this is a problem with the keychains (on both machines)... can anyone provide me with a fix for this problem... many thanks
Ben

Try going into Keychain Access (in /Applications/Utilities) then under the "KeyChain Access" item on the menu bar, select "Keychain First Aid" (or just simultaneously apply the ⌥⌘A keys.
Or, in Keychain Access, you could try just deleting any item that pertains to login to the computer with which you are trying to connect, then at next connection, be sure the "Remember password" checkbox is checked.
Another option that you might consider, once you can connect without having to enter username/password every time, is, once mounted, to drag the icon of the other computer onto your dock -- that will give you a one-click dynamic AFP mounting capability whenever needed.

My ipod touch 4th gen won't remember passwords

HI everyone,
my ipod touch used to remember passwords, then I had to change some that expired, so I told it to 'forget' passwords, now it won't remember the new ones!
how can I fix that?
thank you

well, that didn't fix it.
it is more frustrating because the right side letters don't type o portrait orietation, and the school logon screen doesn't go to landscape when I turn it, so I have put my passwords and school id in the notepad so I can copy and paste everyday I am at school
new suggestion??

ICloud Keychain won't suggest passwords for existing Facebook users

I've been monkeying around with the icloud keychain for the last two days and it definately behaves erraticlay. Sometimes it will make suggestions on the first try. Sometimes I need to log out of a website and log back in for it to work.
Anyways my main issue is it wont remember or suggest passwords from within the Facebook settings for an existing user. It will suggest a password if you want to signup for a new account that is out of the question.
Ive cleared the keychain of any existing passwords for FB, is this something to do with FB's own internal security settings? Ive messed arrounf with those but nothing seemed to make a diference.
Does anybody have any ideas for a work arround?

Hi judysings and thank you to answer.
Unfortunately, I already tried the steps :
iCloud Keychain is not syncing with other devices.
and
I restored my iOS device from iCloud Backup, but my iCloud Keychain items are not there.
several times with no success. (I'm not concerned by the other steps.)
I even restored my Mac and my iPhone as new today... still no iCloud Keychain sync between them.

Private browsing SUDDENLY won't remember passwords

Its been fine for a year, really, and now today, Safari 5.0.1 will no longer remember passwords when I'm in private mode.
any ideas??
thanks in advance

Not sure, but isn't this supposed to be the ideal function of private mode; not saving your passwords or any other entered data?

Keychain won't show passwords!!

So when I click on a keychain and click show password a box pops up saying Keychain Access requires that you type your password. When I enter my login password I get a box that says Access to this item is restricted. What am I doing wrong? When I click on another keychain and click show password the box access to this item is restricted pops up without even asking for a password to access.
Please help!

Keychain won't remember WEP password

every time I try and get mail or connect to the internet via airport this machine fails, and after going through network diagnostics requires me to enter the WEP password ... EVERY TIME ... very annoying. I check the "remember this password" box (every time), but the machine WILL NOT remember the password ...HELP

Try opening your Keychain Access app (Applications/Utilities/Keychain Access) and going to Keychain Access > Keychain First Aid. There you can verify and repair problems in your keychain.

Keychain won't remember my passwords?

I've always been pretty good about organizing my keychains on my computer but the other day accidentally deleted all passwords. I didn't think it would be that big an issue thought because after they all were entered and marked as "remember" it would just repopulate and all would be well. Instead, however, none of my passwords are remembered. I've gone into Keychain Access and can't find any issues. I've even run verify and repair within keychain.
Anybody know what i might have done or how to make sure my passwords are remembered from now on?
I've already searched to make sure this wasn't a question already and couldn't come up with anything... Any feedback is appreciated.
Thanks!

Are you referring to web site passwords, using Safari? They are "remembered" by storing them in the keychain.

Keychain won't remember / log on at boot

I'm just settig up a network with the following
10.3.9 on a G3 Mac
10.3.9 on a G4 mac
10.4.9 on an Intel Mac
XP SP2 on a PC
I can log on to each machine without problem, but I have to enter the uer name and password every time. I've tried to check "Add to keychain" when I connect but it doesn't seeme to remember. This is certainly the case with the Macs running 10.3.9, I think this works on the Mac running 10.4.9 but I can't sit in front of it to check just at the moment.
Also is there a way to connect to any available servers automatically on boot up?

Hi, and a warm welcome to the forums!
Try this first, run Keychain Access in Utilities, Menubar>Window>Keychain First Aid.
Second try this, move this file to the desktop for safe keeping then reboot...
/Users/nnnn/Library/Preferences/com.apple.keychainaccess.plist

Keychain won't save password when user name and password are on separate pages

I Have and iMac,iPhone and iPad. When I go on a site where the username and password are on different pages, Keychain doesn't seem to work. It won't offer a passwot, nor will it save the username and password I enter.
any suggestions?

II'd rather not disclose the financial institutions i do business with, but my bank and two mutual fund websites use separate pages for username and password. I chec around, and if you go to the Bank of America website, they do it as well. Keychain does not work on any of the three sites I use.
Thanks for your help.

ICal won't remember passwords correctly

We're having problems with iCal not saving login information for subscribed calendars correctly.
At my workplace each employee publishes their calendars to a private server (Not MobileMe). Each employee then subscribes to the calendars of the other employees as needed.
The calendars are password protected. We maintain an internal web page with a list of the calendars available, and links that the employees can click on.
When adding a new calendar, a employee clicks on a link webcal://server/Calendars/name.ics in Safari, which causes iCal to launch an ask if you want to subscribe to the calendar.
After clicking subscribe, iCal asks for a username and password.
Then, you get the options window where you can choose a name for the calendar and set auto-update options and so on. The calendar has in the mean time been downloaded and is displayed in the background.
On the next refresh of the calendar, a warning sign appears next to the calendar.
At this point, a new entry has been added to the keychain. The address is http://server/Calendars/name.ics, and the username and password is correct as verified by using Apple's keychain tool.
Clicking on the warning sign in iCal results in a request for a username and password. The message is (translated to English) "Updating the calendar "Name" failed. The server rejected the username or password".
According to the server logs, it looks as if iCal tries to connect without a username and password after the calendar has been downloaded the first time.
I've found two solutions:
1. Change the address of the subscribed calendar to webcal://username@server/Calendars/name.ics
2. Click on the warning sign, and type in the username and password again.
#1 causes iCal to start using the keychain item added during the initial subscription to the calendar.
#2 causes iCal to add a second keychain item, with the address webcal://server/Calendars/name.ics
#2 also adds the username to the address of the subscribed calendar, so that the address becomes the same as in solution #1.
All our Macs (PPC/Intel) running Leopard 10.5.4 have this issue when adding new calendars.
Anyone experienced something like this?

If you are storing on your computer, arther than a sharing service, the issues are limited to your computer.
The most frequent problems are related to file permissions -- it cannot get the required permissions to store your preferences.
Run Disk Utility.
The most helpful operation Disk Utility does is ( Repair Disk ). That is a good idea. If you can only ( Verify Disk ) that is OK, as long as there are no un-fixable errors.
For this partiucular problem, you should also ( Repair Permissions ). It may list many messages, all of which can be ignored unless they appear in RED.

Leopard mail won't remember passwords

For some strange reason Leopard mail doesn't seem to want to save any of our passwords to any of our accounts. We've gone into +mail preferences+ and saved them there, but as soon as we close down mail it 'forgets' them again. We've also repaired the keychain, but the same thing happens.
Anyone know of how to fix a password memory problem to get the passwords to 'stick' in mail?

{quote:title=henrikloenn wrote:}If I had an aquarium my mini would be in it.{quote}
LOL Thanks for the chuckle, we needed it
{quote}I've been at this for two weeks now and my keychains are unresponsive even after reparing permissions, starting over with a clean keychain and even a new user.{quote}
Yep, we've done the same with no results. Our problem has actually become WORSE over time - now it even asks us to put in the main keychain password, then it asks for each individual e-mail account password
{quote}It's crazy that they've managed to screw this up so badly.{quote}
I know. What is most upsetting to us is that Mail was not broken. For as long as we've used Tiger it has worked flawlessly. Then Leopard comes out and adds a few cosmetic type features to Mail and the whole ball of wax becomes a mess. Very disappointing to say the least.
