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.

  • 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.

  • WLAN network always prompts for user name and password...

    Hi,
    Everytime Airport detects the WLAN of my institution, it prompts "Authenticating to network" and I have to put in my user name and password. Is there any way to store this information (probably in the keychain) so that an automatic login to the WLAN [as in my home network] is possible? The problem is that I can not find any button like "save this password in the keychain" [you can only put in user name and password]. Is it possible that my institution prevents automatic login?
    I also tried to create an item in the keychain directly - does not work.
    Cheers

    Hi,
    I agree in that there has to be a prompt for WLAN access. Otherwise just everyone could step by and use the access. But if I have to authenticate once, why should the institution prevent an automatic login for me in the future? Well, okay, if someone steals my notebook and knows my master password... hmm, so there is no way to locally (on my notebook) use some software that automatically puts in my user name and password so that I - maybe - only have to push the "Go/Enter/Access" button?
    For example, some institutions use browsers to authenticate and 1Password, but also Safari natively, can automatically fill in the information.
    Cheers

  • Problems with invalid user name and password

    We have a one week old MacBook 2.2GHz basic white model that is generally working well.
    However a problem has now arisen whereby on any attempt to shutdown or restart it won't accept the administrator user name and password, returning an 'invalid' warning. The issue seems to be the user name as the administrator password has worked OK in other situations. Naturally I have checked and re-checked the user name (which was in the form (first name followed by surname in upper and lower case) and it was OK (in any case it was being prompted automatically by the system.)
    I have subsequently changed the administrator name (to the form first name only in upper and lower) and the password as suggested by the following article:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306876
    Nothing has changed. Can anyone help?

    HI Martin, a late post to confirm the solution from the last post by using the "RETURN" key works..
    (mouse click worked ok in Tiger 10.4.x I thought).
    Tis was a delight and so obvious after seeing these symptoms.
    I have posted this entry in case anyone else get's into this situation since OSX LEopard 10.5. Several people have encountered this issue where they may have:
    • LEopard 10.5.x installed
    • have 2 or more active users LOGGED into the OSX system via fast user / fastuser switching
    • request a SHUTDOWN or RESTART from an user
    • get a OSX request to supply administrator attributed user and it's associated password to validate SHUTDOWN | RESTART request,
    • have admin | root account verification failure of password after 'clicking'.
    After some months of frustration, it seems a simple PRESS of the "RETURN key" works!
    Simply, DON'T mouse click after entering admin user/password.... instead press "RETURN" key.
    fwiw.

  • When I enter my user name and password for my e-mail account, the page won't open

    My e-mail account page won't open after I enter my user name and password on the log-in page. I have vcrified with Suddenlink that my user name and password are correct.

    Thanks Peter.
    Partial success in that I have been able to get mails onto the iPad  - however....
    Progress from a previous 'rumage' on problem discussions.    I have succeded in setting up the iPad so that it receives emails from the sky address under 'MAIL' on the iPad.    However trying to open in the 'usual' way   -  safari - then sky  -  then email  -  enter user name and password  -  I get the same result  -  it just returns to the log in menu for sky email with user name and password blank. 
    I had a previous problem with the sky mail ceasing to show recent mails, frozen in time on the iPad.   Somehow by trying some reset instructions I was able to 'unlock' the iPad and all was OK until it 'froze' again.    This time I clearly screwed up attempts to unlock, resulting in not being able to access email accounts via the Sky site !!

  • Time Capsule won't accept my user name and password for access - Help!

    Hi all,
    My Time Capsule seemed to stop working one day and I had to do a hard reset with the little button at the back. After that it worked and I restored my wireless network settings but now I can't access the Time Capsules hard drive with Time Machine.
    When I try to choose it as my Backup Disk in the Time Machine preferences it says "Enter your user name and password so Time Machine can access the file server "Our Time Capsule" (the name of my time capsule). However, every time I try to enter my password I get "Sorry, you entered an invalid username or password".
    I've already tried several resets of the Time Capsule and I've also tried logging on my computer as the Root user and changing my administrator account password back and forth but no go.
    Help! and Thanks.

    Norman & Harry,
    Consider the following:
    *_Time Capsule Keeps Asking Me For a Password_*
    It will be important to know what is going on, or what you are doing when it asks for the password. Is it asking for a password only when Time Machine attempts a backup? Consider this:
    It is NOT your username and password it wants when you try accessing the Time Capsule. (I know... it SAYS "username and password") But it means the Time Capsule's Name and Password.
    You will find that by launching Airport Utility.
    Select the TC on the left.
    Click "Manual Setup".
    Click the "Time Capsule" Tab.
    You will see "Time Capsule Name:" and "Time Capsule Password".
    Make sure “Remember password in keychain" is checked.
    That is the information you need to enter when it asks for "username & password."
    *I Don’t Remember What My Time Capsule Password Is*
    You can see what your current TC password is by going into Keychain.
    Open your Keychain and select "login" from the Keychains pane in the top left. Highlight "Passwords" in the Category pane from the lower left.
    Sort all the items by Kind. Note everything labeled "Airport...". How many do you have listed? There should only be one "Airport base station password" for each base station that you have active. Also, there should only be one "Airport network password" for each network you have created. If there are more than these, then delete all but the ones with the most recent Modification date.
    To see what passwords are being stored, double-click your Time Capsules' entry. A new window will appear.
    Put a check beside "Show Password". You may be asked for your own Admin password so enter that.
    Now the Password field will display the password you entered into Airport Utility for your Time Capsule
    *It Still Won’t Accept the TC Name and Password*
    Launch Airport Utility --> Manual Setup.
    Select "Disks" in the tool bar above.
    Click the "File Sharing" tab.
    Is "File Sharing" checked? It should be.
    What is selected beside "Secure Shared Disks"? If it says "With Accounts" or "With a Disk Password" then the system will ask you for a password every time it mounts the TC hard disk. If you switch it to "With Time Capsule Password" then use the password you designated earlier in the “Time Capsule" tab. It should only ask you once and then never again - because you had checked "Remember password in keychain".
    If you have made any changes then click "Update".
    Let us know if this resolves your issue.
    Cheers!

  • I use a program called RoboForm2Go that will fill in user names and passwords for me when I open a site and now that option is not available in the taskbar at the top. How can I use that feature again?

    I save the RoboForm2Go program on a flash drive and when I opened a site that I had saved the user name and password, the RoboForm2Go would show up in the taskbar with the site I opened so I could just click on it and it would automatically fill in the info for me.

    Under View>/toolbars, I don't have an option to choose RoboForm Toolbar. When I initially set up the program, I was using Internet Explorer and I can go to the taskbar at the bottom and choose RoboForm but then whatever site I was opening in Firefox will now open in Internet Explorer instead of Firefox. The old version of Firefox would display the RoboForm toolbar at the top.

    The minimum requirement for iCloud is Lion 10.7.2 - earlier systems don't show the iCloud preference pane. If you want to use iCloud you will have to upgrade to Lion or Mountain Lion (assuming your computer meets their requirements) but even so you won't be able to publish web pages to iCloud because it does not provide web hosting. This page examines that situation in more detail:

  • I receive an error stating user name and password are not valid on my ipad and iphone 3Gs when attempting to load email from my icloud account. When I log onto icloud from my Mac, it wont load the email either.

    One day, my ipad and iphone pick up my emails (.mac account) from icloud just fine. the next day, I recieved error messages that say my user name and password are not accurate. I removed the icloud program on both devices and added it back on to both devices and get the same message. I logged into icloud from my Mac and while I can log in, it times out when I select email and wont load the email there either. Any Suggestons?

    I am having the same problem; it started about 24-36 hours ago.
    I know my ID/PW combo are correct because I can access all other aspects of iCloud except mail.
    iPhone -- returns incorrect ID / Password
    iPad -- Same
    Mail.app on Mac -- returns incorrect password error
    icloud.com -- allows me to log in and use all functions accept mail.  When I try to use mail it stays on a white screen for about 60 seconds then returns a dialogue box that indicates a server error.
    I contacted Apple and they placed my iCloud account into something called "Troubleshooting" mode.  They generated a new strong password and sent it on to "Engineering."
    I suspect there are a small number ofo users like you who are affected with the same problem I am.  Too small a number for it to be reported as an outtage.  I suggest you call Apple and open a case to have your mail investigaged.
    Hope this helps...

  • 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.
