Location of Stored Passwords on Safari

Someone doing "repair" work on my computer reset Safari. I have Time Machine backups prior to the reset. What do I want to restore from Time Machine? Cookies? Or something else?

Just need to add that I want to restore my stored passwords, which are found in the Preferences section.

Is it possible to change the LOCATION of stored passwords?

I would like Firefox to store my passwords, but I dislike that anyone can just open up the browser to find all of my data. Yes, I have a master password, but I know it's not difficult for anyone to go into the data files and decrypt the password files.
What I would like to do:
1. Relocate the key3.db and logins.json files to a flash drive. Or the entire profile if absolutely necessary
2. Change where Firefox pulls passwords from to my flashdrive
3. Ultimately it will only be able to remember my passwords if my flashdrive is plugged in
For a quick Q+A:
1. Would I need to relocate just the two files, mentioned above, or the entire profile folder?
2. What file directs Firefox to the current password location, to the AppData folder? Can I/what do I need to change this?
3. Is this at all possible?
I'm currently using Firefox 37.0.2, running on Windows 7.
I'm not well versed on technical jargon, but I'm reasonably competent.
Please let me know if more information is needed.

Just a note, this doesn't really increase your security except in the case that someone comes into your house and sits down in front of your computer. That's the only real case that you need to be concerned about (or if you let someone have remote access over your computer).
The better things that you can do to increase security are:
* Keep Firefox up to date
* Keep plugins such as Flash and Java up to date (or remove them if you don't use them)
* Keep your operating system up to date (Make sure you check the Recommended updates, you might have a graphics driver update in there you should install)
* Have a reputable anti-virus (for you I would suggest Microsoft Security Essentials) and run regular scans
* Update to windows 10 when it comes out this Summer for increased security (If you update in the first year it's free!)
* Don't install or download untrusted things from the internet

Safari Stored passwords on iPad

Is there a way to see what passwords that are stored on my safari on my ipad?

I would respond to that by saying that is why I have a password locked ipad that will wipeout any sensitive information is someone fails entering the password 10 times. They could do the same with my laptop, but I can reveal them on there. Either way, thanks!

Safari Stored Password in Keychain

It would seem Safari for Windows 3.1 has stored my proxy password in a "keychain". Now Windows doesn't do Keychain, and no matter how I clear out my passwords, the proxy password is still remaining, as this password is out of date and Safari keep trying to apply it to my proxy settings, I keep getting kicked out off my proxy server. Is there ANYWAY I can totally remove ALL stored passwords???

Looks like keychain entries live here on Windows XP:
C:\Documents and Settings\{username}\Application Data\Apple Computer\Safari\Preferences\keychain.plist
I've deleted this on my (work*) machine, restarted safari and it's re-prompting for proxy passwords.
(*) - Home machines all OSX so no Win32 silliness there!

Cannot delete saved passwords in Safari on Yosemite

I am unable to remove any passwords from Safari (from the Passwords tab in Preferences). This is on Yosemite.
I have tried the solution outlined here: Yosemite Safari won't let me delete/change passwords, but it appears to make no difference.
Does anyone have any other suggestions?

Might be easier to find the passwords stored in Keychain Access located in /Applications/Utilities
Launch Keychain Access then select passwords on the left
Type in the name of a website you need the password for in the search field top right corner of that window.
Then right or control click that keychain then select the Attributes tab.
Click: Show password
(You may be prompted for your admin password)

Can I export passwords from Safari?

Is it possible to export saved passwords from Safari?

No.... reason why is that your passwords are stored in Keychain Access located in /Applications/Utilities
However, you can export keychain items and share them with another computer.
Open Keychain Access located in the Utilities folder in the Applications folder.
Select the items you want to export in the Keychain Access window.
Choose File > Export Items.If the Export Items menu is grayed, then at least one of the items selected cannot be exported.
Select a location to save your keychain item, and choose a file type from the File Format pop-up menu.If you want to export a certificate with its private key, choose Personal Information Exchange (p12) as the file format.
Click Save.
Enter a password. The password is required to access the exported keychain items from another system.
To import keychains...
Open Keychain Access located in the Utilities folder in the Applications folder.
Choose File > Import Items.
Select the Keychain items file you want to import, then choose the keychain you want the imported items added to from the Destination Keychain pop-up menu, and then click Open

Can't delete my saved passwords from Safari 5.1 on Snow Leopard 10.6.8

When the bugs in 1Password initially disabled that application on Safari 5.1 I started saving manually entered passwords on Safari while 1Password was being fixed. Now that 1Password is working I want to remove the saved passwords on Safari as a secirity precaution. But they won't delete; not individually, not as a group. When I click Remove All the passwords all turn blue as if about to be deleted en mass but don't disappear. Trying it by highlighting one and clicking Remove doesn;t work either. Any suggestions?

You are much better off using the Mac OS X app Keychain Access which is pre installed on your Mac instead of a third party password manager.
This link shows the results of a Safari / 1Password forum search which reveals all the problems 1Password causes for Safari.

Your passwords are not stored in Safari per se, they are stored in Keychain Access. /Applicatiions/Utilities. Trying to use both is causing a conflict.

OWB 10gr2 - Location Login and Password

I can't find in which tables are stored login and password of locations.
Thanks,
Marco

Hi
Locations in OWB are like db links and i dont think that passowrds or user names of dblinks/locations are stored in Repository Tables(Plz correct me if im wrong)
Locations point to the schema at which you are creating your objects using OWB. When you created a module and assign a location, it means that all the objects created in that module will be created in the Schema pointed by the Login Id of a Location.
To get information regarding the schema/users/login you can go to design center and right click on the module and choose open editor. and then click on the .... Tab
Ther you can find the schema/users/login as USER NAME and for passwords you need to refer to your DBA. You can also know the username from the Locations of Connection Explorer in Design Center.
Please let me know why do u need this info.
I hope this is what you were looking for.
Regards
Vibhuti

In Password Preferences, how do I amend a password when Safari hasn't picked up the fact that I have changed it? Martin Shelton

In Password Preferences, how do I amend a password when Safari has not detected that I have changed it?

Open Keychain Access located in HD > Applications > Utilities
Select Passwords on the left.
Type in the website name top right corner of that window.
Control click the website keychain then click Delete.
Back to Safari > Preferences > Passwords
Delete that website.
Navigate to the same site on Safari. Enter your user name and new password.
Click Yes when prompted to save that data to a new keychain. That information should now be updated in Safari > Preferences > Passwords.

Stored passwords

so maybe i'm missing something here, but when i try and login to facebook, i can't get auto logged in. first place i checked was in my stored passwords. i made sure there was nothing about facebook being set to 'never store passwords,' or whatever it's called exactly. i tried again and nothing. so i went back in and deleted every facebook login there was. tried again and nothing. i can't even check the 'remember me' box and have that work. it never stays checked. is my version of safari, 3.2.1., too old for it to work with facebook? i can't really think of anything else.
i even reset safari with everything checked except the remove stored passwords and remove other autofill texts and that did nothing as well.
is there some other option somewhere i'm missing that would keep my login from auto showing up in facebook? cause it's highly annoying.

and one other thing, i've deleted all my facebook saved passwords. so i go and login to facebook and safari doesn't ask me if i want to save the login info. why? cause normally when i delete a previously saved login info and than logon, safari will ask me if i want to save the password.

Mail not using stored password after failure to connect

I am using Mail to access several mail accounts on OSX Lion.
If Mail fails to connect to one of these accounts, when it next tries to connect, it prompts for a password instead of using the stored password.
This is proving a problem as I have one account which I frequently have problems connecting to. Therefore I get frequent annoying pop-ups asking for the password when Mail automatically checks for new mail.
Is there any way to change this behaviour?

I agree this can be annoying. But sometimes it's difficult to fix because it could be on the Server end vs a Keychain issue. You could go to Keychain and do a few things.
1) First, in Keychain, make sure your Keychain password is correct.
2) Close Mail. Delete the Keychain item associated with your mail password for the account you're having trouble with.
3) Open Mail, you'll be prompted for your passwork: select to save in Keychain
Keychain is Located in .../Applications/Utilities/Keychain Access. Below is an example of the Keychain

How do i find the location of Oracle password file in the HDD

we giv the location of the password file while we use the orapwd command to create one.
later if we forget the location of the password file (incase it is not at the default location) then is there a way to find it or do we just create a new password file?
secondly, for oracle to use the password file we giv the remote_login_passwordfile='EXCLUSIVE' in the parameter file. wat tells oracle the location of the exact password file??
Thanks
Arvind

The default location are OS dependant.
On Unix/Linus it is under $ORACLE_HOME/dbs
On Windows, it is under %ORACLE_HOME%/database
To change the default location, nothing inside database, but :
On Unix/Linux, you have to create a symbolic link for that file to the target location
On Windows, you have to change env variable (regedit) ORA_PWFILE and ORA_SID_PWFILE
So, you have to check this setting for the real password file location.

Can't remove saved passwords from Safari

Using 10.10.1, Safari 8.0, upgrade from Snow Leopard.
When I try to Remove one or all passwords in Safari's Passwords prefpane, nothing happens. How do I fix this?
In a possibly related issue, when I try to delete the X509Anchors keychain file in Keychain Access, nothing also happens.

Back up all data before proceeding.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership, permissions, and access controls to the default. If you've intentionally set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it, but you do need to follow the instructions below.
Step 1
If you have more than one user, and the one in question is not an administrator, then go to Step 2.
Triple-click anywhere in the following line on this page to select it:
sudo find ~ $TMPDIR.. -exec chflags -h nouchg,nouappnd,noschg,nosappnd {} + -exec chown -h $UID {} + -exec chmod +rw {} + -exec chmod -h -N {} + -type d -exec chmod -h +x {} + 2>&-
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command may take several minutes to run, depending on how many files you have. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1, if you prefer not to take it, or if it doesn't solve the problem.
Start up in Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open. In that window, type this:
resetp
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select
 ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.
