Master password "Password Required" Prompt Appears Late

On some websites (where I have initially used the Master Password feature to store my user name and password), the "Password Required" dialogue box fails to appear. I have to manually enter my user name and password, hit Enter, and then the "Password Required" box appears and asks for my Master Password. It is working backwards! Any idea on how I can fix this?

I have had this problem for some time. It does not always happen. When I bring up an initial FF window and navigate to a particular site, if the "password required" pop-up does not appear, then if I close the window and reopen it, the pop-up will then appear, and the proper fields will be filled in.
Also, if this pop-up does not appear, but I click in the websites userid field to enter it manually, two suggested userids from disparate websites appear, one of which is correct for this site but the other has no relation to this site. Cleared cookies, but no help.

  • Firefox master password prompt appears randomly

    Every time I open Firefox, the Master Password prompt appears randomly within about 30 seconds. Sometimes I'm still sitting on the home screen when I get the prompt.
    I have tried to refresh Firefox, reinstall Firefox, I've turned my Master Password requirement on and off, restarted the computer... nothing seems to work.
    I would either like the prompt right away, as soon as I open my browser, or when it is actually required, like when I open a login page. Not the current, seemingly random appearance that disrupts me in the middle of web browsing.
    This bug is so annoying that it is a deal breaker for me. It's especially annoying when I am starting to type something, then the Master Password prompt appears without warning and takes the cursor focus with it. I have to stop what I'm doing, deal with the Master Password prompt, then get back to what I'm doing.
    In the meantime, I've switched over to Chrome, which is serving my needs fine, but I would like to come back to Firefox if I can resolve this issue.

    Hi Will,
    Are you using Firefox Sync?
    In order to keep your sync login details secure, you have to unlock your master password before Firefox can synchronise.

  • When I start m/ff browser, the pop-up prompt asking for the master security password appears twice. It was not doing this before. What is wrong?

    When I start the m/ff 3.6.3 browser, the pop-up prompt asking for the master security password appears twice. It was not doing this for the 1st month i had it, and it just started doing it all of a sudden. What could be wrong? O/S = Vista Home Prem.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == Afew days ago

    It could be this bug: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=499233 - - multiple master password prompts triggered by filling form logins in multiple tabs
    If you have multiple tabs with form logins restoring when you restart Firefox, that could cause multiple master password prompts.
    There may be other bug(s) causing multiple master password prompts. One way to make the master password a little more usable is the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/9808/ StartupMaster] add-on, which prompts once for the password at startup, then never bothers you.

  • Strange white light appearing when password input required on locked apps!

    Strange white light appearing when password input required on specific apps... Locked apps.
    It is a thick white line) appearing momentarily on upper left side of my screen.
    This only appears briefly as specific apps are opening up .....only on apps where a password is required,(locked apps) like password managers, Apple App Store, etc.
    (this is a little troubling… And I'm wondering about the security of my phone now)
    I'm using iPhone 5s with latest iOS 7.1 This only started after the latest iOS update!
    Although this line appears very briefly, I was able to get some screenshots examples (see links)

    Apple has no idea what this is… They're only suggestion was to wipe the phone clean and reinstall from the last backup! If that doesn't work, they would replace the phone.
    Before I have to do this, I'm wondering if this could be a phone app doing this, or the iOS or something easily explained/ remedied?
    Any ideas?

    Anyone have any thoughts on this? Searches and experiments
    still not yielded an answer...

  • Screensaver password prompt appears by itself

    I've just started noticing this problem a month or so ago and it is now becoming a security risk and major pain in the ***. I throw the mouse in the corner to start the saver, it starts and then randomly after a few seconds the password prompt appears. then goes away and appears again a few seconds after that!
    anyone else seen this weird behavior and/or know how to resolve it?

    Not to be too pedantic...
    I throw the mouse in the corner to start the saver, it starts and then randomly after a few seconds the password prompt appears.
    I saw the word mouse and assumed you used one , and if the password prompt is appearing and not your desktop - the screen is locked.
    Semantics does not solve the issue though, and hopefully KT's advice helps resolve this for you.
    Cheers

  • UserPrincipal.ChangePassword thinks the password does not meet the password policy requirements.

    I am working with C# 3.5.  My goal is to have a simple program to allow a user change their Active Directory user password via a web page.  I have a console application to initially test the commands to active directory and I am running into a problem.
    my domains password policy is as follows.
    Enforce password history 24 passwords remembered
    Minimum password length 7 characters
    Password must meet complexity requirements Enabled
    Store passwords using reversible encryption Disabled
    The error I am getting is "The password does not meet the password policy requirements. Check the minimum password length, password complexity and password history requirements. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x800708C5)"
    I believe the new password I am using does meet the policy requirements and I can't seem to get this program to work.  All I want to build is a simple program to allow a user to change their Active Directory user password.
    My test code is below.
    using System;
    using System.Collections.Generic;
    using System.Linq;
    using System.Text;
    using System.DirectoryServices.AccountManagement;
    using System.DirectoryServices;
    namespace ActiveDirectoryHacking
    class Program
    static void Main(string[] args)
    PrincipalContext adPrincipalContext = new PrincipalContext(ContextType.Domain, "192.168.1.26", "OU=Staff,DC=SFdev,DC=org", "John.Doe", "Initial Complex P234dfword");
    Console.WriteLine("Validate user {0}", adPrincipalContext.ValidateCredentials("John.Doe", "Initial Complex P234dfword"));
    UserPrincipal user = UserPrincipal.FindByIdentity(adPrincipalContext, "John.Doe");
    Console.WriteLine(user.DistinguishedName);
    user.ChangePassword("Initial Complex P234dfword", "e$213434sDKS really? www.microsoft.com");
    //user.SetPassword("Initial Complex P234dfword");
    user.Save();
    Console.WriteLine("Press a key to exit.");
    Console.ReadKey();
    The .SetPassword works if I use a user with Domain Admin access but it appears the John.Doe is unable to change their own password with the .ChangePassword method.
    The output until the exception is the following
    Validate user True
    CN=John Doe,OU=Staff,DC=SFdev,DC=org
    I have no clue why any password I select for the new password does not work.

    I looked into the password policy and this is what I have learned.  There is a major difference between undefined and defined in policies plus making sure the defined policies are set with values that will provide the desired results.
    Since this is a development domain and is used for testing I have tweaked the password policy to allow me to develop and test against the domain with a little bit more freedom than a production domain.
    I have changed the policy to the following settings. 
    Enforce password history 0 passwords remembered
    Maximum password age 0 days
    Minimum password age 0 days
    Minimum password length 7 characters
    Password must meet complexity requirements Disabled
    Store passwords using reversible encryption Disabled
    Now, I am able to run my program against the domain testing the password change utility.  My error was leaving some of the policy settings as not defined and not understanding what that really means for each setting.  For development of a password change utility I need the flexibility to test and the relaxed policy changes allows me to run the program many times without having to work with test data that works around a more restricted policy.

  • ODI Master Repository Password Recovery

    Hi Guys,
    I recently took over and ODI environment (10.1.3.6.2) with one master repository and work repository. They are located on an Oracle 10rR2 DB. Here is my problem Noone here knows the password for this schemas. How can I find out what these passwords are without changing them?
    I have the encoded master repository password in odiparams file. Is there a DECODE tool to find out what the decoded password is?
    As always, all the help you can provide is appreciated.
    Regards,
    Emrah

    Hi,
    There is no DECODE functionality available for this purpose.
    You can probably do this
    1. Choose a password for that particular user , say ORACLE
    2. Now goto <ODI_HOME>\bin directory and invoke a command prompt
    3. Encode the password using the following command
    agent encode < Password > ie. agent encode ORACLE
    4. Connect to your Master repository schema and check SNP_USER table for
    what is the value for I_WUSER for that particular user (as in step 1) .
    5. Update the SNP_USER table using following query.
    UPDATE SNP_USER SET PASS='<ENCODED PASSWORD OBTAINED IN STEP 3>' WHERE I_WUSER=<I_WUSER value obtained in step 4>;
    6. Issue commit ;
    Now try to login to ODI designer with the new password .
    Thanks,

    On your iPad, delete the existing account then sign back in with the new ID and password.

  • Connecting to an unknown network when a password is required.

    I struggle to connect to an unknown network when a password is required. In settings, there's a tick as if it's connected but it isn't. What am I doing wrong?

    - Googling shows that you have to join the network and then open Safari and agree to the terms and conditions and then the connect will be completed.
    - Try:
    Reset networks settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
    - Go to Settings>Safari and clearing history, cookies and data

  • I can't get my password manager working. It remembers passwords for websites but when I enter in a new password (because this had to be changed) or when I have a new username + PW that I wish to save, the password manager does not appear.

    I can't get my password manager working. It remembers passwords for websites but when I enter in a new password (because this had to be changed) or when I have a new username + PW that I wish to save, the password manager does not appear.

    If you updated your existing account then try logging out of it on the iPhone by tapping on the id in Settings > iTunes & App Stores and then log back in and see if that 'refreshes' the account on the iPad.
    If you created a new account then you can log out of the old account and in with the new one as above, but any content that you purchased/downloaded via the old account will remain tied to that old account, and only that old account can re-download its content and download updates to its apps.

  • HT2476 After updating to OS X Mountain Lion, there is a password locked pdf document in the Downloads Stack. Does anyone know what password is required to access this file?

    After updating to OS X Mountain Lion, there is a password locked pdf document in the Downloads Stack. Does anyone know what password is required to access this file?

    Hello, if your install disk is locked (I assume with FileVault) there is no way to change the password. If it weren't locked there were at least two solutions. As far as I know, the only solutions now are:
    - contact your dad
    - erase and reinstall the OS X clean
    Let us know.

  • 1st Generation iphone, 2.1 iPhone OS and password incorrect exchange prompt

    I have a 1st generation (non 3G) phone and I upgraded to 2.1 (5F136) recently. Dont exactly remember when I upgraded the OS. All of a sudden, I am getting password incorrect exchange prompts. What the **** is happening? The password is correct and I enter it and can send/get email. But I have to do this like 10 times in a day. Unbelievable!
    Where is this amnesia coming out of? Is this a known bug? Any known fixes? Have rebooted enough number of times. This is happening when I am on my wi-fi as well continuously. My gmail account is just fine. Whats going on Apple?

    I have seen this with misconfigured Exchange/IIS ActiveSync setups on the server side. Have you checked with your exchange peeps to see if they changed anything?
