N9 not saving accounts passwords?

In the last few days I've noticed that every time I open Twitter I am asked for password (unless I leave it running and change apps).
Not as frequent, but now and then my Microsoft 365 account (Exchange) also asks for my password. And at the same rate my Nokia Account.
I've reset the device yesterday, and the behaviour continues.
Any ideas? Currently running PR1.1 20,2011.40-4_PR_005...
Cheers.

Decided to reset the N9 for the third time in a week. This time I did differently: instead of using the Accounts app to create the accounts, I used each individual app. So I started Facebook and entered the login information. Then started Twitter and entered the login information. Then I started email and entered my Microsoft 365 credentials.
So far has been two days and has not asked for my password again.
Perhaps the Accounts app has a problem when storing those credentials?

Firefox is not saving my passwords.

I have followed the instructions in the article titled "Usernames and passwords are not saved" but Firefox is not saving my passwords. What am I doing wrong? I am running Windows 8.1.

Mail not saving my passwords

My mail program has stopped saving my passwords so I must reenter them everytime I check my mail. When I type the password in under my account preferences is disappears when I go out of that window. I have searched support and tried fixing with all their suggestions with no success. I assume I must either reinstall keychain or mail. If so, how do I do that? I don't want to reinstall system software if I don't need to. Help!
It is working fine on my G5.

Verify/repair the startup disk (not just permissions), as described here:
The Repair functions of Disk Utility: what's it all about?
Open /Applications/Utilities/Keychain Access, choose Keychain First Aid from the application menu, and proceed to repair the keychain.
If that doesn’t work, try removing the password entries from the keychain and letting Mail create them again the next time it asks for them.
If the problem persists, try resetting the keychain:
1. In Keychain Access > Preferences > General, click Reset My Keychain and proceed as requested. A new (empty) login keychain should be created and the old one renamed and removed from the keychain list, but not deleted.
2. You can add the old (renamed) keychain (stored in ~/Library/Keychains/) back to the keychain list by clicking the [+] button in Edit > Keychain List.
3. Depending on what the problem with the old keychain was, you may be able to move/copy password entries from the old keychain to the new one if you wish.

Webmail not saving my password

Thank you both for the clarification. I used to use Outlook Express for mail email when I had win XP. I now have Win 7 and there isn't an email client,so I now use webmail. Outlook remembered both id and password and I thought webmail did the same.
Of course there is a Microsoft email client for Windows 7. It is called Windows Live Mail. It is similar to Outlook Express in many ways, different in others, but performs the same functions, and includes a built-in calendar. There are mail clients from other sources that will run on Windows 7 too.
Go to the Start button and click on it, click on All Programs, scroll down to the Windows Live folder, click on it, and you will find a way to download any or all of the Windows Live components, including Windows Live Mail.
If you still have access to your OE, you can migrate the folders and Address Book from OE to Windows Live Mail. The account definitions in Windows Live Mail are almost identical to the definitions in OE so the accounts are easy to set up.
Here is a link to the Windows Live page on Microsoft's website: http://download.live.com/
Hope this helps.

IChat not saving AIM password

I love the new iChat but it refuses to save my AIM password, any suggestions?
Thank You Much
Richard Brown

Hi,
When you opened IChat for the First time were those Start up Screens where you entered your details ?
If so did you add the Password then ?
Ifyou did not then the Password is not saved to the Keychain (and iChat cannot access it)
When you open iChat it will prompt you for the password in a separate window (this may or may not have a option to Save the password.)
If the pop up window does offer to Save the Password but does not then check you have Read and Write access to the Keychain (Home Folder/Library/Keychains )
(Do a Get Info on the File from the Finder's File Menu and check the bottom panel then edit if required)
If not, delete the account in iChat Preferences > Accounts and re-add it.

Mail will not remember account password LION

Just migrated to new Macbook Pro. Apple Mail account is set up but it will not remember the password. I have another account set up in Mail which is working fine.
Ruzzer

After much frustration and googling, I ended up finding my own solution.
My situation came when I replaced my MAIL folder with another mail folder from another account.
At first the mail account acted normally, but the next day after starting the mac my mail kept asking for account passwords on ALL of my mail accounts (a mix of IMAP and POP3).
Here are the fixes I tried but didnt work
KeyChain Access = First Aid repair (did nothing and found no errors)
Deleted my Mail plist file (again nothing changed)
Triple checked my email account passwords (no change)
The one thing that I noticed was that most people where told to delete the Mail keychain password entry in keychain. The thing is with my keychain there was NO MAIL KEYCHAIN. I think this is the big problem.
To remedy this I tried the KeyChain Access FIRST AID REPAIR again, but this time I had a look at the Key chain log and found there was over 26,000 entried. I figured they where only log files and just deleted all file. Restarted the mac and turned on mail, it will ask for password but this time it remembers the password!!!
Here is a step by step for you all:
WARNING: this will nuke all your stored keychains, be prepared to re enter any passwords or user names you may have stored.
1. Open Keychain Access (Use spotlight and search "Keychain")
2. Go to Keychain prefs (Command + ,)
3. In the GENERAL tab press the "Rest My Default Keychains" button
4. Enter your password (Press OK)
5. There will be an option to view log files, press this button
6. Select all files and delete them.
7. Restart your mac.
8. Open mail, it will ask for your mail account password
9. enjoy the stress of email again!
I thought someone else my find this useful and save them some headaches.

Mail not remembering Account Passwords

Sorry to add to the list of things not working, but...
My Mail doesn't seem to want to save it's passwords. I keep having to re-enter them each time I reopen Mail.
I've checked Keychain Access and it doesn't seem to be the cause of the problem, even tried repairing it to no avail.
Anyone else having this trouble?

So I tried all the keychain stuff, loaded the new 1.0 patch, ran permissions and disk repair from the install CD and still... I have tried deleting mail accounts and adding them back, it asks for passwords and all but does not retain them. HOWEVER, in my non-administrator account I can create and save mail settings and passwords just fine, and on my G4 Powerbook when I loaded 10.5 it kept the passwords and works fine.
I thought for a bit maybe there were regional versions of this software and the problem could be in one of those. I live in Northern Wisconsin and am using Snow Leopard... :o)

FF is not saving my passwords/websites any more.

All of my websites with username & passwords in the Tools>options>security disappeared and none are being saved. The popup box asking if I want FF to save passwords does not show up any more. What do I need to do to get this feature working again? Is it possible to get the ones that disappeared to show up again?

Apple TV 2 is not saving my Password

Hello Apple Users,
i have a Problem with the Apple TV 2 - since the Last Firmware Update, the Apple TV 2 doesnt save my Password for further buying. I always have to type in my password. The Apple ID is saved, but not the PW.
Every Time Apple TV 2 asked me, you wanna save the PW? - i say yes, but it doesnt save it.
Well, i made a reset of the Firmware, but no change.
Every night i go to bed, i switch off power from the tv and Apple TV. Iam not switch it off, ich pull the power plug. So there is no Power for the devices.
In earlier Firmwares that was not problem for the Apple TV. PW was always saved. Anyone have a clue, where the Problem is?
Thanks a lot.

I believe I missed the original post, but I don't usually participate in threads that have become a long list of me too's. Most people's symptoms and set ups are different and it's difficult trying to answer one poster when a thread gets like this. You'd be better off starting your own thread and describing your symptoms and set up properly.

WPA2Enterprise not saving authentication password.

EDIT: Ignore, solved. Just hadn't correctly installed gnome-keyring so it wasn't storing the password

Tartan Terror,
Try updating to 1.1.4, and then remove the email account from settings, and re-add it completely, not just adding the password to the existing settings.
Hope this helps,

ICloud keychain not saving updated password.

Hi All. Hoping for some insite here.
iCloud key chain seemed to be working fine for me until I started updating my password and using the pasword generator to change them.
First it takes updating a password on anyone of thie sites that I use two tries to sucessfully save. Then by the next day (maybe even sooner) that keychain just changes them back to tthe original. This id kind of a nighmare because 1. its incredibly annying that it does that and is not working correctly and 2. I've went throught the painstaking process of going into settings, copying the password and inputting into all my respected apps on my iOS device. No keychain has reverted back and I dont know what the encypted passwords were. I have to go to all the site and update passwords again to just have this happen over and over. I cant access any of my accounts.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
G

How do I know if I am set up as a Admin User?
The only thing in my keychain is certificates, public keys and network passwords.
Thanks for your help!

Firefox is not saving my passwords, and I have checked all settings! HELP!

I have checked all my settings, and I still have to put in my password every time I log into sites. Anyone know why it's doing this? THANKS IN ADVANCE!

Do you mean names and passwords in the Password Manager or do you mean that you are no longer logged on to (remembered by) websites after closing and restarting Firefox?
If the latter happens then you have a problem with cookies that are not kept or the file that stores the cookies is corrupted.

Keychain is not saving Entourage passwords

I would like anyone's assistance on this issue.
I just installed MS office 2004 and running Entourage with all my passwords and the like. I checked for it to save my password and I thought it did. But everytime I go close the app and go back it asks for each of the email's password.
I have gone to Keychain and run first aid and that didn't help.
Can someone give me a resolution on this? This is very cumbersome.
Regards!

What kind of email account do you have and are you fully patched to version 11.3.3 of Entourage? Is your account an Exchange account by any chance?
No one's pinpointed an exact cause for this problem but I suspect one of a few different things. Try these:
1. Change the password. If this is an Exchange Server password it probably needs to meet some complexity requirements. Make sure the new password (never used before) is a combination of UPPER case letters, lower case letters and numbers. You may also need to include a symbol character (Shift + 1-9). It should be eight characters or longer and begin with a letter. If you have a POP or IMAP account see if you can change the password through your service provider's website.
2. Look for a malformed message or spam message with Asian characters and delete it via webmail.
3. Log in via webmail and delete items from your Deleted Items folder.
4. You've already tried Keychain First Aid, which is a good start to troubleshooting.
Most of these ideas are from the MacWindows.com page here
<http://www.macwindows.com/entourage.html#112304>.
Other resources you might try for answers are The Entourage Help Page <http://entourage.mvps.org> and the Microsoft Entourage newsgroup <http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.mac.office.entourage>.
Hope this helps!

My iphone 4 S saved a the wifi password by it self but i can think of what im doing wrong with this 5

Reset the device by pressing and holding the home and power buttons until the white Apple logo appears.
Also, ensure there is actually storage capacity on the device available to save those pictures.
Use the device as designed, copy those 926 pictures off the device to a computer for safe keeping. Then delete them from the Camera Roll and sync back only the one's you want/need on the device.

Firefox is not saving the password for my spam website.

This all started when I was browsing through my options and looked at my Saved Passwords. There were two entries for my spam e-mail website. I deleted one of them. Later, when I had to view spam, Firefox no longer remember my password. When I checked the Saved Passwords again, I went with Show Passwords, that area was blank for my spam website. So I deleted that entry also.
At this point, Firefox should have asked me if I wanted to save my password the next time I logged into my spam site, but it doesn't do that. I have added several new passwords to new sites, and Firefox saved them correctly, this website included.
Oh yeah, I'm currently using Firefox 7.0.1

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.
