No autofill prompt dialogue box when i fill in names and passwords on sites

Hi
I've only just realised that Safari ought to prompt me everytime i fill in a username or passoword on a website. But mine never has. Is there anything i can do to get this feature working.
I've read various threads.
I've turned on prefs to make sure username & passowrd is ticked
I've removed the com.apple.safari.plist
I've not actually found any threads detailing the non existance of any autofill prompt......only disfunctional prompt filling or a failue to fill.
Any advise welcome

I've experienced the same lack of Safari autofill asking to save the filled-in information. Just recently it did so on one page, but has not done so for any others. I've done the things on the threads but this is the behavior that I still experience.

  • Hi. I am using a time capsule for few PC s. I have made 5 different account to access time capsule. but in windows when i enter account name and password for one account, i cannot access other accounts, because windows saves username

    Hi. I am using a time capsule for few PC s. I have made 5 different account to access time capsule. but in windows when I enter account name and password for one account, i cannot access other accounts, because windows saves username. how can i prevent this from happenning. I really need to access all my accounts and dont want it to save automaticlly.

    Why have 5 accounts if you need to access all of them.. just have one account?
    Sorry I cannot follow why you would even use the PC to control the Time Capsule. Apple have not kept the Windows version of the utility up to date.. so they keep making it harder and harder to run windows with apple routers.

  • Safari not autofilling names and passwords.

    Just updated Safari on my ipad 2, and now it no longer auto fills user names and passwords. Auto fill is selected, ipad has been rebooted, and reset but it will not work.  Forums state that this is a known Safari bug. What is being done.

    What website did you have problems with?
    Have you reported this to Apple at http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html ?
    I haven't seen this problem but it may only occur on certain web sites.

    I purchased an annual subscription to Acrobat Pro XI and installed on my Mac two days ago. I cannot open PDFs. I keep getting a dialogue box saying my trial has ended and asking if I want to buy the software. Was using Acrobat Pro 9 previously. It appears even that won't open. SOS!

    Hi Margot ,
    You can click on accept or buy ,which ever option you see on that dialog box.It will prompt you to type in your Adobe Credentials.You can license it by doing the same.
    If it still doesn't work ,follow these steps and see how it goes .
    Delete all the files from following folders:
    [Home]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/SLStore
    [Home]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/SLCache
    And, delete all files from following folder except cache.db
    [Home]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/AdobePCD
    Then launch Acrobat and try to activate and check.

  • When I log onto my macbook, my user account isn't showing up. All that shows up is a gray screen with only two boxes saying "Name" and "Password". How do I fix this?

    There was one time where my wi-fi wasn't connecting so I tried to turn it back on. A window popped up but I had alrdy clicked enter before I read it, but it said something like "...will change settings, is that okay...?" And then wi-fi still would not connect. So I tried restarting my computer, but when it turned on, my user account did not show up and all there was on the screen was two boxes that asked for name and password. I was the only person using my macbook so I never set up a password for it. Has anyone had this problem? How do I fix this?

    Since I'm not in front of your computer I can't tell what you see - I can only guess and give a hint. So once again, if the disk name on your Mac is "Macintosh HD", when you boot in Recovery Mode, and start up the Terminal in "Utilities" menu, and then type in the command:
        df -k
    you should see a list of "volumes" - one of which is named "/Volumes/Macintosh HD" (but yours could be anything) and in that folder there is another folder called "Users" and in that folder is the names of the home directories of the user accounts (and the names that you can enter into the login screen) that you are looking for. So if you are not familiar with using the Terminal you should say so and I can give more details. But assuming you're OK with typing in commands to theTerminal this is what I would try:
        ls -l /Volumes/Macintosh HD/Users
    and you should see something like the following (my disk name is "Yosemite" so I typed "ls -l /Volumes/Yosemite/Users")
    ML9Book:~ xxxx$ ls -l /Volumes/Yosemite/Users
    total 0
    drwxr-xr-x+  11 Guest      _guest   374 Oct 25 19:23 Guest
    drwxr-xr-x+  33 Jack       staff   1122 Oct 24 10:49 Jack
    drwxrwxrwt   13 root       wheel    442 Dec 27  2013 Shared
    drwxr-xr-x+  38 admin      staff   1292 Oct 25 16:59 admin
    drwxr-xr-x+  15 x13        staff    510 Oct 23 22:41 x13
    drwxr-xr-x+  12 514        staff    408 Oct 23 12:24 x14
    So now reboot your mac into normal mode - and you will see the login screen with the two empty boxes.
    So the above output tells me that there are 3 users - Jack, x13 and x14 (there is always a Shared user and there might or might not be a Guest user since it depends on how your setup was setup) - and these 3 are the names that I could try and enter into the login screen (in the top or first box). You can try no password, but I don't think you can create accounts without passwords, so this will likely fail. In that case you need to reboot in recovery mode and run the Terminal command again (from the Utilities menu) and do a resetpassword command. Another window will pop up and from there you select the Volume (in my case I selected the Yosemite volume - in your case you would select the "Macintosh HD" if that is what your volume name is). Then select the user account you want to reset the password from the drop-down list of user accounts (it will show you the long and short names, and the short name is what was in the listing above from the "ls -l" command), then enter the new password in the indicated box, and then enter it again in the next box, to make sure you didn't make a typo, and enter a password hint in the last box (optional). Then click the "Save" button and you will see another dialog box pop up telling you that the password was changed but not the Keychain password (hopefully you remember this one) - click the OK button then reboot back in normal mode (click on the Apple logo in the top left corner of the screen and click on Restart).
    Does this help?

  • 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.

  • Firefox had saved my login name and password for a site, when I changed the password, FF won't ask to save/update it so I have to enter it manually now. How do I get it to prompt me in FF7.01?

    Using FF7.01 on a HP Pavilion dv6775us laptop running Vista Home (updated continuously)
    The site owner changed the rules in order to improve password security so I was required to create a new password. When I did so I was not prompted by FF7.01 to save the new password.
    When I next logged into the site, FF remembered the user name but presented the old (invalid) password. I was forced to manually enter the new password, but again was not prompted to save it to FF.
    I then went into FF Security, viewed the saved passwords and deleted the entry for the site in question. I expected that when I logged into that site the next time I would be asked if I wanted to save the username and password. I wasn't.
    I then exited from FF and relaunched it and again logged into the site in question. I was not prompted to save the username or password.
    How do I force FF to ask for and then save the username and password?

    Thank you for your reply.
    My problem isn't removing my log-in name and password for a site.
    The problem is I already had the log-in name and password saved by FF, but I was required by the site to change the password. FF did not recognize that it had changed and refuses to prompt me to save the new password.
    After several attempts to force the prompt, I deleted the site from the Saved Password list, hoping that the next time I entered my log-in name and password on that site FF would ask if I wanted to save both. That did not happen even after exiting FF and relaunching it.
    So, right now FF will not save my log-in name and password for a site that it used track for me. Given the complexity of the new password, I really do not want to manually enter it every time I use the site.
    Regards.

  • I just switched to Charter. When going to Mozilla Firefox a box appears saying, Authentication Required and asks for a User name and Password. What do I do?

    I switched from CenturyTel to Charter. I can't use Firefox because a box appears asking me for Authentication Required, User Name and Password. When I hit cancel, this message appears:
    HTTP 401 - Unauthorized
    Authorization is required to access the configuration server.
    You must enter the correct username and/or password.
    When I called Charter, they told me they recommended using Internet Explorer. I told them I didn't want IE, I preferred Firefox. They recommended I go to your support page, so here I am. :o)

    Have you reset the password recently for the email account?
    A real simple fix usually is to delete the mail account (settings < mail contacts calendars, tap the affected account and choose delete at the bottom) Then re add the account.

    Someone sends me a PDF form when I fill it out and email it back to them they receive it blank-why?

    All the fill-in PDF forms I've used are read/only. Meaning that whatever you fill in does not get stored and saved back with the file.
    As Linc suggests, you will be creating a new PDF, that will not have fillable fields but that will contain whatever you filled in.

  • When I try installing Firefox 6.0 from the binary file, a box with "Run As" in the type field appears, which asks me for user name and password. Please advise about the course of action that I should take.

    Trying to run it as the current user, or as one from a different account(administrator in this case) also doesn't work.

    I think the client is not able to do a HTTP POST
    to the WLS server but it can do a HTTP GET.
    I dont know why.

    Hi,
    I deployed a rpc web service using WLS 7.0 SP2 in HP-UX 11 environment.When I
    invoke the web service through my browser (IE 6.0) using the web servicesurl,
    it brings my service method correctly. From there, if I click the invokebutton
    it asks me for a network user name and password under "weblogic" realm???If I
    provide the admin user credentials (which I supplied while creating mydomain)
    it is not accepting that it keeps popping up this network user passwordwindow
    over and over. Not sure which username/password I have to provide here tosee
    the result of my service.
    If I try to invoke the web service through my client (static) I am gettinga connection
    refused exception. I guess either way, I am not able to access my webservice.
    In the attached file, I have cut and pasted the client stack trace as wellas
    the server log trace from weblogic.
    Any ideas would be highly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Ganesh
