Not saving certain passwords

I've been trying for weeks to have my MBA save passwords on certain site to no avail. Some sites will ask like normal (e.g. facebook, yahoo, etc.) the computer creates a spot in keychain and everything is fine. Other sites like, Stumbleupon, Scottrade, to name a couple won't even ask me. Scottrade asks on Firefox but not Safari, but Stumbleupon won't ask on Firefox, Chrome, or Safari. I've tried deleting my history and everything else so it's like my first time visiting the site but no dice. It's not on any exception list and nothing for it in my keychain. There are several other sites but these are site I go to pretty regularly. Any help would be greatly appreciated this is driving me crazy.

Some sites deliberately block autofill. Keychain will not work on those sites. I think the rationale is that if you were ever to access the site on a borrowed or public computer, you could, through ignorance or error, accidentally compromise your password.
There are other password managers, such as 1Password, that use different methods for remembering and filling in passwords. They can bypass the restriction.

  • 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.

    Make sure that you do not run Firefox in permanent Private Browsing mode (Never remember history).

  • 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.

    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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • FF4 is not saving certain Navigation Bar changes

    In particular, I can't permanently (resets after restart) move/remove the arrow buttons, home button, or move search and/or address. I also can't add things to navigation bar. I have tried a safe mode reset of the toolbars. After doing so, I can remove certain items from the Nav bar, but the above problem persists.
    After all changes, this is what I'm left with that I cannot alter at all: http://gyazo.com/b6d9206ceb1b079e19a0d7d77b37d869.png
    For what it's worth, my add-on bar is saving all changes.
    Thanks if you can provide any 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.

  • InDesign not saving certain files

    Any idea how to solve the following issues?
    I have 6 versions of a 32pp A5 InDesign document, each one a different language. Working on them all yesterday. 4 worked fine, and saved all the work done on them. 2 appeared to be working most of the day, and saved work I was doing in them until about 3pm. However, these both say that they were last saved 2 days previous. Since 3pm, neither of these documents has saved any work done, and I haven't been able to save or close the documents, with or without saving changes. To close InDesign I have to Force Quit. The InDesign Lock Files appear to remain open even though the documents are not open. I have tried saving the documents under a different name, but that doesn't work. The colour of my pasteboard also reset itself to the default colour.
    My colleague started getting these issues a couple of days before I did in a similar document she was working on. She did a lot of work on the document one day, and saved regularly. However the next day she went into the document and found that none of her work had been saved, and the document says it was last saved on 14th November! Because of this, she created a new document, and was copying everything from the problem document over into the new one. That appeared to be working initially, however some work she did in the new document wasn't saved, though other work that was done in it later was saved.

    They were originally created in QuarkXpress, but then converted to ID CS5.5.
    I seem to recall some bugs in the initial German release of CS5.5, but that may not be pertinent.
    I suspect this is just creeping corruption from multiple conversions. Best practice when converting from Quark or Pagemaker is to immediately export to .idml to clean up as much crud as possible, and it's safer to export legacy files to .idml as well, then open those for conversion in the new version. We see too many reports of bad things suddenly happening with converted legaicy .indd files.
    At this point there may not be much you can do if you are not able to save as (does CC still offer Export to .idml?). When you've given up all hope of saving the current state, if the files are still open, you can try a force quit and reopen ID. Sometimes autorecovery will work and you will have most of the current state, and the ability to save .idml might be restored. It's a gamble, so save for last.

  • Iphone 5 is not saving the passwords for wifi

    I have the problem every time i shut of the wifi or i'm out the the signal of the wifi connection.
    When i re-enter my house or when i turn on the wifi i need to make connection the manual way with the password.
    My iphone 4 S saved a the wifi password by it self but i can think of what im doing wrong with this 5
    please help

    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.

  • 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?

  • 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,
