Password field focus on MacBook

Okay, last item: when my notebook goes to sleep, and I wake it back up and begin typing my password, often times the password field will lose focus! This is extremely irritating, as what should be a 1-2 second process becomes much longer as I have to refocus the field and often start typing my password over from the beginning.
I'm not 100% sure, but I think the issue happens less frequently if I type slower. But if this is accurate, why should the field lose focus if I type at my normal speed in the first place? If it's not accurate, I'd love to know what's going on, and put a stop to it. Grr!
Anyone else get this? Anyone know an explanation or remedy?

Following up after some time away from this topic.
I'm still having this issue. If anyone else is, please share your experience!

I open facebook login page on my android phone, enter email Id and when i enter a character in the password field. Few characters get entered automatically.

When i enter something in the email id field, and then shift the focus to password field and press any character. Some characters get being displayed automatically in password field( equal to the no. of characters entered in the email id field) . For example, i have entered below id in the email id field:
Username: [email protected]
And moved the focus to the password field and press h. Following will be displayed in the password field. Few characters(equal to the no. of characters in the username field .i.e. 9 in this case) are shown before 'h'.
Password: .........h

Many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache. In order to try to fix these problems, the first step is to clear both cookies and the cache.
The Firefox cache temporarily stores images, scripts, and other parts of websites while you are browsing. 
Note: ''This will temporarily log you out of all sites you're logged in to.''
To clear cache and cookies, do the following:
#Tap the menu icon located at the top right corner. This is the icon with 3 bars. On older Android devices you'll have to press the hardware menu key and then tap More.
#Tap '''Settings'''.
#After that, you will be taken to the settings screen. In the settings screen, look under the section '''''Privacy & Security''''' and select '''Clear private data'''.
#You will then be taken to a list of what can be cleared. Select the following 2 for deletion:

Safari changes my keyboard layout when on password field

Hi,
after upgrade to Safari 5, I got really strange problem.
I have two keyboard layout configured, U.S., which I use regulary, and Czech, to which I switch on rare occasions when I need to write something in my native language. I have configured keyboard shortcut Shift-Cmd-Space for switching between those layouts.
Now, the problem is that whenever I enter a password field on a web page form in Safari, it immediately switches to the Czech layout and disables the U.S. one, so I even can not switch back! The keyboard shortcut does not work and the "U.S." item in the keyboard indicator menu is grey.
This is extremely annoying. Does anyone have an idea what is causing it and how can I fix it?
Also, I think (but I'm not sure) that I have sometimes seen this before. But now (probably after Safari 5 installation) it happens on all the passwords fields I tried (even on pages I never visited before).
regards,
Bob
mid-2008 15" MacBook Pro, Snow Leopard, Safari 5, all available updates. In the Language & Text section of the preferences, I have following settings:
Language: First English, then Czech, then the rest.
Formats: Region: Custom (mostly czech with some tweaks)
Input Sources: Keyboard & Character Viewer checked, Czech-QWERTY checked, English checked. Selected "Use the same one in all documents", checked Show input menu in menu bar.

Problem solved! I have installed Keywurl some time ago (I really missed Firefox's bookmark keywords). After I upgraded to Safari 5, Keywurl said "Ooops, I'm not tested with Safari 5, disabling myself", so I did not suspected it. But out of deseperation, I tried to remove the plugin completely from the disk. And it worked! No more problems with keyboard layout in password field. Strange, but at least it works.

No password field

Hi I have a windows 8.1 pro computer joined on a domain with all that latest patches. Today I ran the update to windows 10 directly from windows updates (not from a ISO image). Everything ran well for the install and the computer restarted. However
when the computer restarts I see my network user, local user and Other. I can select any one them and they enlarge into the middle of the screen, however there is no password field. I have tried Ctrl Alt Del and just typing, neither one of them
does a thing. My mouse move no problem and I can tab using the keyboard and watch the focus move with each tab press.
As it stands a have a dead computer, can anyone please advise!

Assuming you have build 10074 installed.
I installed 10074 yesterday, April 29th, and I don't have the problem you mentioned.
I used the ISO to install :
Download the ISO > right click at the ISO file > click Mount > click Setup.exe.
OR, if you care to try:
Download the ISO > burn it to a bootable DVD or USB with at leas 4 GB > use the bootable media to do a clean install.

Password field missing

i see everything but the space in wich you write the passaword.
i can write it without seeing it neither its field.

Hi Vorstellung,
If you are having issues with your password and/or the password field not showing up on the Login screen, you may want to try booting into Safe Boot mode and seeing if the issue persists:

Switch from List of user to username and password fields?

I have my Login Window to display a List of Users by default.
Is there is shortcut key that switches to username & password fields so one can type in the username as well as the password?
I googled it and I found something like "hold opt+return and click on any username", does not work though...
I know that I can change it in System Pref. but it would be handy to know the shortcut key as well.
Thanks.

The "Option"-"Enter" trick should still work from the keyboard - use the arrow keys or type the first few letters of a listed name to highlight a username, then press "Option-Return":
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25686
As I recall, to do the same thing with keyboard + mouse, the modifiers to be used when clicking did change between 10.3 and 10.4 so some of what you find on the web may be out of date.

Password Field not mapped between Request and Provisioning Form

Hi to all. I'm working with OIM 11g. I've faced a strange issue. I'm not sure I'm working properly, so let me explain you my case. In my installation I've got the SSH connector, which is correctly connected with the physical resources. I've loaded the resource dataset ProvisionResourceSSH User bundled with the connector. Consider now that the user "goofy", with "ALL USERS" role, tries to make a request Provision Resource SSH User (Request Based provisioning). He fills in all the field in the appropriate manner, but when OIM triggers "Create User" provisioning task, after the required approval process, the password field is always blank (although goofy filled it in!!!).
I've thought: "ok, it seems a role trouble". And effectively, if goofy has got also the role "REQUEST ADMINISTRATORS", the provisioning form shows the password field correctly valued (as goofy stated in his request).
Note that all the fields are correctly mapped between request dataset and the provisioning form (I'm using the original dataset and the original provisioning form installed by the connector). So all other fields filled by goofy on the request form (request based provisioning) are correctly passed to the provisioning form. All the fields, except for the password.
Am I wrong in something? How Could I make possible to pass the data filled on the request for the password field to the provisioning form even if the requester has not the role "REQUEST ADMINISTRATORS"?
Thank you in advance for the help.

This sure seems goofy! ;-) ... can you try making the ALL Users have all the permissions on the Resource Object and the Process Form and test it out? Also try from the backend at the database and see if the table has NULL for the password field? ... What's the type of password field in the dataset and the process form? Encrypted/Secret at both ends or mis match? Try making them plain text both the places as well.

How can I prevent Safari/iCloud Keychain from saving data in our password field?

We have a web-based management system where administrators can set and update passwords for individual users. While I love iCloud keychain personally, the problem we are finding is that if the user, once prompted by Safari to Save the password in iCloud Keychain for Autofill, actually clicks 'Save Password', then our page wants to autofill that same password for any selected user or newly added user (and since we don't allow duplicates, constant errors result).
So the basic question: is there a way in HTML or Javascript to set form fields - or an entire form or div - to be ignored by iCloud Keychain, even if they are username or password fields.
We know we could just tell all our Safari users to disable in preferences with a pop-up banner, but that would be unfortunate (and IE-like)
(If this is the wrong place to find this type of info, any clue appreciated. Naturally we've searched a bunch already)

Can I remove my iCloud Keychain from Apple's servers?
Yes. Follow these steps, starting on any one of your iOS devices or Macs that is using iCloud Keychain:
Devices using iOS 7.0.3 or later:
Go to Settings > iCloud > Account > Keychain and turn off “Approve with Security Code”.
Go to each of your other devices that is using iCloud Keychain and turn iCloud Keychain off.
Macs using OS X Mavericks v10.9 or later:
Choose Apple () menu > System Preferences. Click iCloud, then click Account details.
Deselect “Allow approving using security code”.
Go to each of your other devices that is using iCloud Keychain and turn iCloud Keychain off.
After you complete these steps, your keychain data will remain locally on your devices, but changes to your keychain information will not push to your other devices or the cloud unless you turn iCloud Keychain back on. If you want keychain data to push to all of your devices, but not to the cloud, turn on iCloud Keychain on each device as described earlier in this document, but skip the step to create an iCloud Security Code.

Make a report column display as an editable password field.

Hi Guys,
- Apex 3.2
- Report region, one of the columns represents a password.
- Made that column editable ==> display as text-item.
How can I make it display as a password field?
If I add:
type="password"to the element attributes (in column attributes), then it still displays as a text field. Show html source reveales it just adds a second type= attribute:
<input type="text" name="f05" size="15" maxlength="2000" value="test" type="password" id="f05_0001" />Which still makes it display as text, not password...
Appreciate any help on this.

There is no "out of the box" solution for this. You'd have to do a bit of work. However, before we go down that road, I'm curious as to why you'd want to put a password field in a tabular form.
It's a multi row insert/update/delete (tabular) form, and one of the columns represents a password.
One row represents "an application". The column represents the application password.
I actually have two of them (columns) + a process that verifies that the same value was entered in both.
I'm suprised that this is not out-of-the box possible...
It would be a very easy to just support the 'password field' type in the dropdown list that I have now used to make it a simple text field. No?
Appreciate any assistance...

[SOLVED:] SLIM not reading slim.conf (no password auto-focus)

Yesterday I began having issues with SLIM. I'm not sure if they're related, but while running Puppy , I inadvertently deleted the desktop icon for my Arch home directory on /dev/sda8. I rebooted Puppy and it reappeared. After running Puppy, something went wrong with my clocks (system and hardware) and the times were all wrong. I fixed that with NTPD. I currently dual boot Arch and Windows 7 from the hard drive, and occasionally from a USB stick, Puppy Linux. I'm using an ASUS K50IJ laptop. I run Xfce4. I do not have any disk encryption enabled.
When I boot up, the SLIM login appears as normal, but rather than password auto-focus, I'm prompted for a username. If I enter the username and hit return, I'm still staring at the username prompt. After three or four iterations of entering a username + enter, I finally get a password prompt and can log in.
I have tried:
1. Reinstalling archlinux-themes-slim
2. Uninstalling archlinux-themes-slim and slim, then reinstalling slim
3. Removing old Xfce4 & Xfwm sessions
4. Removing slim.conf and entering a pristine version.
5. Reviewing /var/log/slim.log files for oddities. I found one:
Before the trouble started, I the message in the log was:

Now I'm stumped.

I solved this - slim was not the last daemon I started in rc.conf. By moving it to the end, I get password auto-focus and everything works.
Now my rc.conf looks like
# DAEMONS
DAEMONS=(syslog-ng dbus acpid @network @wicd @openntpd @cupsd @crond slim)
I found this recommendation in the Display Manager wiki page while researching the problem:
Ensure you start the display manager last in the DAEMONS array, otherwise X will later allocate a tty device which was previously claimed by Getty (see /etc/inittab). Not placing the display manager at the end can cause X crashes, and is therefore unsupported.
I'd just been lucky before that there wasn't a conflict.
There is a "flicker" during login where I'm shown the XFCE splash, then the SLIM splash again, then the XFCE desktop. Not sure what's going on there, but it's no big deal.
Cheers,
Rob
