POP password not kept

I'm using Mail to get my Yahoo! mail via POP. I use this for several accounts and it works fine. With Yahoo! however, every so often I will get a window saying "
The POP server “pop.mail.yahoo.com” rejected the password for user “[my-user-name-here]”
Please re-enter your password, or cancel.
This happens even though I check the box telling it to "save this password in my keychain."
This will happen repeatedly (say, every 5 minutes for an hour) and then not happen for a day or two.
Anyone know a way to fix this?

same problem here. drives me friggin crazy.
especially the last day or two. it asks me to re-enter my password every time Mail.app
retrieves mail, which is set for EVERY 5 MINUTES!!! AHHHHH
i've found that if i just close that window, then manually click "Get Mail" it doesn't ask
for the password, it just works.
did this with Tiger on my MDD, and now my new MBP w/ Leopard

Long Passwords not kept in Wifi profile and no ability to paste

Our wifi network at work has a 64 character password of diverse characters/letters/numbers but the playbook won't keep it in the saved profile and to make it harder to enter you cannot "paste" it into the password field. What is up with that?

See [[Could not initialize the browser security component]]
Rename (or delete) secmod.db (secmod.db.old) in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder] in case there is a problem with the file.

How can I force Safari v.6.1 to Save passwords for sites that request passwords NOT BE Saved"?

Since the last OS X update when Safari was updated to version 6.1, I am having problems with passwords not being saved from specific sites that request that passwords "not be saved".
Example: Adobe.com
I did not have problem with Safari 5.1.
When I go to Safari Preferences and "click on box" "Allow Autofill even for websites that request passwords not be saved", a pop up box opens and refers me to "SECURITY & PRIVACY" indicating that a "SCREENLOCK" must be engged to allow for this action.
I have my firewall on.
I don't understand what they are requesring me to lock & how to do it.
Anyone who understands what I am being asked to do -or- how I can re-enable password saving, please email me.
Thanks,
<Email Edited by Host>

Actually, Linc's reply is EXACTLY the answer that is required.
If you go to the setting he mentions and enable the password after screen saver or sleep, then Safari 6.1 will allow you to save all the autofill login information you like, even the stuff for sites that request not to save them.

POP password and username issues

I've had an inconsistent issue with email.
Every once and a while I get a message, while trying to connect and get email, saying that the pop password and username are incorrect. Which they are not. And then my mail will either download right after that, or download a while later.
Has anyone experienced this?

Does this only happen when using Edge to download
mail? Or does it happen with both Edge and WiFi?
If only Edge, I would venture a guess that maybe the
edge network is cutting out and your
username/password gets a bit scrambled. Then later
the Edge network connection is fine and it can get
the mail.
sound like a reasonable explanation. (sort of, drag about getting things all scrambly)
It only happens when I'm using Edge.
If you read or hear anything else on it please post here.
Thanks for the feedback

Password not working, reset and not working again ...

Hi I have had nothing but problems today I think my account has been hacked. Couldn't log in to Skype on PC or iPad kept saying my password was incorrect, though same password I have always had. I changed my password by having Skype send me a new one to my email. I activated it and created new password and all good. IN the middle of a call it shut down suddenly and when I tried to log on again, it said it didn't recognise the password I only just created that had worked already. Kept trying and still nothing. So I went to create a THIRD password and now skype is saying my email address doesn't exist. I have had this account for years and they only just sent me a new password to that email address so it certainly does exist. Left for a few hours and now tried again and it says i have tried too many times today. I have actually tried to create new account to be able to use skype. Can anyone explain what is happening? I am currently scanning for viruses but i really want to be able to use my old account with all my contacts on it rather than start from scratch! My mother in law is having the same problem with her account so I wonder if it's a virus?? At the same time I have started receiving a bunch of emails from 'skype' in Chinese so I assume this is connected somehow? Please any ideas on how to fix this?!

Have received numerous of the following: also my account isn't working, passwords not working, can't access anything. I think it's been hacked. It is now not even recognising my email address. Please advise how to fix. Please note I did not follow any links in any of these emails that have been sent to me.

HT5361 Unable to send photos. Message...Username/password not combatible.

Unable to send photos. Message...username/password not combatable. I'm computer dense...what next?

Have a current backup before proceeding here. Time Machine or otherwise.
If no outbound messages are sent... There are two different server definitions and two different places where you need a user and a password, the first and most obvious setting within mail is for receiving mail; the POP or IMAP setting. Everybody gets that one. To get to the credentials and the password used to send mail messages (the one that folks don't find as easily), Mail > Preferences > Accounts > select the account > switch the Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) to "Edit SMTP Server List", then find the Yahoo SMTP server entry, then fix the password there.
Here's the Apple mail troubleshooting information.
If that fails, remove the entry and re-add it.
If smaller messages are sent correctly and larger messages are blocked, Yahoo may be restricting the size of the message(s) being sent. Try smaller messages as a test, or use a file sharing service to transfer the images, or maybe wait for the OS X Yosemite Mail Drop feature.
PS and FWIW, this message was originally posted in the OS X Server forum, and you're not running OS X Server here — OS X Server includes various network services, including a mail server — a mail server is what Yahoo is running here, but OS X Server allows folks to configure and run a mail server locally on a Mac Mini or some other Mac configured as a server. Your MacBook Air would then connect into that server, in addition to or in place of the Yahoo server. Like most other mail servers, the mail server within OS X Server can be configured to block larger messages, too.

I tried to sign up for a new free account, got message from you. Sent you em address ask what is wrong. Find my em was right. condused. Tried change my profile, but never had a profile, and at that it says to change my password, not want to change it.

Wow, at age 76 I'm suppose to remember all I saw before and give you more details?
I wanted to be able to join the support blog, to be able to ask a question. It all went from there. Somewhere along the line I saw sign up for a new free (support?) account. I did. created a cute name (Marycontrary), put in a password, not likely one to be used by someone else, my em address. Sent. Got a confirmation em from you. I clidked to confirm. I got back from you: It said something wrong (or something like that) I thought maybe I didn't type in the last part of my em address and sent a reply to you to that effect. See above for rest. Hope you can help. I can't stand it when companies want us to change our passwords. I like us to be able to keep our original password, I use different ones for different sites. The best sites give us a chance to retrieve our orignial password by setting up a chance to choosing a question of our choice and registering the answer, then when a problem they as the question and we give the answer and everything goes well. These change you password bits are very very hard on us older people, and there are more and more of us out here on the net now days. Thank you for any help you can give me.'''bold text'''

You are describing the way Skype accounts are set up since the beginning of Skype: No email verification is necessary. That's why we recommend new users to create their Skype accouns using Microsoft account instead which has all these security features.

HT202274 Password change old password not recognized after 10.9.5 upgrade

God bless you, peace.
macbook pro 2012 user password not recognized after 10.9.4 too 10.9.5 upgrade plus tech work at apple.
I want to change user password, it is allowing me to get into user account and admin account on computer but I recently changed it for the tech work to be done. I would like to put the password back now to old password or a new one but... The few days old new password pre update and pre tech work is not being accepted to allow me to change to another password.
recent update, after 10.9.4 to 10.9.5 update and apple tech work done.
1. Tech work replaced optical drive,
2. 10.9.4 to 10.9.5 upgrade left computer endlessly booting up, then got into finder window tried to read backup drive and screen went to black curser and could not backup information as techs decided may need to be done before I left it with them.
3. Also track pad was not (is not again) selecting text to drag unless real hard press and then only intermittently would select text or just drop the selection (not hold the selected text after a long scroll select, did work at first after tech work but back to not working). It is still not responding easily when pressed, but it is much better, as they did something with software they said. Today While typing this I am trying to select words misspelled and it does not select them unless I press not as hard it is becoming the same as before I see now, sometimes less pressure is needed but more than should be used.
I noticed today after tech work The Spell check is not responding with a two finger tap on the red underlined misspelled words without multiple try's with two finger tap. The curser moves around after selecting words also, or when selecting words so hard the curser moves to another place not on the desired words or check box. The curser arrow tip should select the word but it does not recognize unless I put the tail of the arrow onto the word then it recognizes the misspelled word for spell check on two finger gesture.
It looks like I need to take it back, I tried to call and check to confirm if the track pad intermittently and curser adjustment was serviced. In order to verify I had called three times to get that information to no avail. endless looped in the phone que, one would answer take info and then forward me to a endless loop dial ing phone that never was picked up, supposedly at the Bay street store tech section. Phone voice mail from apple support status on the repair, ...Juliano from Bay Street Apple repair store Emeryville, ca left a voice message... just generically said optical drive replacement is successfulI, I noticed right away three items were to be addressed but only the optical drive was mentioned, so I called three times to try and verify the other problems. One whole minute just to select this text and copy it to notes for a backup. It would not select at first, then after selected it would not copy it, then it would not paste to notes, it paste the last cut and paste I did 10 minutes ago.
I do not have a easy excellent wifi connection for my wifi only phone and would prefer email or chat for repair help. apple Repair No: R142180337

Try running the combo update. It fixes more files/data than the App Store upgrade.
10.9.2

Apple id password not accepted on icloud

why is my apple id password not accepted when I try to login to iCloud? The same password worked when I tried to login to support to post this question!

If Settings>iCloud is showing your old email address, go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https//appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

For the 1st time I am trying to send an iPhoto by email but get an error message "combinations of username and password not recognised" I use the same details to log on to my Sky Mail (yahoo mail ) account . Any ideas?

For the 1st time I am trying to send an iphoto by e-mail but get the error message " combination of username and password not recognised by the server" I use Sky Mail ( yahoo mail) and input the same username and password that I access Sky Mail - have retried many times. Predictably the Sky help desk have no idea. Can anyone help please?

I regret that you're having trouble setting up your email, corbad! You're on the right track with your incoming email address. You might also try incoming.verizon.net or incoming.yahoo.verizon.net as possible alternatives, and 995 as the port number. Please let me know how that goes!

I know my Apple Id (not .mac) and password but I can't logon to ichat. I keep getting a message of password not matched. Do I need to create a new account for Ichat?

I know my Apple Id (it isn't ".mac") and password but I can't log on to ichat. I keep getting a message of password not matched. I saw somewhere that my Apple id is the same as my ichat account. Do I need to create a new account for Ichat? I've already reset my Apple id password 3 times in the last 2 days. What am I doing wrong?

Hi,
At one time only Email IDs from Apple (when it was just @Mac.com) were referred to as "Apple IDs"
Other IDs such as to log in to Discussions were know as Discussion IDs
Things like the Online Store and iTunes and Apple realising that people would prefer one ID to have access to Everything tended to move things together.
There can be a variety of combos now
iChat Name
@mac.com before MobileMe
@mac.com post MobileMe
AIM Names
AIM names current
MobileMe (@Me.com)
Style
Email Address valid with the .Mac service prior MobileMe Note 1
Email style Name Valid with AIM
May or may not be an Email address
Can be AIM issued or third party Email address
Valid Email with MobileMe Service
Other Abilities
May also be Currently valid email linked to a MobileMe account
Maybe Valid Apple ID
Is a Valid AIM Screen Name
May Not be a Valid Apple ID (was an option choice at one stage)
Is a Valid AIM Screen Name
May not look like an Email (No @whatever.com) but may be linked to either an AOL email account or AIM one
Current Registration seems to be pushing Email registration (@AIM.com)or asking to use another you currently use.
Trial Accounts are limited to the Trial Period Only as Emails, Valid AIM Screen Names and Apple IDs.
Apple ID
Possibly (likely)
Possibly (depends when Registered)
More currently Yes.

SCCM OSD for Windows 8.1 - TPM Owner Password not found

Hello,
I have been actively using these forums and the TechNet Guidance for the MBAM 2.5 client deployment, however I am still seeing some issues and looking for appropriate steps to troubleshoot.
I have a MDT Integrated Task Sequence to deploy Windows 8.1 to various machines. The Windows 8.1 Image has been created via a MDT 2013 Build & Capture Task Sequence on a VM and then imported into SCCM 2012 R2. In the MDT Image creation I am disabling
TPM Auto Provisioning by adding the Registry Key as per link below.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/dn260276.aspx
The MDT Task Sequence has had the built-in Pre-Provision Bitlocker and Enable Bitlocker Steps disabled. I have included a step that runs the Clear-TPM powershell command before the Setup Windows and ConfigMgr and I have to confirm the TPM clearance at the
first reboot.
To begin the MBAM encryption I have scripts as supplied from the blog, firstly prepares the drive, reboots, installs MBAM 2.0 SP1, then encrypts.
http://blogs.technet.com/b/deploymentguys/archive/2012/02/20/using-mbam-to-start-bitlocker-encryption-in-a-task-sequence.aspx
The machine encrypts every time and the Recovery Key is escrowed, however I have not been able to get the TPM Owner Password
Any troubleshooting steps for the TPM Owner Password would be greatly appreciated
Regards
LeeB

My husband plugged my iPhone into his computer, created an account and now when I want to add apps it asks for his password not mine. How do I get my account back? Tried plugging it into his computer again. No prompt to change account back to mine.

Hi Trishw,
At the top of the iTunes Store window, you will see who is logged into iTunes. I'm guessing from your description, that it is your husband. If it is, click on the name to display the dropdown, log him out and sign yourself back in:\

Username and password not automatically filled in

The problem I have with Firefox is that when I log in to one of my email services (I use two different ones).
In the past when I opened the log-in page my login and password (saved in FF) were already filled in so I just had to click "log in" button - it still is that way on the other email service. I had it set up this way for years, since many FF versions back (I have automatic updates on in FF so it is always up to date). Recently I was changing my passwords and I got confused when updating saved password so I decided to delete saved passwords for one of the email services and just logged in typing the password in manually and clicked 'save password' when FF password manager asked me. From that point on when I open the log in page from my bookmarks, the details are not there anymore, so I have to click on 'username' field to get the autocomplete list, choose my login name (there is only one) and then the password gets filled in and I can log in, so it's not the issue of password not being saved or filled in for my login but the fact that these details are not filled in from the point I open the login page from bookmarks, like it used to be and like it still is with the other service (for which I didn't delete and re-save password).. Now this might not be a big deal you might think but it is really annoying that I have to do extra step just to log in to my email especially that I log in to it frequently during the day and that I like things to work the way they are supposed to.
I have tried removing cookies for that website, deleting and re-saving the bookmark (with fields already filled with details), deleting all saved password for that website and saving it again and nothing seemed to help.
I will appreciate any help if anyone has the solution. Please do not suggest alternatives like using add-ons or using email client etc.
Not sure links are allowed but this is the link to the screenshot showing and describing the problem:
http://screencast.com/t/TKWVVogzmqI
I'm on win 7 pro 64, latest Mozilla 29.0.1

OK. I tested it with the name and password in the bug report.
This looks like a problem with the submit URL.
The form uses a submit URL action="/login.html"
<pre><nowiki><form action="/login.html" method="post" name="login" id="loginForm"></nowiki></pre>
There runs a script that changes this to a secure version
<pre>loginForm = $('#loginForm').attr('action', 'https://profil.wp.pl/login.html'),
</pre>
That makes the Password Manager not working properly.
It should work if you open the login page via a secure connection https://profil.wp.pl/login.html
You can also use the Saved Password Editor extension to edit the form and modify the submit URL to use http://profil.wp.pl to make the Password Manager work.
