Remember My Password

Hi,
I have the need to mimic the "Remember my password" feature in 5.0. I have seen some discussions about this which were very helpful. I am able to save user name and password encrypted as a cookie in my browser. I am also able to get it. I also am destroying it on logout. My only problem is that I cannot find where it should pick it up and automatically log the user in if there is a value present. I was assuming it would be in the DefaultLoginControl, but cannot find where it is happening. Any help would be greatly appreciated.Thanks,
John

Vanita - Bernard is correct that cookies are the way in which the portal handles the Remember My Password functionality. If the user checks the box, the portal writes a persistent cookie to the client with a login token - the encrypted password is not part of this token. (We actually had to modify the code so that we could include the encrypted password since the Exchange 2K portlets needed the user's password in order to function the way we needed them to.)
There's also a configuration setting that determines how often the Keep Me Logged In token is reset. I think the default is like 1 week - it is in the documentation somewhere. Other than the interval at which the portal configuration resets the token, the token cookie is there until the second the user clicks Logoff. That terminates everything and the portal starts fresh again.
Are you implementing any kind of SSO or do you have any customizations to the Login AS at all that might be affecting the out-of-the-box functionality? If not, it seems like it has to be the cookies.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
If you are saying you can't turn off find my phone because it is still using an old ID, you need to change your ID back to the old address at My Apple ID turn off find my phone then change your ID back at my Apple ID.

I bought an iPhone 4 from a youngster who had put his own Apple ID on it but could not remember the password. I backed it up yesterday and restored to my new iPhone and it copied the Apple ID across too. Now I have 2 phones with it on. Anything I do?

that must be really annoying !!
so this is what you call
FIND MY IPHONE ACTIVATION LOCK Find My iPhone Activation Lock - Apple Support
when you start using iCloud on any iOS device and enable find my iPhone, this prevents a new user from using it, and also prevents anyone from using the phone
as it is locked to previous owners account ,this is also the case if when a phone is lost or stolen.
the only way around this is to have the previous owner reset their apple id by going to @ applied.apple.com
if they are unable to do this, then the only other way around this is to have the previous owner get a copy of their original receipt and call apple support who can then lift this lock if they get a copy of the receipt
unfortunately there is no quick fix -> the below link explains what you should do before you sell or give away an iPhone

I get the firefox pop up "do you want to remember this password", but it does not save it. There is no "yes" option on the pop up. How can I get Firefox to save my passwords?

I want Firefox to save my passwords as it has in the past, but now it is not doing so. I am using version 6.0.2, I see the pop up asking to remember the password, but firefox does not save the passwords. What can I do to correct this so FF starts saving my passwords?

Firefox 4 and later versions place a key icon on the location bar that allows to (re)open the dialog to save the password at any time. 
That pop-up dialog has a button labeled with "Remember Password". 
If you click the arrow next to that button then you see the other choices ("Never Remember Password for this site", "Not Now").

How can I stop Firefox from remembering a password for a site, so anyone on a shared computer can't use it?

Someone who used our home computer must have clicked "Do you want Firefox to remember this password?" when using one of my shopping sites. So now when I try to sign in to that site, the password and email are already filled in, and I just have to click. Anybody can do that and I want to stop it. Tried changing the password, but it was no good.

I am trying to get Java to work on my Firefox browser. I have followed all the suggestions on the Java website and also all that I can find on the Mozilla support.
Can anyone please help me as this is important to my work.
When I do a check on the java website it says I need a plugin; but when I try to check which plugin, there is no plug in that is available. I have checked my plug in manager and all my plugins are up to date.
Please help. (I have downloaded the latest java - java SE7 update 25)

The apple Id on my iPad was signed out. We don't remember the password. The sign in box just keeps popping up over and over even if you hit cancel. Now we can't use the iPad at all. Can anyone help?

the Apple id on my iPad was signed out. we don't remeber the password. I was going to create a new Id for it but the sign in box won't go away. Even if you hit cancel it immediately pops back up. You can't do anything in the iPad because the box won't go away.

If you can't remember its password then you should be able to get it reset (either via email or by answering its security questions) via http://iforgot.apple.com
If you can't get it reset via that page then contact Support in your country, after confirming your id and that it's your account they should be able to reset it : Contact Apple for help with Apple ID account security - Apple Support
If your country isn't on that page then try this form and explain and see what they reply with : https://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html

Welcome to the Apple community.
This feature has been introduced to make stolen phones useless to those that have stolen them.
However it can also arise when the user has changed their Apple ID details with Apple and not made the same changes to their iCloud account/Find My Phone on their device before upgrading to iOS 7, or if you restore from a previous back up made before you changed your details.
The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID, verify the changes, enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone".
You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, verify it once again, delete the iCloud account from your device and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.

Safari and Mail no longer remember my passwords

Safari and Mail no longer remember my passwords. Worked yesterday. Recently updated to 10.5.1 and added Text Expander and PTHPasteboard. Turned them both off. Rebooted. Running 10.5.1 on Intel Pro Mac. Ran First Aid on Keychain Access and says its ok. The login Keychain is unlocked.

There is a difference between remembering the name and password in the Password Manager and a "remember me" check box on a web page. 
The latter usually involves the creation of a special "remember me" cookie that is stored on your computer and that is send to the server. 
If that "remember me" cookie is removed or gets corrupted or is not send to the server then the server won't remember you and you need to sign in once again.

Open Applications and the the Utility folder and then Keychain Access app. In there you will find all the usernames and password that have been saved. For some reason it is not saving those passwords and or not using the ones that have been saved.
This is fairly common with Mac OS X as it happens for no apparent reason just all of a sudden.

I have two apple id's how do I delete the one that I can't remember the password to?

I have 2 apple id's - when I try to update my apps the old apple id comes up. Essentially, I changed internet carriers so the old one is cox.net and the active one is verizon.net.
How do I erase the cox.net one? I cannot for the life of me remember the password.

Apps/purchases will ALWAYS be tied to the account from which they were purchases and will always need to be updated using that account.

Welcome to the Apple community.
If you are unable to remember your password, security questions, don’t have access to your rescue address or are unable to reset your password for whatever reason, your only option is to contact AppleCare(or Apple ID Support), upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.

I can't remember the password I used to set up icloud nor the email I used to set it up with. I have my apple ID and email for that account.

I recently had to do a factory restore on my iphone 4s. Upon trying to set up my phone again I am being asked to sign into my icloud account. I can't remember the password or the email I used to set it up. I know my Apple ID, password and email for that account, but that doesn't allow me to get back into my phone. I can't reset the icloud password because I can't remember the email I used. Any ideas on what I can do please ?

I chose to have my backup encrypted but can no longer remember my password how do I reset the password function?

I have an iPhone 4S and decided one day to encrypt my backup function. Then after I started to receive information from my iPhone stating that it hasn't been updated in XX weeks, (actually now 23), I decided that maybe the problem was with the encryption. So I attempted to open up the backup using a password that I thought I had set up for it. But each time I tried this password and other variations of the password, I never was able to do so. I want to remove the encryption and have a straight forward backup if ever possible agian. I have tried everything I can think of to reset the password but without success. I would love it if someone could tell me a simple way of doing so, short of chanting mystical verses while swing a dead chicken over my head...(actually tried that too

If you're using iCloud via Wi-Fi or backing up to the computer it is automatically encrypted (but on iTunes you can choose to encrypt it or not) but anyways if deleting the backup does not work you and you cannot remember that password for anything else including you're apple ID (if you used it) you may have to restore it.
