Remembering passwords for HTTP 403 pages in Safari

Hi,
I've turned on autofill for names and passwords in settings; however, it only appears to save passwords that are entered in forms (i.e. the web designers used the form html element) - it does not appear to remember passwords when an HTTP 403 is given (i.e. Safari shows a native popup asking for a username and password). Is there any way to make Safari do this on the iPad?

I have the same issue on an iPad I purchased 2 days ago. I didn't realize it was an HTTP 403 issue. I'm disappointed no one has answered this, I'll start a new topic.

Babysitter said don't ever remember passwords for websites we often use

My wife and I have for 3 1/2 years enjoyed sharing one user admin account on iMac without problem. This week the babysitter, before I got to create a user account for her, used our account to access her own hotmail and facebook pages as well as some others. the only thing is that she said don't ever remember passwords for the sites.
It's not a major issue, but is there some way to reset the password permissions in Safari? Do I just delete the cookies or do I have to somehow restore/reset Safari?
Any help on this issue would be good. Thanks for your time.
P.s - We have now created an account for guest users, including the babysitter.

HI and Welcome to Apple Discussions...
*"the only thing is that she said don't ever remember passwords for the sites."*
It would be much easier to go to both MSN/Hotmail and Facebook sites. Where you sign in and type in a username, there should be a link to click that says: Forgot your password?
If for some reason you can't do it that way, open the Keychain Access application.
(Application/Utilities).
Under Keychains on the left, select "login". Under category select Passwords.
Select: login Facebook
At the bottom of the window click the i
(Just to the right of the + ) Select the Attributes tab. Select where you see; Show password.

I tell firefox not to remember passwords for certain sites, and it forgets when I exit

I'm running 3.6.9 on Win7. I have chosen the setting of remembering passwords for websites. However, for certain sites I choose "never to remember passwords" and this used to work fine in earlier versions. Now, whenever I exit firefox these sites for which I do NOT want to remember passwords are forgotten about, and every time I visit them after a restart I have to instruct firefox that I don't want to remember passwords there, etc. It's getting awfully tedious. What changed? How do I ensure that my password "exceptions" are remembered between sessions?

Make sure that you do not use [[Clear Recent History]] to clear the "Site Preferences"
Clearing "Site Preferences" in "Clear Recent History" will remove exceptions that are stored in content-prefs.sqlite (site specific settings for zoom) and permissions.sqlite (exceptions for images, cookies, pop-ups, software; Tools > Page Info > Permissions) in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder].
The password exceptions (Tools > Options > Security: Passwords: Show Passwords) are also removed from signons.sqlite.

How do I set the newest version of Firefox to remember passwords for websites ?

Well, ... let me restate that. I think my current version DID remember passwords for me but now it doesn't . I access the options and go to privacy and security but it doesn't highlight to allow me to click on " remember passwords........................ " How can I fix this ?

Make sure that you do not run Firefox in (permanent) Private Browsing mode.
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Private+Browsing
*Tools > Options > Privacy: Use custom settings for history
*Deselect: [ ] "Always use private browsing mode"
You can also check that you aren't starting Firefox with a -private command line switch.
*https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Command_Line_Options
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do not click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just canceling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.
 Cheers, Tom

Firefox is not remembering passwords for sites that i visit regularly. Ihave checked the box "remember passwords for sites" in the security tab under tools, but the passwords are not being remembered when I return to the sites.

Websites remembering you and automatically log you in is stored in a cookie.
* Create an allow cookie exception (Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: Exceptions) to keep such a cookie, especially for secure websites and if cookies expire when Firefox is closed.
Make sure that you do not run Firefox in Private Browsing mode.
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Private+Browsing
* In [[Private Browsing]] mode all cookies are session cookies that expire if that session is ended, so websites won't remember you.
* Do not use [[Clear Recent History]] to clear the "Cookies" and the "Site Preferences"
Clearing "Site Preferences" clears all exceptions for cookies, images, pop-up windows, software installation, and passwords.

I can't turn off "Remember passwords for sites." It keeps coming back on.

No matter how many times I uncheck "Remember passwords for sites" it keeps coming back on.

This issue can be caused by an extension.
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
In Firefox 4 you can use one of these to start in [[Safe mode]]:
* Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
* Hold down the Shift key while double clicking the Firefox desktop shortcut (Windows)

ITunes 10.6 won't remember passwords for podcasts

Ever since I upgraded to 10.6, iTunes won't remember passwords for any premium podcasts, even when I check the "remember credentials" box. Every time I start iTunes, on the first podcast list refresh, I have to enter all the usernames and passwords again. Any ideas?

The "remember passwords for sites" box is graytone and I cannot click on it. How can I save password?

Firefox... Using Windows 7 -- Tools --> Options --> Security Cannot click on "Remember Passwords for Sites", only on create Master Password. What might be wrong? Thank you

hello dhannay, do you use a norton security product by any chance? it might interfere with the firefox password management...
http://community.norton.com/t5/Norton-Toolbar-Norton-Identity/NIS-2013-Norton-Toolbar-Unselects-Firefox-Remember-Passwords/td-p/836598
otherwise you could try to reset firefox and see if this makes a difference (this will keep your bookmarks and passwords): [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]]

Set Firefox not to remember passwords.
* Tools > Options > Security: Passwords: [] "Remember passwords for sites"
If you've already saved passwords then remove saved Password(s) here:
* Tools > Options > Security: Passwords: "Saved Passwords" (Show Passwords)

How do I save the password for a site for which I have chosen the "never remember password for this site" option?

The first time you enter a password for a site a box pops up under the address bar that has a picture of a key and then the question: "Remember this password?". In the drop box, I chose the option "Never Remember Password for This Site". I can't figure out how to change it so that the password IS remembered.

It sounds like the printer is still trying to retain the old network information.
Try a Hard Reset:
* Unplug printer while unit is turned on
* Unplug other end of power cord from the direct wall outlet
* Wait 30 seconds
* Plug unit back up for power
Reset Network information to Default:
* Press the Wrench/Setup menu button in the top right of the touch display of the printer
* Select the Wireless menu option
* Scroll down to Restore Network Defaults
After restoring the defaults, then try running the Wireless Setup Wizard. Let me know if the unit still does not retain the information.

Why is my saved Facebook password not used when both "Permanent Private Browsing" and "Remember Passwords for Sites" are enabled?

After entering and saving my Facebook user name and password, the data is not used for subsequent entries into the application after the browser is reset. "Remember Passwords for Sites" is checked, but the data is only used if I do NOT have "Permanent Private Browsing enabled. Why does "Permanent Private Browsing" effect passwords? (Note: Facebook is NOT in the "Passwords / Exceptions..." list.)

I agree that password protection may be considered important by some for Private Browsing, however if that is the intention, then it would be one of the delineated items such as...remember browser history, remember download history, etc. that are check-listed under that function. Also, having a separate Passwords option implies that their functions are mutually exclusive and therefore should function independent of one another.
Thanks for your response.

How set UserName and Password for HTTP Basic Authentication for a servlet

Hi..
How set UserName and Password for HTTP Basic Authentication for a servlet in JBoss server?
Using Tomcat i can do it .(By setting roles in web.xml, and user credintails in tomcat-user.xml).
But i dont know how do it in JBOSS..
I am using Netbeans and Eclipse IDEs.. Can we do it by using them also!?
Thank u

Hi Raj,
You can do this by creating a Login screen for the users and check the authentication of each user in PAI i.e. PROCESS AFTER INPUT.
Store the user information in a database table and check the username and password when the user enters it.
You can display password as *** also. For this double click on input box designed for password and goto Display tab. Select Invisible in the list and check it.
CASE sy-ucomm.
 WHEN 'BACK'.
 LEAVE PROGRAM.
 WHEN <fcode for submit>.
 SELECT SINGLE uname pwd
 FROM <DB table>
 INTO (user, pass)
 WHERE username = user AND
 password = passwd.
 IF sy-subrc = 0.
<Go to next screen for further processing>
 ELSE.
<Display Error message and exit>
 ENDIF.
ENDCASE.
Regards,
Amit

I can't get rid of the 'Remember password for..' box (top left)

When I login to a website (2 sites so far, including this one) and the Remember password box pops up, I can't get rid of it. I click the x it doesn't close..I click 'not now'..'never remember password for this site'..nothing..it wont disappear..If I minimize the window it can disappear until I move the mouse towards the top of the window and it comes back..any ideas?..bug maybe?

Sorry, the place I need to delete my account is in system. I no longer have an account with Facebook, my 14 days are gone. Yet I can not delete a Facebook address from my account. Will let me remove my real email, but not facebooks.

How do you get Firefox to remember the response sent to remember password for a site and then not ask the same question over and over?

How do you get Firefox to remember the response sent to remember password for a web site and not ask over and over? The desktop version has a dialog box that you can check that says "Don't ask me this again". The mobile version doesn't. A real pain!
Thankx

You can switch off or uncheck the remember password in your settings :-)
