Safari does not remember websites

When I go to a site (apple forums, Sprint, or whatever) I have to type my user name and password to log where FireFox auto remembered everything. This is a pain as there are times when I forget my password as in the case when I tried to access my Credit Card and had to use FF just to do that, because Safari forgets everything. Is there a way to get Safari to remember the information? Its much faster than FF and is not as bug and speed ridden on FaceBook as FF. Safari seems to work much faster and with far less crashes on most websites.

HI John,
You need to set your Safari Preferences.
From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari/Preferences - AutoFill
Make sure: User names and passwords is selected.
Now go to a a site and logon. After you type in your user name and password Safari will prompt you to Never for this Website Now Now or Yes. Click Yes. That will save that data to your Keychain Access application (Applications/Utilities).

  • Since upgrade to iOS4 Safari does not remember passwords

    Since I've updated my 3GS to iOS4 via ITunes, Mobile Safari keeps asking to save username and passwords, even if I've visited the site before and said "Yes" to save username and password, at the next visit, Safari doesn't remember and I have to enter the details again.
    I've already cleared Cache, History and Cookies, turned off and on the auto-fill option, but the problem persists.
    Anyone got an idea ?

    Apple seems to have completely missed browser user/password remember feature all over again. This had happened with iPhone 1.1.4 firmware as well. Hope they correct this issue with iOS 4.0.1 update. Apple discussion forum thread specifically mentions users with iPhone 3G and 3GS are facing this issue. Found this on http://iphoneindia.gyanin.com/2010/07/07/ios-4-0-bug-safari-does-not-remember-pa sswords/
    Last time a mod called Fix Safari Cookies via Cydia did the trick - Tired of having to enter your username and password everytime you visit your favourite site? With FixSafariCookie not anymore! This package / utility overwrites your cookies and changes the permissions that safari can actually write and save your cookies.

  • Safari does not remember passwords correctly

    Hi all!
    I use Safari with several online browser games, where I have to login with user name and password. However, Safari does not complete these forms after loading the page, instead it only completes everything when I have entered the first one or two letters of the user name.
    I have read that this might be the case when there are multiple user accounts for one page or domain, but this is the only account for this specific page.
    The pages uses some kind of transparent forwarding, so the user name/password information is transmitted to different subdomains, something like a load balancer, I guess (wod1.world-of-dungeons.net, wod2.world-of-dungeons.net,... you get the idea).
    Auto-fill is enabled, the passwords are correctly stored in the keychain and everything works as normal once I start typing the user name.
    Any ideas on what could cause this?
    The page in question is (for example) http://world-of-dungeons.net/
    I use Safari 3.1.1 on OSX 10.5.2 on a MacBook, if that helps.
    Thanks,
    Helge.

    Welcome to the Forums!
    I don't usually use the AutoFill function, but as I understand it, AutoFill does not automatically populate the form fields when the page loads. You either need to start typing in a field, select Edit menu > AutoFill form (or use the Command-Shift-A keyboard shortcut), or add an AutoFill button to your toolbar (View menu > Customize Toolbar and drag it there) then click it after the page loads.
    Hope this helps...

  • Since upgrade to iOS 4 Safari does not remember Wi-Fi auto-login passwords

    On the university campus where I work the public WiFi wireless network requires you to enter your university username and password. A login screen pops up in a special Safari window and asks for this information shortly after the iPhone connects to the access point and the DHCP server gives it an IP address.
    After entering the info the first time Safari asks if I want it to remember the information. In iPhone OS 3.1.3, when I tapped Yes, it would actually remember the information and autofill it on subsequent visits. In iOS 4 it asks, and I say Yes, but it never remembers or autofills.
    I suspect this is just a regression defect that we can't do anything about (other than complain, which I've done and I encourage others to do too if it's not just me), but I might as well ask, has anyone else noticed this, and is there a fix or workaround?
    Complain here: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html

    It's not just you - I've got exactly the same problem. I use a university network, and I've always needed to log in every day, but now (since iOS4) my iPhone doesn't remember the ID and password. Every time I re-type the data, it asks me "Do you want to remember this?", and I say yes, and I've been doing that every day... and it still refuses to remember.
    Very annoying.

  • Safari does not remember web pages.

    Lets use the website " apple.com " as an example. When you start to type the website in the address bar, with each letter you type, normally, safari would have a drop down box showing past websites visited. however, in my case, safari doesnt remember many/most sites. My question is; how do i make it so it remembers even those sites i havent visted in a long while. thanks for any help!
    -Brad-

    Bradley,
    In order to come up with a list of options when you begin to type a URL into the address bar, Safari collates entries from your browser history as well as your bookmarks. The reason why you're not seeing the sites you visited a long time ago, is because Safari's history is set to retain only a limited number of days' worth of sites by default.
    This article highlights one method of extending Safari's history to stretch back further. Of particular interest are the terminal commands listed in the comments section:
    defaults write com.apple.Safari WebKitHistoryItemLimit 9999
    defaults write com.apple.Safari WebKitHistoryAgeInDaysLimit 365

  • Safari does not safe COOKIES!!! FIX IT, IM TIRED OF TYPING MY 16 numbers banking card.

    Safari does not remember cookies, any suggestions?

    Like Philly said, cookies has NOTHING to do with this.  Even my computer doesn't remember my bank card.  I would never want anything to remember my credit card numbers.  Way too dangerous.

  • Safari 5.1 does not 'remember me'

    On a certain website I use a lot, Safari 5.1  does not 'remember me' - i.e. I have to log in to the site every time I go there, whereas I was 'remembered' on previous Safari versions. This seems to be a Safari 5.1 issue; Firefox still remembers me on that website.

    From your Safari menu bar click Safari / Preferences then select the Autofill tab.
    Make sure User names and passwords is selected.
    Now click the Edit button. Delete the url for the site you're having problems accessing, click Done.
    Now open Keychain Access  /Applications/Utilities
    Select Passwords on the left.
    Delete the keychain for the site you have problems logging into.
    You can use the search field top right corner of the KA window to locate keychains.
    Quit then relaunch Safari.
    Login to the site you deleted the keychain for.
    Enter your user name and password.
    You should be prompted to save that data to a new keychain, click Yes when prompted.
    If you still have problems go back to Safari / Preferences then select the Privacy tab.
    Click Details
    Delete the url for the site, click Done. Quit then relaunch Safari.
    Try again.

  • Safari does not allow to install USB drivers downloaded from certain websites

    Can you download the driver properly or the error happens while the driver is being downloaded? As you are saying that you can't install the driver, check this website > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5290

  • Firefox does not remember my history or bookmarks or anything after i go to a new page or website

    When I go to a new page (for example from Google.com to Youtube.com or with any other website), Firefox does not remember the history or bookmarks or any other information that I just used. I cannot go back to the page i was at before because it won't remember my history. I tried all the steps that it told me to do when i clicked on more info in the red bar that said "Firefox will not remember your history or bookmarks because it is in use by another application" but it sill didn't work.

    Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode? <br />

  • Firefox 7.0.1 does not remember/fill in username and password in Mac version although on Windows it works, so it's not the website preventing password being saved. what is up and how can this be fixed ?

    There are several sites where I now have to type in my username and password each time I return, such as turnitin.com. (I'm a teacher and use this for grading). Friefox used to be able to remember this for that site and it still works at my office where I have a windows machine. Not working on my Mac OS 10.6.8 and it is really annoying to have to retype every single time; it's not a financial site or anything so why can't the Firefox browser remember and re enter my info?
    And no, turnitin does not currently support Firefox 7 but it is only up to firefox 4 and up until now firefox at least worked to remember passwords.
    I looked at http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Username%20and%20password%20not%20remembered and I have checked all the recommended browser settings and am not set to private browsing; the sites where this happens are not set in exceptions to remembering, and they are not set to be cleared automatically
    So, what's up and why doesn't Firefox remember passwords and usernames any longer?

    Now up to Firefox 8 and the problem persists. Cannot go to the www.turnitin.com page and login as I used to do -- Firefox does not remember my username or password.
    Still works on Windows, and with other browsers... It would be great if a fix is available.

  • After mistakenly clicking a link, my safari does not open automatically and unexpected webs open up.

    I am using MacBook Air with Yosemite OS. After mistakenly clicking a link, my safari does not open automatically and unexpected webs open up. Could you please give me suggestions on how to fix this problem? Thank you

    That's a bit vague, but you may have installed the "VSearch" trojan. Remove it as follows.
    Malware is always changing to get around the defenses against it. These instructions are valid as of now, as far as I know. They won't necessarily be valid in the future. Anyone finding this comment a few days or more after it was posted should look for more recent discussions or start a new one.
    Back up all data before proceeding.
    Step 1
    From the Safari menu bar, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
    Uninstall any extensions you don't know you need, including any that have the word "Spigot," "Trovi," or "Conduit" in the description. If in doubt, uninstall all extensions. Do the equivalent for the Firefox and Chrome browsers, if you use either of those.
    Reset the home page and default search engine in all the browsers, if it was changed.
    Step 2
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    /Library/LaunchAgents/com.vsearch.agent.plist
    Right-click or control-click the line and select
              Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
    from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item named "com.vsearch.agent.plist" selected. Drag the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password.
    Repeat with each of these lines:
    /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.daemon.plist
    /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.helper.plist
    Restart the computer and empty the Trash. Then delete the following items in the same way:
    /Library/Application Support/VSearch
    /System/Library/Frameworks/VSearch.framework
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ConduitNPAPIPlugin.plugin
    Some of these items may be absent, in which case you'll get a message that the file can't be found. Skip that item and go on to the next one.
    The problem may have started when you downloaded and ran an application called "MPlayerX." That's the name of a legitimate free movie player, but the name is also used fraudulently to distribute VSearch. If there is an item with that name in the Applications folder, delete it, and if you wish, replace it with the genuine article from mplayerx.org.
    This trojan is often found on illegal websites that traffic in pirated content such as movies. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow. Never install any software that you downloaded from a bittorrent, or that was downloaded by someone else from an unknown source.
    In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere  should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
    Then, still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
              Install system data files and security updates
    if it's not already checked.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination  command-C. In the Finder, select
              Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

  • Firefox does not remember our usernames for hotmail anymore

    Since our update to Firefox 4.0, Firefox does not remember our usernames for Hotmail anymore. Only the last used username is remembered.
    We don't have problems with other websites regarding this.
    So why is it only with Hotmail?
    I cleared all cookies, but no change....
    Can you help us out?

    You can't save the name and password from Hotmail via the Password Manager in current Firefox versions. Hotmail (live.com) uses JavaScript to create the login form.<br />
    You should be able to use save form data to save user names and other form data like I posted above.
    Don't you get a drop down list that shows previously entered names?
    Make sure that you do not run Firefox in permanent Private Browsing mode.

  • Setting geo.enabled to false does not stop websites from knowing location. Seems to be related to my proxy setting.....Any ideas on how to completely disable this?

    Setting geo.enabled to false does not stop websites from knowing location. It changes based off of what proxy I am using. Is there a way to completely disable this?

    I use Comcast in the Chicago area market and have a problem with the "Opt Out" stopping about once a year or so. It appears as being enabled at the Comcast Opt Out page, but the unresolved addresses are still going to the DNS "domain helper" service.
    What works for me is to turn off the opt out preference, log off from that Comcast account, and close Firefox. When I restart Firefox, log in to Comcast, and then set the pref to "opt out" again - it works as intended and doesn't cause me a problem until it happens like 10 to 12 months later.
    As far as why it seems to affect browsers in a different way, I have no idea. I do have Safari, Opera, and IE 8 installed, in addition to multiple versions of Firefox, but I don't use those other browsers enough to have seen a difference. I am usually opening pages from within Firefox in those other browsers to view the difference, ''or to print something that Firefox screws up in the Print Preview''.
