Safari dosen't ask for a password

Whenever i try to log into website's like these apple forums, facebook, or anything like that - Safari dosen't give me the option to save the password "never for this website", "not now", or "yes".
It always used to before i installed Leopard!
Any ideas, Thanks

You're welcome. Glad to help. Appears something odd in the Leopard installation corrupted some or all of the auto-fill password entries. Did you remove the entire list?

How to Get Safari to STOP asking for Password

Whenever I start up Safari for the first time, it annoyingly asks for a password, and I've dismissed this prompt without typing in any passwords, and I've been able to continue doing what I'm doing. But how do I get Safari to stop asking for a password? I've read similar posts but nothing has been asked in exactly this way, as far as I can tell. What I've done:
- Gone into Keychain Access and deleted the only Safari-related item I find there, called "Safari Forms Autofill." This works temporarily but the password prompt comes back again, and this item appears again in Keychain Access.
- Gone into Safari Prefs Autofill and made sure Passwords was unchecked; it was.
Any ideas?

Aha, I've answered my own question: You have to uncheck the "Other Forms" option in Safari Auto-Fill Prefs as well. Ho ho ho all.

I have set up a Netgear dual band modem which works well with the iPhone and an older MacBook, but with this brand new MacBook it asks for a password every time I reopen the computer and open safari. Is it Lion?

I have set up a Netgear dual band modem which works well with the iPhone and an older MacBook, but with this brand new MacBook it asks for a password every time I reopen the computer and open safari. As you can imagine this is very annoying. It says I am not connected to the internet and offers me a choice of nearby networks including mine and then asks for a password when I select it. Why does it do this with our new MacBooks (also with my son's brand new one) and not with the iPhone, iPad and older MacBook? They happily automatically connect to our network after entering the password just the once.

Sig, I appreciate you trying to be helpful. I have no idea what issues you were having or what issue exactly pgrounds has been having. Your assumption that everyone's set up is the same as yours is false however. There are many many documented WiFi issues that are a result of Lion installs. Many have been solved by 10.7.1 and 10.7.2. Others have been solved by a large variety of work arounds. Others have not had their issues solved yet.
I am one of those. I have an IT background, and I spent the better of five hours digging up workarounds and attempting all of them. For the benefit oh anyone who is having similar issues, I have posted links to all of those workarounds here. None of them worked in my case, but hopefully they will help pgrounds or others.
So, once again, if you have a new idea, I'd love to here it. But if it has already been posted in one of these links, it's not helpful, let it go.

Skype, Safari and Adium continue to ask for a password

Hi.
I have a little problem probably with my Keychain application. At the first launch of some applications (such Skype, Safari and Adium-msn client-) a window appears asking for a password. I leave the field empty and the application run in the proper way.
I've tryed to unlock my Keychain application and disable all the restrictions in it.. but nothing happen! At the first launch these applications continues to ask for the keychain pass.
Any suggestions??
Really thanks

10.5.8 Safari in new user accounts is asking for session password

Hi,
Since I upgrade the server to 10.5.8, Safari is asking for session password (login.keychain) when a user first log in and goes on the web. Deleting the login.keychain on the server template doesn't help much since Safari is complaining that there is no keychain and ask to rebuild it.
If I try to reinitialize the keychain in the user account, I must enter the _template password_.
How can I get Leopard to create a new login.keychain for Safari everytime a new user login?
Funny I did not get this problem in 10.5.7
Actually, should I just get rid of Safari and force everybody to use Firefox to avoid future problem? As a tech, I met very few issues with Firefox compare to Safari.
Thanks

Was able to solved this issue by creating home folder for the user from WGM.

Printer keeps asking for a password when printing in safari or firefox

Hello I'm new to the Mac. I have been a PC User for over 30 years.
Here is my issue. I print in safari or Firefox and every time it asks for a password from the user. I click remember the key but everytime it pops up when I want to print.
How do I fix this.
Thanks

Hello, & welcome to the forums & Macdom!
Welll, this is a new one on me, does it print from other Apps without a Password?
Is this for any site, or just certain ones?

A pop up window asking for my password?

Ever since I changed the admistrators password, this stupid window keeps popping up.
I've searched everywhere and it's driving me crazy LOL All I do is cancel it (hit the red circle)but it keeps coming back.
any ideas?
It says that Safari is asking for the password...

This is in the Help section..and it isn't true. I never DID create a keychain password. And, it is NOT the same password as my login password. I've tried every password I've ever used, and NONE OF THEM WORK. This is really (oh, excuse me while I hit the cancel button twice) ARGH The only password I ever set was the adminstrator one. I used to set Screen Saver passwords on PC's with ease...the Mac password system is wayyy too complicated.
========================
You start with a single keychain, which is created automatically the first time you log in to your Mac OS X user account. Your default keychain has the same password as your login password. This keychain is unlocked automatically when you log in to Mac OS X and is referred to in Keychain Access menus as the "login" keychain.
You can create different keychains to store passwords for different purposes (for example, one for work and one for online shopping) or make a copy of a keychain so you can take it with you to other computers.
Keychains can be accessible to just a single user or sha

Keeps asking for keychain password when i open programs

i open safari, it asks for a password. I open almost anything and it asks for a keychain password, and i put the password i use to login to my username and it says it is wrong. I want this off, i dont want this coming up, so how do i go along doing this, especially without the password?

I'm not entirely sure this will work if your keychain is already locked, but try this:
* Log in as the user who is having the issues
* Open up System Preferences -> Accounts
* Make sure the user under "My Account" is highlighted
* Enter a new Password (you'll have to enter your currenty password first).
Note: this does not have to be a different password, you can use the exact same password you are using now, but you must re-enter it.
* Re-enter your password in the Verify field.
* Click on the Show All Button or any other button to get System Preferences to save your changes.
At this point a pop-up menu should show up telling you your keychain password has been reset. You may have to log out and back in again, but you shouldn't be getting the keychain pop errors any more.
Alternatively if you don't have anything important in your keychain you can always delete your keychain and it's preferences, of course then you'll lose all the information that's stored there.
HTH.

Time machine is asking for a password. What password is it asking for, and where is it?

I'm trying to restore a machine that has ben seriously compromised... I have a disk image, I have backups, I have Time Machine.
Time Machine is asking for a password to restore - there is no password in keychain, no administrator password works, I have no idea what the password to the share is. I have other machines accessing the share just fine. My written records say I put it as a stupid password: guest. But that doesn't work. How do I recover this password?
I've tried to recover from the disk image, but Disk Utility says it doesn't have disk space to do so. I've tried via rsync, and while I seem to have built a computer, it says it cannot find the OS when I attempt to boot.
I'm pretty lost. Why is Time Machine asking for a password? Where can I find this password? Why is it not in Keychain?

Apparently the mybooklive isn't so good about keeping passwords.
Do:
Open Safari
Bookmarks > Show all Bookmarks
Bonjour
mybooklive
users
administrator
update password
Bizarre solution that I can write to it, retreive it from a working system, but I can't restore from it! Augh.

Cant receive my yahoo mail on my latest ipad, keeps asking for my password, when I respond same message- password

Suddenly can't receive my yahoo mail on my latest ipad, keeps asking for my password, when i
put it in,same message flashes up, reset does not work, also waiting for apple time lapse, still does not want to give me my yahoo mail on this format, tried talking to apple online contact, cut off, I'm receiving through safari, nothing through my email app

Give it time. Yahoo has been doing things to their servers that often muck up the Mail app. Usually it takes 24-48 hours to run its course then it'll work again.
if it doesn't clear up by the end of the weekend, you can remove and readd your account, but chances are it'll just start to work.

After use, I shut the screen down and now a red light is flashing where the sleep indicator is, when I open the computer up it asks for a password, but my computer doesn't have a lock on it?

Regarding your new Guest Account.
If it is the Guest User created by Find My Mac, it is advisable that you leave it be in order to maintain the functionality of the Find My Mac system. It is not a typical guest account. A person can't use the account to log into the system. It only permits the user (presumably a thief) to use a crippled version of Safari, in which the thief will reveal his/her location, hopefully to an end result wherein you may be able to recover the stolen computer.
The very nature of this unique guest account is to increase the security of the system, not to degrade it as a typical guest account might do.

Hi SheilaStuhr,
The troubleshooting steps detailed below can help get you connected to your iPhone's personal hostpot.
Basic troubleshooting
See if your iOS device, computer, and wireless plan all meet the system requirements for Personal Hotspot.
Make sure Personal Hotspot is on: Tap Settings > Cellular > Personal Hotspot.
Check the Internet connection on your iOS device: Tap Safari and load a new webpage.
If one connection type doesn't work, try another. For example, instead of connecting using Wi-Fi, use USB or Bluetooth.
Turn Personal Hotspot off and on: Tap Settings > Personal Hotspot or Settings > Cellular > Personal Hotspot.
Install the latest version of iOS.
Reset your network settings: Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
If you still see the issue, restore the iPhone.
If you're still experiencing issues, try the steps below.
Wi-Fi troubleshooting
If you encounter an issue using Personal Hotspot with other Wi-Fi devices, try these steps:
Turn Personal Hotspot off.
Turn on Wi-Fi: Tap Settings > Wi-Fi.
Turn on Personal Hotspot.
If another device can't join your Wi-Fi network, make sure the Wi-Fi password is correct.
If the device can't see your Wi-Fi network, check your device name. Windows may not correctly show a device name that uses non-ASCII characters.
See how many devices are using your Personal Hotspot. Depending on your wireless carrier, the number of Wi-Fi connections may be limited to three devices at once.
If the other device still can't connect, turn Wi-Fi off and on for the device.
Make sure that your device can see other Wi-Fi networks.
Note: If you see "Unable to Join" or a timeout error when you try to connect a device using Wi-Fi, remain on the Personal Hotspot screen until the first device connects. After the device connects, you can leave the Personal Hotspot screen and use your iPhone normally. Your device will stop broadcasting Wi-Fi if you put it to sleep or if 90 seconds elapse and no connected devices use Wi-Fi. To share your Wi-Fi network again, tap Settings > Personal Hotspot.

After IOS 8 upgrade, when I turn my phone on, it asks for a password and none of my passwords seem to work. I have already managed to update my password.

I upgraded to IOS 8 and now when I turn on the phone, it is asking for a password and I have used every password I have used previously but the phone is not accepting the last one I upgraded to. I did a reset of my password but now have to wait 20 more minutes before I can try to get into my phone. I have no idea as to what to do. Thanks to anyone who can help.

Could it be your email password, or your exchange pass code ? If that does not work you may need to restore the iPad. Good luck.

When trying to update apps it asks for account password but it doesn't show my account. Help!

When trying to update apps it asks for account password but it doesn't show my account ID, it shows my dad's. How can I fix this so I can sign in?

It sounds like the apps were purchased using your dads account, so they will have to be updated using that account.
