Safari generated website password lost...

Hello all...
ISSUE: I created a user profile for a forum. Safari suggested a password, so I selected to use it. Now I am trying to sign in with the info, but Safari will not auto-fill the password, and the site is not found in the keychain access.
Where can I retrieve the auto generated password? Again, a search for the site in keychain access produces no results.
I saw similar Q's, but none of them answered.

I too would love to know how to control this. I used FB with safari then I found it was automatically logging me into other sites when FB login was an option - however, I did NOT want to logged into those other sites!

Tell Apple--you are just asking other iPhone users here, and they don't know what Apple plans to do.
http://apple.com/feedback/iphone.html
Anyone who does know what Apple plans to do is under NDA to not tell anyone. Incidentally, your feature requests would depend as much on overcoming memory and network limitations as Apple coding something.
You might check out the app Instapaper, which is an offline reader that I suspect exists to workaround these types of annoyances. I haven't tried it myself, but I've seen a lot of good reviews.

Safari not suggesting passwords

I have been trying to figure out how to have Safari 7 suggest passwords and it will not suggest 1. It is syncing keychain information via iCloud as I expect but what is the trick to have Safari generate a password?
Mavericks, Safari 7, iOS 7.

From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Passwords tab.
Make sure: AutoFill user names and passwords is selected.

How do I get Keychain to generate a password for me? It does not ask to do so automatically anymore.

Originally, Keychain would automatically offer to create a random password for me. After refusing the offer many times, Keychain no longer offers anymore for any of my regular websites. How do I get it to offer again?

Open Keychain Access.
Select the desired item in the list,
Double click the item or use 'File > Get info'.
Click the checkbox to reveal the current password & enter your keychain password to view it.
Now click the 'key' icon next to the password field.
The 'password assistant' window appears, use that to to generate a password, when you are happy with it click the 'Save changes' button in the 'info' window for that item.

Safari and saved passwords

hi
i was wondering if any faced this same problem whereby Safari just doesn't remember the passwords anymore?
under safari > preferences > autofill > i have everything checked, incl users name and passwords
however, when i navigate to a website with a username/email and password to be entered, the email/username autofills, but NOT the password.
(i have been to this site, entered the password, and saved before)
however, when i type in the same password, safari says, "this password is different ... would you like to save"
of cos i do instead of "not now" or "never" but it just happenss time and time again
i have tried to "remove all" usernames and password from preferences > autofill but it didnt help
please help... its irritating me and firefox now seeems a SMARTER alternative.

Thanks, but private browsing isn't enabled. At first I thought it was a .mac sync issue, but creating a clean account on the laptop (not really a PowerBook as I said, in the first post, but a new MBP), had essentially the same problem. Saved passwords wouldn't stick. This isn't an issue on my iMac running Leopard 10.5.1.
I've tinkered a little further, and I can delete the entries from the keychain and copy in a new entry from a clean keychain imported from the iMac (using file copy, instead of .mac sync). That will load and retain the passwords properly, but then I discover new wrinkle to this problem. Safari can no longer keep track of passwords for multiple usernames for the site. My wife and I have different usernames for webmail sites. It won't retain separate passwords for each username.
No third party extensions/hacks. Again, this was a pristine system. Several people seem to have similar problems, so I'm hoping Apple's working on it.

Won't save websites password

I have tried two advice one is click on Remember password in option and that did not save the website password. I have tried disable Remember password as I can't find anywhere in option that clear history when closing the application. Even on website, I click on "Remember me" or "Remember password", either Firefox or the website won't save the password for next time in Firefox. I have version 29.0.1. I even uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox with no success. Example of two websites I am having problem saving password for are Myspace and AOL. Can is there something I am missing to make this work? Thank you.

If you are concerned about someone else looking at that file, you can
compress it using a password.

Is there a way that safari can remember passwords? I'm pretty uncool so I will need real simple instructions, please

I can't seem to get safari to remember passwords. I'm not too cool so I need some pretty basic help. Thanks

From your Safari menu bar (top of your screen) click Safari then from the drop down menu click Preferences.
Select the Autofill tab.
Make sure User names and passwords is selected.
If you are having problems with specific sites where Safari won't "remember" a password, open the Keychain Access app.
That's located in /Applications/Utilities
Select Passwords on the left. Type in the name of the website where Safari isn't storing the password then right or control click that keychain then click Delete.
Go back to Safari, go to the website, login with your user name and password. You should be prompted to save that data to a new keychain. Click Yes.
Also, your profile indicates you are running v10.5.7. If that is correct, you need to update your system software including Safari.
Click your Apple menu icon top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click: Software Update...
Restart your Mac after the updates are installed.

Website password save

One of my website passwords used to be saved but one of my friends signed in with his password & clicked the 'never for this website' box when it appeared. Ever since I have had to type my username and password everytiem I log in. Is there any way of getting it to ask me again so I can resave it? I have checked autofill preferences in safari, and if i click autofill it just says it has no relevant info to autofill.
Hope this is something obvious that im juat not seeing!!
Thanks.

Look in the Keychain, Keychain Access.
There should be a Keychain for that website and that is set to never save password for that site.

I have a new computer and I want to use the "MasterPassword" again. How do I import all of the saved website passwords/logins from my old FireFox computer?

I have a new computer and I want to use the "MasterPassword" again. How do I import all of the saved website passwords/logins from my old FireFox computer?

A couple of methods.
The first is to copy 2 files, key3,db and signons.sqlite from the profile folder of the old computer t the profile folder of the new computer. For details of how to find the profile folder see the [[profiles]] article.
The second method is to install the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2848/ Password Exporter] add-on on both computers and use that to export/import the passwords.

Mac Safari open website in mobile version sometimes, such as GoogleTranslate. How to solve it

Sometimes Mac Safari open website in mobile version, such as GoogleTranslate. How to solve it?
I use iPhone and iPad as well, but I never open google translate page using safari both on iPhone and iPad. Just use the GoogleTranslate App sometimes.
Why does my Mac Safari open google translate page in mobile version for no reason?

If you use iCloud to synchronize Safari with a mobile device, you may be opening a bookmark to the mobile version of the site. Another possibility is that you're getting a Handoff activity from the device.
Remove everything from the URL except the domain name and try again. For instance, if the URL is something like this:
http://www.example.com/mobile
or
http://mobile.example.com
change it to this:
http://www.example.com

How do i set up generated app password for gmail

Hi. I don't see an option for setting up generated app passwords for my gmail accounts on the iPad settings menu. (yahoo has a line for password on this screen)
I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling (thinking maybe I should use the password on installing), but that doesn't work.
.(here is the pic for gmail options which doesn't give option for password)
Anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance.

if you don't setup the mail account on your ipad but just sync mails from your computer to the ipad, I think it would display like that
you need to add the mail account rather then just sync mails from your computers mail program

Installed Safari 1.3.2 & lost hotlink in Emails

I Installed Safari 1.3.2 & lost hotlink capabilities in Entourage 11.2.1.

I then downloaded from Apple both Safari 1.3.1 & 1.3.2 (because the message for 1.3.2 said you needed to have 1.3.1)
Both would have been updaters, not the full application.
You need to reinstall your original Safari from your install disks, then update from the latest update for Safari 1.3.2.

HI,
Wow you must have been watching me type and hit send since it took about 1 minute for the reply. Thanks.
Yes i understand the purpose however i still feel as though i should be able to decide for myself if i want to use them as an "option" or turn them off entirely. It's sort of akin to the "trash bin" that's not really trash, though in that instance at least microsoft and Apple listened to consumers (eventally) and allowed users to make the choice. Hey there's a thought how about Apple points the delete to the trash bin and looses the annoying popup, that way we can restore cookies? Sorry, i'm being sarcastic but in my view, if i delete a cookie or a cached web icon it's not exactly the same thing as "saving us" from deleting a spreadsheet or system files. Oh but wait in that instance i CAN delete them without having to endure the annoying "are you sure" pop up. it looks like someone missed the bus on this one. Thanks again I'll check the web for the terminal command and try and edit the tag myself.

Sun idm 8.0.0.3: generate random password according to policy

Hi all,
probably a stupid question: using sun idm 8 I have an active-sync-source, containing employees but no passwords. So I should generate a new password in my active-sync-form and search for a way to export the password so new employees can be sent a letter "welcome at company, here is your password". Something like that.
However, I fail to generate a password in the first place. I think I read about a PasswordGenerator once, but can't find it.
So, what's the preferred way to generate a new password, if possible according to a selected password-policy?
CU,
Patrick.

OK, OK if the policy is set to generate my troubles go away.... I thought that was gone with metaview?
Anyway, what if I'd like to choose a special Policy for creation that differs from normal operations?
CU,
Patrick.
