Safari is not storing passwords for certain webpages

Hi,
I am wondering why Safari won't store the login/passw for certain webpages in my keychain. It is not asking if I want to save it.
Even if I make the entry in the keychain all Safari does is to ask for the keychain password when I enter the webpage, but won't fill in the login/passw.
Any ideas?
Regards
M.

I have been told that some websites block the password storing function - for example, banks and credit card sites. It is a protection for their customers. At any rate, none of my financial sites allow automatic password fill-in.
Those are the only types of sites where I have had that happen. Is that the type of site you are having trouble with?

Nokia N8 Social App not storing password for Faceb...

Nokia N8 social app keeps on asking me to re-enter the facebook password. Also when on facebook, keep on getting logged out. Is there a way to keep the password for facebook without having to re-enter it all the time?

I have had the same problem, always having to enter my password. Solution: don't log out; instead, just exit (from the bottom right).

Keychain not storing password for mail in user account

I set up another user account on my new macbook pro so my wife could check her email in apple mail. but every time she signs on and opens mail, it tells her to enter her password. I've tried everything, including deleting the email accounts and setting them up again. it's HIGHLY HIGHLY annoying. it doesn't happen in my account, only in her user account. how do i fix this??

Basically, the fix is to put all your mail passwords in a separate, always-unlocked keychain.
Here is how to do this:
1) Open keychain access, go to File -> New Keychain. I named mine Mail. Save it in your keychains folder (default), and give it a password.
2) Right click the new keychain and select "Change Settings for Keychain". Here, uncheck the "Lock after" and the "Lock when sleeping". The latter can be left on if you don't mind re-typing your password every time your computer goes to sleep (can also be more secure if you don't lock your whole machine when sleeping).
3) Here is the tricky part: you need to find all your mail keys and drag them into the new keychain. Do a search for your mail host or your login username and you might see a list of keys. It will be flagged as an "Internet password", not web form, and when you click on it it should read "imap://your.web.host.tld/" or pop if you use that, and "smtp://your.web.host.tld/" for your outgoing mail. Just drag them all into your Mail keychain, type in your password and click Accept. The keys will stay on the search screen, but clicking on the Mail keychain will confirm that they are in fact moved.
4) Now lock your primary keychain (the one in bold) and run a test by checking your mail. If no dialog pops up asking for your keychain password then it was a success!

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:

Restart the computer and empty the Trash. Then delete the following items in the same way:

/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.

You may be wondering why you didn't get a warning from Gatekeeper about installing software from an unknown developer, as you should have. The reason is that this Internet criminal has a codesigning certificate issued by Apple, which causes Gatekeeper to give the installer a pass. Apple could revoke the certificate, but as of this writing, has not done so, even though it's aware of the problem. This failure of oversight has compromised both Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. You can't rely on Gatekeeper alone to protect you from harmful software.

Weblogic 10.3 deployException: Could not encrypt password for connection

Well, I guess this is my first time posting in a forum.
My problem is that, when trying to run my servlet, using a jdbc:odbc connection
to an Access-database, I get the following error in the server log:
Running dependency analysis...

The connection I'm using works fine when testing it with the JDeveloper's SQL editor.
It's properties are:

as well as username, password and a local datasource
I'm running JDeveloper 11.1.1 on Vista 32bit
Besides, it's my first time using a database-connection with a servlet
thanks for your help

guess I could have found that earlier ;)
I just had to uncheck the "save password" option in the connection menu and write it in the getConnection() method instead.

Anyone know why, firefox does not remember password for a site when you remove password from the view password site? I removed a pasword in the view password window and now it not asking me to remember and also it is not remembering the password when I go

Anyone know why, firefox does not remember password for a site when you remove password from the view password site? I removed a password for a site that was not remembering the correct password for the "view password" window and now it does not guess the password and does not remember the password for that site. All other sites are being remembered.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== After I deleted the password from the view password window.

The saved password feature worked well, but the site I had saved the password for required that I change the password. I have found no way to update the password in Firefox. After I deleted the saved password, Firefox did not ask if I wanted the new password saved. When this happened before, I removed and re-installed Firefox, and then it worked. I hope there is another way to update a 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.

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...

Safari user name and password for secure sites

I just sent the following to "Mac OS X Feedback"
Some secure sites like brokers, e.g., Ameritrade, do no allow autofill in Safari for the user name and password. In fact Safari does not even ask if you want to remember the user name and password just entered for such sites.
I would like to suggest that something be done for users in such cases:
1) A dialog box comes up warning that this website does not allow autofill.
2) A suggestion is made as to what network setting needs to be changed to allow autofill to work
3) A fix in Safari to take care of this problem
4) Add something to Safari help
Does anyone have a work around for this problem?
Mac Mini (Intel Core Duo) Mac OS X (10.4.5)
Mac Mini (Intel Core Duo) Mac OS X (10.4.5)
Mac Mini (Intel Core Duo) Mac OS X (10.4.5)

Think about what would happen if someone gained access to your Mac, say while you were briefly away from your desk or whatever. They launch Safari, go to the login web page of (for instance) your bank & discover that autofill has helpfully filled in your user name & password so all they have to do to get access to your accounts is click the login button.
From there, they can transfer all your assets to some other account (theirs!) or invest in FlyByNight.com or whatever -- they can do anything your password lets you do with any password-protected account ... anything!
Take this a step further. Say you have enabled auto-login to your primary account at startup, or have used an easy-to-guess account password for it. Someone steals your computer ... & with it potential access to all your online accounts with autofill entries.
Not a pretty picture, is it?

Email program not storing passwords

I am using the email program that came on my new Macbook. I have 3 POP email accounts set up. Most times the book checks for email, it asks me to key the password for the email account. Not every time ... but most times. It is stored in the keychain. I have deleted and restored it to no avail. Why wont it store (or maybe pass) the password?

Does not remember password for Virgin Usage when it does for Webmail

In Firefox 2.0.0.20 (the latest version that will work in WinMe), the username and password for Virgin WEBMAIL is prompted, but the identical information for an identical login form for Virgin Broadband USAGE is NOT prompted; and the settings for REMEMBERING the login details are ineffective FOR THIS SITE. I have tracked differences between these sites to differences in 'Page Info' in
Firefox's Tools menu, but I cannot change the Page Info for USAGE to be the same as for WEBMAIL. I have failed to trigger login-details-prompting by 'artificially' adding them to the Stored Passwords list. Can someone help me make Firefox prompt the login details for USAGE as it does for WEBMAIL ?

I see your reply was on August 16, but I was not alerted to it till now, through a 3rd party.

The second one is for webmail, and the fields are prefilled - which is how I want the first one to behave.

Identify/expire Pages that have not been accessed for certain time

Hi,
I would like to create a publishing portal. Many users are able to create pages. I have the requirement that if a page does not get accessed for a certain time-period - it should be flagged for deletion and the creator should be notified by email.
Expiration policies depend on creation/modification date. Does this work for the last-accessed time (whereever I get this information from) aswell?
Sven

Use below powershell
$outputPath = Read-Host “Outputpath (e.g. C:\output\UnusedSites.txt)”
$lastDate=Read-Host “Last Accessed Date (in format mm/dd/yyyy)”
$gc = Start-SPAssignment
$site=$gc | get-spsite -Identity https://sitecollectionUrl
foreach($web in $site.AllWebs)
if ($web.LastItemModifiedDate -lt $lastDate)
